Quote: “How can you lose a whole person?”- Pinocchio

Fun Facts: Carlo, Geppetto’s deceased son, was named after Pinocchio’s author, Carlo Collodi

The film’s composer only used instruments made out of wood.

Pleasure Island wasn’t in this version, instead, the boys are at the military camp.

This is the longest stop motion film.

Summary: After losing his son, a grieving Geppetto created a puppet which a mythological creature gave life to.

The One Liner Review: If you’re still down about the Disney live action remake, I can tell you that one look at the magnificent looking film and you know you are in for a magical reimagine of the classic story that gave a strong message about life.
