324 THE TALKING PICTURE Early in 1940 came Pinocchio, Walt Disney's first full-length feature since Snow; White. Though the story of the puppet who became a boy lacked the sentimental appeal of the previous picture, it had plenty of comedy and excitement and pictorial beauty. Technically, it carried animation to a new height of perfection. Here are four of the chief personages of the picture: Figaro, the kitten; Cleo, the amorous goldfish; Jiminy Cricket, who acted as Pinocchio's conscience; and Pinocchio himself. Notice Pinocchio's hand. Like most Disney characters, human beings alone excepted, it has only three fingers and a thumb. BELOW Cary Grant and Irene Dunne followed their hilarious The Awful Truth with another successful comedy, My Favorite Wife. In this scene are Ann Shoemaker, Miss Dunne, and Grant.
