Review of Pinocchio (1940) by Luke B — 16 Sep 2013
A lot of Disney's best work still holds up today. Pinocchio is an episodic but delightfully twisted film. It's basically a fable on how to choose between right from wrong but who cares when it has some scenes worthy of the best horror films.
Pleasure Island is a twisted and terrifying place. The donkey's screaming is very disturbing, as is Lampwick's. He may be a jackass but he is still a little boy with a mother. Like many fairytales movies adapted from books it's a bit jumpy, but at least this keeps the pace going.
