Summary: Parents Pinocchio still makes a great holiday gift
Review: When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you
are, anything you heart desires will come to you."

You've heard this song on the Disneyland and Superbowl commercials, but do you remember where it came from?

It came from this cartoon, Pinocchio, Walt Disney's second feature to "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" in 1940.

I repeat 1940!! Wow and to this day ,Pinocchio still stands out as one of the greatest movies of all time.

Many parents are probably still scrambling finding gifts
for their kids, but I urge all parents who feel the need
to buy their kids violent games in order to satisfy to
make a better decision and buy a classic family valued classic
like Pinocchio.



This was a Christmas gift for my best friend and she loved it, and I can see why.

Pinocchio is filled with dazzling animation,music and filled with so much fun and happyness that at the end of the movie , you will feel like wishing upon a star youreself.

Pinocchio is about a wooden puppet made by toymaker Geppeto (Christian Rub) who wants his own son.

Geppeto makes one wish, to have his own son. Geppeto gets his wish when the Blue Fairy brings Pinocchio to life!!!

It took nearly 700 animators and technicians to bring Pinocchio to life and the hard work definitely shows!!!

People can say whatever they want about Disney current movies, true they lack a certain magic unlike their cherish cartoon like Pinocchio, but Disney is one of a few companies that has a SOLID record of making Cartoon Classics that are loved by everyone.

The fairy brings Pinocchio to life and promises to Pinoccho (voice of Dickie Jones) that he will remain a real boy if he follows the basic principles that every boy should have.

He has to be loyal, truthful and above fair. She assigns Jiminy Cricket (Cliff Edwards) to be Pinocchio's conscience.

Well it sounds easy at first, but living up to these values is the real challenge here and Pinocchio tries his best to follow them,but since he has just being turned into a boy he doesnt yet know right from wrong.

This is where we meet characters like ,J. Worthington Foulfellow, Stromboli and Barker who take advantage of the young boy.

Jiminy Cricket and the fairy save Pinocchio from his judgement calls ,but yet Pinocchio doesnt learn to tell the truth and when he lies his nose starts to grow like a Christmas tree. :-)

Meanwhile Geppeto is looking for Pinocchio and ends up being captured by a giant whale Monstro!!!

Pinocchio saves Geppeto in a brillian animation sequence and Pinocchio by displaying bravery ends up being a real boy permanently.

It's a classic, I can say more but I dont want to spoil it for anyone

In an age, where moral, brilliant, wholesome cartoons are scarce you look back to the classics and Pinocchio will forever stand out as one of the greatest classics ever made by Walt Disney who has left his print in the world and in children's hearts.

Go out and buy this for youre children

You can get the DVD or buy the Special Edition VHS cassette
which has been restored and looks fabulous, Walt Disney
himself would be proud of his work has been remaster and
once again upon for a young generation to love.

Summary: One of Disney's best, but needlessly blown out of proportion
Review: A well-done movie from Disney. A great kids movie, and the adults will find much to love here too. Jiminy Cricket really steals the show- just watch the scene where he comes into the pool hall where Pinocchio is smoking cigars and starts Jiminy yelling at him. I thought the scene was very funny. A good movie for the kids, slightly more mature than other Disney flicks, but something that the children will like.

However, I don't understand why parents say they don't like showing this to infants and toddlers. Fact is, a two year old child will not understand what is going on very well, if at all. The transformation scene, the smoking, destruction, and the gun under Geppetto's pillow goes right over any young child's head. If a child tells you that the movie scares them, you simply put the DVD in a closet and leave it there- period. The movie was made about 2/3 of a century ago, when people didn't make such a big stink over EVERYTHING that happens in a children's movie. And please use your head- if you are thoroughly convinced that Pinocchio will scare your toddler out of his socks, then purchase him a copy of "Hoop De Doo! It's A Wiggly Party" or "The Care Bears Movie". Be warned, though- your child may not like these sugary sweet, super censored programs any more than you do.

Summary: Steven this was your night, love Garry
Review: My dearest friend Steven Spielberg, tonight, history was made as Garry Hixon Jr. presented Pinocchio in Mirror Vision for the first time in history. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life. It was a life changing experience, Ill never be the same. This is your time capsule Steven, he had been wishing this since he was 10 years old. Steven, right now, tonight, your young again, your just breezing through time, choose the things youll be proud of, the things that last. When Steven Spielberg wishes upon a mirror vision star, if you believe, then I believe, when you wish upon a mirror vision star, makes no difference who you are, any mirror vision that you dream, will come to drew, if you heart is in your mirror vision, no request is too extreme, anything you heart desires, will come to drew, like a bolt out of the blue, mirror vision steps in and sees you thru, timeline-Monday, Sept. 6th, 2004, presented at 8:30 to 10:30 p.m., Garry and Steven were here, and watched Pinocchio in mirror vision for the first time in history, history was made, and little stevens wish came true, goodnight steven my friend, love garry hixon and hello to drew barrymore

Summary: A BOY ON A STRING
Review: MY FIRST MOVIE!

This movie has a special place in my heart in that I first saw it at about age 5 with my dad and it was a momentous occasion. I still remember that day because it was the first time I had ever set foot into a movie theatre. And there's a moral to the story-don't tell a lie. Poor Pinocchio, every time he even attempted to tell a lie, the whole world knew about it just by looking at his nose! When you wish upon a star is one of my favorite Disney songs, and I love Jiminy Cricket.

'Look at the crowds bleeding with laughter, at the way you entertain at beckon call. They don't see beyond the lights, or the painted background.

THEY JUST LIKE TO SEE YOU FALL.'-Jars of Clay's song A Boy on a String

Summary: A puppet classic!
Review: This is a true classic! I have been watching this movie ever since I was 5. Now I am 16 and still like it.

A man named Gepetto(along with his cat Figarro and his goldfish Cleo) makes his own puppets and toys for him to enjoy. His most special puppet is Pinocchio who he wishes could be a real boy. His wish comes true when a fairy came and brought Pinocchio to life but still as a puppet. The fairy realizes that Gepetto not only deserves a boy but a good boy. In order for pinocchio to become a real boy he has to be brave, truthful, and unselfish. Pinocchio is being guided by his conscience named Jimminy Cricket. As the story goes on one day when Pinocchio was supposed to go to school a character named Honest John distracts him and says he can make money performing in a Marionette Show. Pinocchio agrees instead of listening to Jimminy Cricket. But the man Strumbolli(who was in charge of the show) was using Pinocchio because he could talk. pinocchio ended up being locked in a cage. Not even Jimminy could get him out. When the fairy came Pinocchio thought he could get away by lying to her about how he ended up locked in a cage.his nose grew as he lied. But the fairy forgived him and gave him another chance. As they were running home Honest John came back and told Pinocchio about a place where kids can do whatever they want smoke, eat, drink, vandalize, go on rides, tear down buildings etc. Again pinocchio goes along and meets a new friend Lampwick. After realizing that the kids including Lampwick and Pinocchio were turning into donkeys because of a scheme somebody was planning Pinocchio realized he had to get home. On the way home Gepetto, Figarro, and Cleo ends up missing and said to be inside a famous whale named Monstro. Pinocchio and Jimminy are off to the search. I won't ruin the ending of the movie. While you are watching it you can notice the times when Pinocchio was untruthful, selfish, and unbrave.

A good movie with a good story, adventure, and humor.This movie really gives a moral to children that if you misbehave or are hardheaded you will get into a lot of trouble like what Pinocchio did. I hope this was helpful enough. This is pretty much what happened in the movie and it would be better watching it than reading my review. Go ahead and see it!
