Rating: ****
A superbly animated Disney tale about a wooden puppet named "Pinocchio" who is magically brought to life. He gets a chance to become a real boy and it's up to Jiminy Cricket to morally steer him in the right direction. The film features some incredibly creepy and downright scary imagery, and the villains who exploit the naive Pinocchio are just plain nasty. Good stuff, but it lacks cute babes (unless you count Cleo the goldfish).
