Pinocchio (1940) [720]

In Pinocchio, Walt Disney's adaptation of Carlo Collodi's 1883 children's fantasy novel, the story depicts the desire of a freshly carved wooden puppet to become a real boy: a living, breathing kid that can talk and walk without strings. Indeed, this fervent yearning for a wholesome life becomes real when the angelic Blue Fairy hears the romantic wish of kindly puppet-maker Geppetto and decides to vitalise Pinocchio, his inanimate creation. However, as all human beings are incomplete without a conscience, minuscule but wise Jiminy Cricket becomes Pinocchio's faithful companion and the voice of reason--an unshakable supporter entrusted with the crucial task of guiding the gullible boy through life's constant distractions. Now Pinocchio has everything he needs to succeed. Will the smiling boy made of enchanted pine wood manage to be brave, truthful, and unselfish?
