Ranking Every Disney Animated Movie From Worst To Best!

24. Pinocchio (1940)

Aside from producing the beautiful melody that has since become synonymous with the fairytale world of Walt Disney ("When You Wish Upon a Star"), Pinocchio is a delightful (and surprisingly dark) story of doing the right thing.

Pinocchio, himself, is easy to root for because it's understandable why he would occasionally mess up; he's a literal sentient puppet who can't possibly differentiate between right and wrong.

But like... does anyone ever talk about how terrible Pinocchio's parental figures are? I mean, Geppetto "waits his whole life" for a child but then he's ready to just send him off alone to school 5 minutes after meeting him? And Jiminy Cricket is given one literal job as Pinocchio's conscience, and he's repeatedly awful at it. It's honestly super frustrating to watch at times.
