The original Scared Straight!

For all its Jiminy Cricket optimism, Pinocchio is a potent illustration of how people can only improve because they’re so lousy to begin with.

Pinocchio is a substantial piece of entertainment for young and old. Both animation and photography are vastly improved over Walt Disney's first cartoon feature, Snow White. Animation is so smooth that cartoon figures carry impression of real persons and settings rather than drawings.

It still is the best thing Mr. Disney has done and therefore the best cartoon ever made.

The movie is genuinely exciting and romantic, great to look at, and timeless.

Pinocchio redeemed Disney from the parlor trickery of Snow White and suggested animated features could indeed dance without strings.

Pinocchio, in fact, probably shows Disney's virtues and vices more clearly than any other cartoon.

Дисней опять сделал прорыв в области анимации не заметив конкурентов. Очень классно нарисованы различные эффекты, например вода. Правда повествование очень рваное. Саундтрект вообще не понравился, Оскары дали видно из-за того, что не было премии за полнометражный мультфильм.

The rhythmic machinery of a marionette's rebellion: A 3.0-star vivid but familiar drift through high-tension wooden grit.2004(3.0)I watched Pinocchio (1940) in 2004, and it remains a vivid 3.0-star record in my archive—a raw revelation of how a sensational, dark fable can be trapped in a narrative rhythm that feels 100% mechanical and stagnant. This experience **** the fourth wall of the moralizing genre by infusing Pinocchio’s raw, bbo-jjak yet naive precision into a rhythmic journey that turned a pathetic puppet’s lies into a vivid act of storytelling rebellion. The narrative rhythm was far from stagnant in its visual ambition; instead, it offered a sensational acting power show where the raw, high-tension transformation on Pleasure Island and the hororong escape from Monstro the whale left me in a state of absolute awe at its visceral soul. While the production leveraged the vivid, sensational "When You Wish Upon a Star" melody and the raw, chewy bond between Geppetto and his creation, the overall soul felt stagnant, as the narrative rhythm followed a pathetic cycle of repetitive "bad influence" tropes that lacked the high-tension impact of a 5.0-star masterpiece like Anastasia. The 95% preservation of my memory is dominated by the rhythmic, raw beauty of the underwater sequences and the vivid but pathetic cruelty of Stromboli and the Coachman, creating a journey that felt more like a visual nightmare than a permanent, sensational scar of joy on my soul. Unlike the vivid soul of 101 Dalmatians (2000) or the raw brilliance of Tarzan, this encounter possessed a rhythm that was too stagnant and "preachy" to achieve a higher rank. It stands in my 2004 record as a powerful 3.0-star testament to the raw power of Disney’s early horror elements—a high-tension encounter with the vivid rhythm of the Blue Fairy that remains a chewy, if familiar, artifact of my childhood journey.

Uma bela animação, que nos ensina muito sobre ser honesto, não mentir, buscarmos um futuro melhor e diversas outras lições. A animação é lindíssima, e nem mesmo parece que foi feita há 80 anos. Mesmo com o passar do tempo, a obra não envelheceu mal, sendo totalmente reproduzível nos dias de hoje, sem muitos vestígios de preconceito ou racismo. Os personagens são interessante, mas não muito carismáticos. A identidade da disney quanto a sincronia com o som já estava lá, o que é muito interessante de se ver. A ost é linda e marcante, fora toda a influencia que esse filme proporcionou para as animações futuras. Porém, com o passar do tempo, as animações começaram a apresentar um foco maior no desenvolvimento emocional das crianças. As lições ensinadas aqui são valiosas, mas muito vagas. As crianças de hoje são muito complexas e exigem algo a altura. O filme é ótimo, mas quanto a isso, acabou ficando para trás.
