Open Air: 75 years of Pinocchio

pinocchio1940Disney's masterpiece celebrates its 75 years, and comes to Be there! in an open-air screening.


It might have become a world famous DIsney picture (in Disney Productions' Golden Age), but the loved Pinocchio is a creation of the European literature and the Italian Carlo Collodi .

Yet, thi animated verion stands out as well. WIth a galaxy of animators (Ben Sharpsteen, Hamilton Luske, Bill Roberts, Norman Ferguson, Jack Kinney, Wilfred Jackson, T. Hee), Pinocchio (1940) has remained firmly in the Disney canon -even if his first theatrical release, marred by the events of WWII, was a failure..

The film celebrates its 75 years and will screen in its restored digital form and an open air screening in  Spianada Square on Saturday 17/10, 21:00  (with the support of the American Corner of Corfu, and the Public Library of Corfu).
