Pinocchio

1940

Disney's 1940 version of the classic tale of the wooden puppet that longs to be a real boy is one for the ages -- and among the most magical animated films ever made. Aided by his friend Jiminy Cricket, the puppet Pinocchio faces many trials and tribulations on the way to making his dream come true. The film won Oscars for Best Original Score and Best Original Song: "When You Wish Upon a Star," which became a Disney anthem.
