Product: Pinocchio
Rating: 5.0
Poor presentation of a true classic
This film is simply magnificent! The definitive animated film. DVD (and laserdisc before it) is the only way to truly see all the detail put into this film (check out the wavery effect above the fire in Geppetto's fireplace). The story has a perfect blend of charm/cuteness and action/scariness wich takes you through some very dark places to arrive at the happy ending. The result is not only an ending that feels well deserved, but one that trancends time to become like a classic tale of old. It might scare the younger ones, but they'll love it anyway. Just like they love tales of the Brothers Grimm.The only problem is that the transfer for this DVD isn't that great. Although the image quality is better than VHS, I own a laserdisc version of Pinocchio that displays a picture with much less grain that this DVD. Still, I wouldn't pass up on owning this treasure because who knows how long it will be before Disney releases the definitive version on DVD. And besides, why deprive yourself of all the fun and excitement of Pinocchio? Buy it.
