Pinocchio
SCORE: 93
I am very thankful that Disney sent Family Friendly Gaming a copy of
Pinocchio on Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD. The last time we reviewed
Pinocchio was in 2009. January 2017 is the first time Pinocchio appears
on Digital HD. The main movie is essentially the same. The bonus content
is where this release of Pinocchio steps things up. I will get into that
later in this review.
If you are whistling while thinking of Pinocchio then you know about the
songs. The tunes are very catchy, and get stuck in your head. I can
still hear a few of them right now. The verbal lessons teaching honesty
are well received here at Family Friendly Gaming. Jiminy Cricket makes a
wonderful conscious, and he encourages Pinocchio to go to school.
Pinocchio’s innocence is portrayed perfectly.
Pinocchio teaches honesty, avoiding temptation, and doing the right
thing. The storyline alone is something worthy of thousands of sequels.
Not only that, I would like to see a sequel to Pinocchio. I would love
to see this fantasy world again, and to see Pinocchio explore the world,
and learn as a real boy. The magical element of becoming a real boy
ignites the imagination. I will be recommending Pinocchio to friends,
family, and pastors I know.
Pinocchio has some fantastic new bonus content. We see a new version of
the Oswald Short Poor Papa. The Pinocchio Project When You Wish Upon A
Star is fun for family members into music. Walt's Story Meetings
Pleasure Island is fascinating for me personally since I am into
history. In Walt's Words Pinocchio is another historical lesson that I
find very fascinating.
Walt Disney was nearly bankrupt multiple times. He believed in quality
over quantity. Pinocchio was originally made in 1940. The quality shines
through today. As well as the lesson about the dangers of vices.
Pinocchio teaches us smoking, and drinking are bad. So is running away
and selfishly following your own desires. Pinocchio still teaches
pertinent lessons today.
