George Miller – Pinocchio (1940)
"Now, if you only know George Miller for directing the Mad Max movies, this probably doesn’t make any goddamn sense.
However, something a lot of people seem to have missed entirely is that Miller directed the Happy Feet films. Yes, the dancing penguin movies share the same director as a movie that features a flame-thrower guitar. Pinocchio is one of Miller’s childhood favorite films that he still studies to this day."
