⭐ I watched the Director's Cut. ⭐ JustWatch.com doesn't have a way of linking directly to a specific version, so you'll have to look up that version if you don't already own it. It has the longest runtime at 2h17m.

Click here to watchalong with me.

Stoked to have checked this off the watchlist and big apologies for the almost week delay with this one. I'll be sharing some news soon that will explain the weird week.

Please enjoy!

This is one of my favorites. The overall vibe of awe, curiosity, and adventure brings out a child-like feeling. I've been to Devil's Tower. It is decently touristy. Not sure if it was before this movie. On a side note, why do we name every rock formation "devil's something?" Over by me we have Devils Lake and Devil's Doorway. Anyways, I'm on the fence about Roy as family-man. He could've done a better job explaining fractions, but his son's tears proves that he is loved as a father figure. I'm sure Goofy Golf would have been fun, but I'll choose Pinocchio every time.

I was 26-27 when this was in theaters, a film student. I identify with Roy... middle class (I was married with two kids), totally enamored with the Disney version of Pinocchio. Notice the multiple times "When You Wish Upon a Star" is heard, not just when the porcelain figure is shown exposed by Roy, but as the ship shows up and especially as Roy is chosen to board the ship. He always wanted the joy of the journey, to be guided. As lovely as Teri Garr is, her character refuses to adapt... she mouths to gets therapy then runs when he fully breaks down. When You Wish Upon a Star remains my favorite Disney tune. Whenever, wherever it is used.
