Pinoccio

I started writing these on Facebook in 2019 and figured I’d share them as is on here.

Gootz reviews Every Animated Disney Film ever: 

2.Pinoccio-This has always been my favorite Disney film of all time. I probably haven't seen it in 20 years. It remains so. This is a massive leap over Snow White. Snow White feels more like a animation test. This feels like a movie. When you watch this right after Snow White it's amazing how the animators had progressed in just a few short years. The animation is unparalleled. The background work astounding.Watching this thru 2019 eyes this film is also dark as fuck. You get the sense Walt was telling the world how he really felt in this film. The bad guys all get away unpunished. Everyone but gepeto and Jimmy Cricket is a liar or a scumbag. The coachmaster pays money to kidnap boys and sell them to salt mines. AND HE GETS AWAY WITH IT. But that is why I liked this film. The stuff with Figero and Gepeto means more when your faced with children given free beer until they turn into donkey slaves. Or Stromboni telling Pinoccio he's gonna murder him when he gets older. Because the movie gets so dark the sweet moments mean more. And because your being confronted with the fact the world sucks and bad people get away with doing bad things it makes the Disney cliché happy scenes actually matter. I have to give this a 10 out of 10. It'll be interesting watching these films in order if anything tops this but I think this one of the greatest films ever made and my favorite Disney film of all-time.
