Pinocchio

1940 · dir. Ben Sharpsteen, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske, Norman Ferguson, T. Hee, Jack Kinney, Bill Roberts

What they share

Both films are directed by Hamilton Luske, Wilfred Jackson, and they both carry the bittersweet, cozy, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Cinderella, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Pinocchio is

A small workshop, winter, a half-finished puppet. A woodcarver's wish, a fairy's gift, a puppet's strings. It is a film to watch with children on a rainy day.
