Pinocchio is one of the first movies I remember watching, so
I have a bit of nostalgia wrapped up in it.
Today I still enjoy it overall, and I think it ranks fairly highly on my
list of favorite Disney movies. But it
doesn’t hold my attention as well as it did when I was younger. I feel like the lack of a strong central
narrative makes it feel a lot slower. The good stuff is very good, but there are bits
that drag on for me. In particular the
beginning feels a bit slow and depends a lot on gags. The big with Stromboli isn’t bad, but never
really stood out either. But I feel like
the Pleasure Island and Monstro parts are pretty good and keep up a brisk pace,
though with a bit of a lull before the main action of escaping Monstro, but
feel like that needs to be there to give the audience a break before the main
action. Today, I would probably rank
Pinocchio more as something I would watch on the side, rather than something I
would devote my full attention to watching.
