Chalk full of moralistic mumbo jumbo. But it's very well animated and the pedofile undertones are fun.
It's funny, every single adaptation of The Adventures of Pinocchio terrified me as a kid (Even the idea of your nose growing every time you told a lie scared the shit out of me!), but this is the one that I stayed away from the most! Those donkeys still freak me out, even to this day! But despite that, this still continues to be Walt Disney's absolute masterpiece!
A technical masterpiece that is the definitive children's tale of growing up and moral choices
It's hip to like this film. Storywise, it's a masterpiece. Technically, it's a masterpiece. Favorite animated film.
A thrilling and disturbing and, yes, genuinely moving masterpiece. Disney's finest movie.
It has moments of greatness and terror, and it's worth it for those moments. It still seems uneven and at times incoherent. This was Disney animators at the height of their game.

Beautiful classic from Disney. Not one of my favorites but still very much worth seeing.
