Twice in a lifetime...
I have seen Pinochio only once before in my 53 years of life, and that was at an outdoor showing in a tent waaay back in 1980, on Long Island, with about 500 other people, on a 16mm projector.Fast foreward to March 11th, 2009, and my 26 inch LCD home theater...Although I'm legally blind, I still have my ears, and a very limited amount of vision in one eye, so I can see tv if I sit very close to the screen.It was like discovering an old, lost friend.The movie was as fun and scary as I remember it.Especially the Pleasure Island sequence.Yes, and I still hate the Coachman. Even though he has only a small bit of screen time, to me, he is the most vile and evil villan ever created by the Disney animators, making even the White Queen seem like a nun." Oh, they never come back... AS BOYS!"One of the most terrifying scenes ever put on animation or live action.It's a pity that you never see what happens to Honest John and Kitty. They were fun villans, and I sort of hoped that they would have lived a long, ragtag life.Anyhow, it's a sheer joy to have this finally in my collection.
