...thinks that either or both Anastasia & Thumbelina are Disney productions THINK AGAIN! Anastasia is a 20th Century Fox production, whilst Thumbelina comes from Warner Brothers. Now that I have that little bugbear out of the way, we are free to continue. Both of these films played a role equal to that of Disney for me as a child, despite never getting quite the fuss or attention they may have deserved - and would certainly have got if they were attached ...

...a legend in my house! Pinocchio is as everyone knows a puppet, who wants to be a real boy. The story follows his antics from being part of a puppet show to going to Pleasure Island the story really can be taken in two ways, children see the innocence in this little puppet and learn lessons about strangers, but adults see the darker side of Walt Disneys story telling and really it was ahead of time addressing alot of the issues that parent really ...
