A nice trip down memory lane
I forgot the last time I have seen Disney's PINOCCHIO. I think the last time I saw the classic animated film was when I was still a child. I recently had the opportunity to view Disney's platinum edition of PINOCCHIO. Because it has been such a long time since I last saw the film, I can't really compare the animation with the original version. That said, the story of the puppet coming to life and wanting to become a real boy is timeless. With the assistance of Jiminy Cricket, his conscience so to speak, Pinocchio learns the hard way right from wrong. I'll be perfectly honest, PINOCCHIO was never one of my favorite Disney films. It never struck a chord with me like BAMBI or SNOW WHITE did but at the same time I don't think it is a bad film. This just isn't my favorite Disney film. I personally thought Disney did a great job at digital restoration. The second disc consists of behind the scenes footage and deleted footage. I thought the alternative ending was quite fascinating. The younger audiences will definitely appreciate the games and activities more than adults. Overall the two disc 70th anniversary of this Disney classic is certainly one to own for families with young children.
