I remember growing up and watching Pinocchio with my cousins and just mesmerized. I actually believed there was a place where a wooden marionette could turn into a boy. Who doesn’t cheer Pinocchio on while he’s attempting to demonstrate his bravery, loyalty and honesty to become a real boy? I let Peyton watch Pinocchio for the first time this weekend and here’s what she thought –
Peyton was very excited to sit down and watch. She had heard of Pinocchio but couldn’t understand how a marionette would come to life and then become a real boy. But it didn’t take long for her to be sucked into the movie! She instantly fell in love with Figaro. When I was her age I loved that cat too! There was even one point where Peyton was scolding the television when Pinocchio was on Pleasure Island. It was hilarious! Peyton kept telling him he wasn’t going to become a real boy if he kept making poor choices. Then she’d be quite for a few minutes and the next thing I heard was – “Oh no, there’s another poor choice!”
In the end, Peyton seemed to really enjoy Pinocchio. I know I enjoyed watching it again. It’s nice being able to share a film I grew up loving with my daughter.
In the Blu-Ray release of Pinocchio, you get a few extras!
