\u201cMy experience in the industry thus far has taught me the importance of always being loyal, honest and true \u2013 these are attributes that pertain to any industry, to all of us, at any age. Pinocchio demonstrates this lesson very clearly and sends a positive message to all who watch it,\u201d Guy says.<\/p>\n
