Pinocchio First Time on Digital Movie Review
Pinocchio Review
*I received a Blu-Ray copy of the movie “Pinocchio” in order to facilitate this review, however as always opinions are 100% my own. ‘
Do you have a favorite Disney movie? Most of us do and for me, I would have to say that Beauty and The Beast, as well as Pinocchio top my list as being my “favorites”. I can remember watching Pinocchio on VHS tapes and then waiting for it to rewind (which took forever), just so I could watch it again. Today January 31,2017 Pinocchio is being released for the first time on Digital HD. Oh how times have changed huh??
Gone are the days of watching films over and over one right after another but my love for movies still exists today and watching Pinocchio made me think about the days gone by. But I think that one of my favorite quotes from this film is, “When You Wish Upon a Star” your dreams come true!! Because it really does happen if you put your heart into it as well as that being one of the most “magical” things about Disney films.
Pinocchio, Gepetto and even Jiminy Crickets all played very important roles in this film and they became a true family. Always prove yourself brave, truthful and unselfish in life and you will go farther than you ever dreamed possible.
