Rating: 3.0
Another great classic
Of course no matter what your age, I'm sure you've at least heard of Disney's classic movie. It was the second in a long string of excellent classics created by Walt Disney and his wonderful team.In this movie, a toy and clock maker name Geppetto, along with his two pets, a cat named Pedro and a fish named Cleo, brings this classic to life! Pedro and Cleo both have personalities without even saying a word. Then after Geppetto creates a puppet, he wishes for the puppet to become real.Our story teller is a cricket named Jimminy. He becomes a classic part of Walt Disney and will appear in other Disney movies throughout the years.We also meet a boy named Lampwick who assures Pinocchio that it would be more fun to be bad then good. He plays pool, smokes cigars, and drinks beer (for those parents who are sensitive about that stuff, you might want to watch this part with your kids so you can discuss the good vs. evil).Most of the animals in this movie have personalities. I've already mentioned the cricket, cat, and fish. The whale had a booming personality.Famous songs were in this movie as well. Of course, we've all heard "When you wish upon a star," which becomes the theme song for Disney movies, even today. "Little Wooden Head," "Give a Little Whistle," and "I've Got No Strings" are also all great songs. Of course, the action in the ocean scene is a must see for sure!I've already mentioned the sins of Lampwick, but other things parents may want to be aware of in this classic are: Saloon dancing puppets with obvious cleavage and one scene where Jimminy Cricket touches the backside of a statue and makes a big deal out of it.This particular collection doesn't seem to have a lot of extras on it. I bought it mainly for the movie, so it served it's purpose.
