I grew up watching this as a kid and watching it now, it really brings back great memories. You probably know the story but for those who don't it's about a woodcarver Geppetto who creates a puppet who comes to life and yearns to be a real boy.

Helping him is a talking cricket named Jiminy Cricket(Cliff Edwards). Through trials and tribulations he becomes a better and wiser person. Will he finally be a real boy? The answer's yes. It's amazing how this movie adapted yet made the story its own. If you've read the original you'd know that Pinocchio is a mischievous kid who gets everyone around him into trouble including himself.

Here it's toned down to make him likable but then again he's a kid and it's interesting to see him want to do bad stuff. Jiminy Cricket's enjoyable to watch. I really like his songs "Give a little Whistle" And his rendition of "When You Wish Upon A Star". That's so timeless. Pinocchio's a timeless classic and one of Disney's best. This's a movie for both kids and adults and I highly recommend it. See for yourself.
