So, I've been watching a bunch of the classic Disney movies lately, Fox and the Hound, Mulan, Hercules, Dumbo, and I've got to say... Pinocchio is by far one of the craziest stories out there. A blue fairy comes out of nowhere magically turning a puppet alive, the puppet is stopped by a talking fox on it's way to school and convinced to become an actor and is locked away by a mad puppeteer. When he lies to the blue fairy about it his nose starts to grow (with no explanation about how and why), he goes to Pleasure Island which is full of shadowy creatures and boys who turn into donkeys (again with no explanation as to how and why). After escaping he goes home where a glowing dove comes out of nowhere with a glowing message about how his father was swallowed by a whale (oh, and there's no explanation about who sends that message), and then he goes out and gets swallowed by the whale, escapes, and turns into a real boy by the random fairy.
If you look up summaries about the actual book it was based off, you'll see that the Disney movie is actually pretty mellow compared to the book, but as crazy and random as it is I still have to say that Pinocchio is an absolutely fantastic movie. If you haven't watched it in awhile go watch it now:
And I'm not a huge fan of cats, but Figaro is so darn cute! I want him :)
