Out with the Old

 This weekend, I'll switch out the fall tree for Christmas. 

Pinocchio Movie

 Here's a quick post on a new film about the most famous puppet in history.  Pinocchio by Guillermo de Toro is done in animation that makes the marionettes look like live wood. Other marionettes and puppets are also featured. It's a beautiful movie, and I hope real dolls and puppets will populate store shelves.
