Week 4 journal
I have decided to write about Pinocchio for my short paper project. I am drawn to this film for multiple reasons. I remember it from my childhood, and I was strongly affected by it back then. I was always very fond of Geppetto, who I consider to be an ideal father figure. He is gentle, kind, makes beautiful toys, and his greatest wish is to have a child of his own and be a loving parent. I also love Pinocchio himself, and I have sympathy for Jiminy Cricket, who is the unheard voice of reason with little to no real power over the events of the film. There are multiple other reasons why I enjoy it, such as the themes, art, and impact, which I will explore in my essay.
Outline of essay:
Describe the film, its plot, and characters
Talk about the films significance in the animation world
Talk about how the film affects me and my opinions on it
