    by Nick Kush January 26, 2022

    by Kali Tuttle February 19, 2020
    by Kali Tuttle February 19, 2020

    Pinocchio (1940) celebrates its 80th anniversary this year, which is astounding to me. It’s staggering to think that animation has been around for well over 80 years at this point, let alone Disney being relevant for a similar…
