The Best of Jiminy Crickets - Episode 26: Pinocchio 80th Anniversary

In this month's "Best of" Chris and Ruthie revisit part one of a two part episode originally released in March of 2020 in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Walt Disney classic, "Pinocchio." This being the 85th anniversary year, we felt it was apt to share this episode again. 


March 4, 2020:This episode pays tribute to one of the greatest animated films of all time, Walt Disney's tour de force of hand-drawn technical brilliance, "Pinocchio," which is celebrating 80 years of bringing love, laughter and timeless entertainment to those who believe in wishes coming true. Ruthie and Chris take you through the entire plot of the film, as they discuss its memorable characters, songs, behind-the-scenes development, the artists who worked on this unmatched production, many little known fun facts, insider trivia, and the film's lasting legacy. Chris also presents his usual musical moments including some rare archival audio. The episode culminates with Ruthie and Chris discussing their favorite songs, scenes and characters, as well as their own personal connections to this magical movie masterpiece.
