Pinocchio

While Snow White was based on emotion and a fairy tale Pinocchio is kinda similar. However this one is based on a book. Where in a fairy tale world you know weird things can happen at any time and yeah this world does that pretty well here. What's the story? An old Wood carver named "Geppetto" makes a puppet boy and wished one night that he was real and the Blue Fairy comes and makes it's happen. "Pinocchio" as the puppet is called comes across a lot of adventures and creatures and a lot of lessons a long the way. Pinocchio is a likable character. Sure he does do things that he shouldn't but he does learn his lesson and he does try to do better. He has a conscience named Jiminy Cricket who, in my opinion, is one of the greatest Disney characters ever. I can't really explain why I just really, really like this guy. The animation is really upped in this movie just like how it was in Snow White. But there everything turned out O.K here everything isn't always O.K. A bunch of misbehaving boys are brought to an amusement park where they're turned into Donkeys where they're going to be used in mining shafts, and that's it, you never see them again. No one knows what they're doing to them and the guy who's doing this to them is never defeated. It's really grim if you ask me. The message is pretty old probably because of how old this movie is. The message is for kids, telling them that if you wish hard enough all your problems will go away. Though I don't really think kids would fall for that kind of thing. I mean kids are always going to be aware that there's bad things in the world. There's going to be things they're going to be afraid of and that wishing isn't going to solve their problems. Witch is a simple thing because this movie feels like a symbol of hope rather than a case of a gigantic message all it's own if you know what I mean. Over all Pinocchio is a fun and family friendly movie with good characters so yeah I recommend it and enjoying it.
