Episode 534 – Pinocchio

Bryan RipperPodcast

On this week’s feature discussion episode, I’m joined by Todd Pierce from the Disney History Institute to talk about Walt Disney’s 1940 animated classic film “Pinocchio”. This was only Disney’s 2nd animated feature film and it was considered a box office flop. We’ll go behind the scenes of the development of “Pinocchio” from the original story by Carlo Collodi to the revolutionary animation practices developed that have many animation historians claiming this film to be a near perfect animated feature.
