Absolutely agree on Singin’ in the Rain, because it is the greatest of all time, period. Meet Me in St. Louis is also a great musical, a great movie.

Disagree on Pinocchio, although can’t say if it was the best that year. As I recall it was not really a big hit, rather a flop. I managed to see something of it again a while ago, and bottom line it is too long. Or at least the different segments are too long, or in some cases unnecessary.

2001 is a snooze fest I still can’t get through.

Walt Disney's "Pinocchio" made hash of Carlo Collodi's classic The Adventures of Pinocchio (Florence, Italy: Paggi, 1883), so I wouldn't have given it the Oscar. My choice for 1940 would be "Santa Fe Trail."
