Cannabis for joint pain, Pinocchio discovers he can grow his own & Jimmy Cricket is thrilled too… just for enjoyment.  I was inspired by recent Pinocchio creations!

Pinocchio is one of my all time favourites. Walt Disneys version created in 1940 amazes me, every time. 
The original background art is stunning, look at the details if you have the opportunity.The animation involved by several creative contributors to make it the masterpiece it is.
The story - non stop adventure &life lessons… a tale loved by countless & it’s been told several times the past couple of years. 
I suggest watching them all, over the holidays, each a work of art.  

 I’ve already written about Roberto Benigni 2019, version of Pinocchio, it was lovely & visually comforting, live action & animation & a sweet tale with a few tears. This would be my 3rd choice.

Guillermo de Toros version of Pinocchio - on Netflix is my second choice - the stop motion animation had me watching in amazement! Fascinating to imagine the work that went into this animation wonder. It’s different - as in story.  A little brutal at times, actually  &  Yes, it did bring me to tears.   I need to watch it again - just to appreciate the animation.  I think in some ways it’s better than Disneys original… which brings me to my last choice.

The new Disney version of Pinocchio, Tom Hanks was perfect casting. The rest was as anticipated, terrific animation, visual effects on a Disney scale & the storyline much the same from the first version. I enjoyed it but there were a few things I thought they should not have changed,  I did not like the character design on several in this version, but everything changes… even Pinocchio.
First choice - The original 1940. Pinocchio, hand drawn & painted classical animation beauty, clearly - we are still watching it 80 years later.

Snows on the way!  Tis the season.  Stay safe
