Pinocchio Walt Disney's Second Greatest Masterpiece!
Whoopee!! At long last Disney is re-releasing this classic animated motion picture on Platinum Edition DVD! This is a marvellous treat for all animation fans everywhere !!Disney's second full length animated feature is full to the brim with delights , and marvellous characters , such as Jiminy Cricket , Gepetto, the Blue Fairy , Pinocchio himself , Figaro the Cat , and Cleo the Mae Westian Fish , plus of course the darker elements of the story , namely the Fox John Worthington Foulfellow and his mute sidekick the Cat , the excitable Stromboli, the bad influence Lampwick , the chilling Coachman "Oh they never come back as Boys!! The sequence of Lampwick's transformation ( and not to spoil things I'll say no more ! ) is terrifying!The film is full of exquisite detail , and through the extensive use of the - at the time - State of the Art Multiplane Camera* gives hitherto unseen effects of great depth to several suquences of the movie beginning with the establishing opening shot sequence when we first meet Jimminy Cricket!I look forward to the Making Of Featurette, with Gustav Tenggren's splendid inspirational pre-production drawings etc.This is a movie to add to every animation buff's/family's DVD library!* The Multiplane Camera was first used in the pioneering Silly Symphony The Old Mill , and then in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs , which thankfully , is due out again next October in Disney Platinum Edition on DVD and Blu Ray!
