Rating: 5.0
Golden Animation
When I was five I cried as my parents took me out of the cinema. I wanted to go back and see it all again! I had to wait thirty years and I was right! Pinocchio is probably my favourite Walt Disney film. No money was spared as scene after scene of this 1938 film blew me away with all the detail on screen. The scene with the clocks in Gepetto's house has some of the best animation ever drawn. When you look at later films like The Rescuers, The Great Mouse Detective, Sword In The Stone... you can see that masterpieces like this could not be sustained (and nor could the budgets). Only with The Little Mermaid in 1988 did the Disney renaissance begin.
