Review of Pinocchio (1940) by Matt G — 20 Aug 2018
Disney's unabashed masterpiece. He could've easily doubled-down on the proven success of Snow White for his 2nd feature. Instead he made a weird, dark tale about a good-hearted cricket who is in-over-his-head trying to teach morals to a comically naïve little "boy" constantly being suckered by sketchy adults.
This is also the single greatest leap in animation quality in Disney history; the detail & character work is of course incredible, but the backgrounds & camera work are spectacularly inventive.
