Pinocchio

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

Cinderella

1950 · dir. Wilfred Jackson, Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske

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 Pinocchio, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Cinderella is

Midnight, a clock tower, glass shattering. A young woman's pumpkin carriage, a royal ball, a lost shoe. This Disney classic remains a pleasant watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
