What's a Disney Historian? J.B. Kaufman Talks Pinocchio | NOT-SO SMALL WORLD

EPISODE FOUR. After the success of Snow White, PINOCCHIO (1940) gave the Disney Studio almost limitless room to experiment and grow. We give our thoughts on both the making and end results of this classic film.
We also talk with film historian J.B. Kaufman about the process of documenting animation history, why Disney films aren't just for kiddies, and what it was like to show Pinocchio to his grandkid for the first time.
