Honest John and Gideon once more manage to lead Pinocchio astray by convincing him to go to Pleasure Island. On his way he befriends Lampwick, a misbehaved and destructive boy who convinces Pinocchio to act like he and the other boys on Pleasure Island do. Pinocchio enjoys gambling, smoking, getting drunk and destroying Pleasure Island much to Jiminy's dismay. However Jiminy discovers that the island has the power to turn boys who "make jackasses of themselves" into literal donkeys. These boys are then sold to work in the local salt mines.

Oh my God! Bad memories flooding back! :lol

Some of my favorites didn't make the list:

 

The Point - Fred Wolf

 

Interesting backstory to that one.....Harry Nillson (I think...) was on an acid trip and came to the mighty conclusion that everything has a point......so he had this film made. Didnt Ringo Starr narrate it?

 

Available on Netflix.

 

Not earth shattering but its an ok film for a sleepy Saturday afternoon.

Ringo or Dustin Hoffman, depending on your copy of it, I think.

 

 

I liked Wall-E a lot, for the record, but father-son stories really pull my heartstrings, so Finding Nemo gets my nod.

My .02:

 

-No 'Sword In The Stone'? For shame, that movie was incredible.

 

-All this CGI-based crap can suck it. I want hand drawn or nothing.

 

-This movie star/celebrity voice-over craze=shite.

I would like to have seen The Brave Little Toaster included instead of Chicken Run.

 

Oh crap, I forgot about The Brave Little Toaster. That's def in my top 10.

 

My oldest son used to watch that movie about 3 times a day for a while when he was little. I love that movie.

Love Sword in the Stone - The once and future king is a agreat book which features the SITS as the first of it's stories.

 

 

Hand drawn of nothing? You get nothing then!

Has anyone caught the Warner Brothers story that's been airing on PBS? One critic (I forget who) called 'What's Opera Doc?" the greatest accomplishment in Warner Brothers history, and I think I agree - sure, it's a short, but hell - nothing in animation rivals it.

(I still like that TS2 is #1 on this list though)
