The story is about the adventures of a wooden puppet called Pinocchio.
Liked this film much better than the live action feature directed by Robert Zemeckis! Very well adapted to explain Gepetto's relationship with his son before he made Pinocchio and Pinocchio's friendship with his good friend Candlewick. The animation is amazing too!
The story is about a seargent in the French Legionnaire looking back at his military life overseas.
Liked the interesting exercises that the soldiers did, they looked like a blend of yoga and ballet poses! Not really sure what the sergeant was unhappy about though.

The story is about the emotions felt by a young girl called Riley after she moved to a new place with her family. We see what is happening around her and inside her head.
Liked the interesting world inside Riley's head and the adventures by Joy and Sadness! Learned that it is good to have a mix of joy and sadness!

Liked how the children worked together to survive! The back story of the mysterious boy and the two main protagonist was a bit hard for me to follow though.
