The Movie:
Pinocchio (1940)
What Is It?: Disney
produced its first feature-length animated masterpiece with its adaptation of
Carlo Collodi’s story of a wooden boy’s coming of age. With none of the cutesy
filler of Snow White, Pinocchio moves forward with exciting
momentum and dark adventures. The painterly artistry will make you long for the
days before cartoons were made on laptops.
Why Today?: Today
is Unique Names Day.
