Pinocchio (1940) *****

Pinocchio is probably one of my favorite Disney films and represents the great, early masterpieces of Disney animation. With Pinocchio you get a story that not only entertains, but also serves as a morality tale for children that isn't too preachy and entertaining. It's a mesmerizing film that makes you believe in crickets in tuxedos and wooden boys that turn into jackasses.

A great kids film will entertain children as well as adults. This is what Pixar does so well today and the early Disney features accomplished this feat in the same way. A pure masterpiece.
