Product Description

This Disney masterpiece from 1940 will hold up forever precisely because it doesn't restrain or temper the most elementalemotions and themes germane to its story. Based on the Collodi tale about a wooden puppet who wants to become a real boy, Pinocchio is among the most magical, mythical, and frightening films to come from the studio in its long history. A number of scenes make permanent impressions on young minds (just ask Steven Spielberg, who quoted the film more than once in Close Encounters of the Third Kind), and the songs ("When You Wish upon a Star") can't be beat. --Tom Keogh

5 out of 5 stars Charming!   November 17, 2009
Benjamin D. Iocco
I remember watching this movie as a young lad. As all of Disney's early films, it "enchanted" me. I purchased this film and watched it again just recently and happily found it just as good if not better then I remembered it as a child. This story has very strong moral values about being honest and telling the truth and the consequences we will face if we choose to do whats wrong. With beautiful animation from the "golden days" of Disney, this classic tale will charm and warm your heart for year's to come!


4 out of 5 stars BD-live features mostly worthless   November 16, 2009
David B. Spalding (ChromeJob.com)
I explored the BD-live feature for the first time last night, and most of the functions require registration on Disney's site. On Disney's site an FAQ asserts that those features are being discontinued, and account creation is no longer possible. WTH? This disc was only released 8 months ago, and the much-heralded BD-Live features that personalize your disc and experience are already outdated.

For what it's worth, I just bought UP (released last week), and the BD-Live features from Disney appear to be nothing but downloading trailers for other films ... four of them. My verdict on Disney BD-Live => total waste of time.

A brilliant film for the time it was made. A milestone film for its time.


5 out of 5 stars Best bonus material !   October 8, 2009
Thomas Desimone (palm springs CA)
Although this film is a classic and one of my favorites, I particularly loved the bonus material included in this package. The "deleted scenes" the "alternate ending" and other material make this a well-worth purchase for any film buff or persons interested in Disney and animation. It's one of the best from that golden age of classics and still holds up against the newer computer generated disappointments out there these days.


5 out of 5 stars Pinocchio 70th Anniversary DVD   October 7, 2009
Glenn Y. Oshima (Torrance, CA United States)

It has been over 20 years since I saw this movie in a theater and I was anxious to see how the visuals and storyline on DVD compared to my memories of it back then. It did not disappoint.

The rich colors and clarity of the movie are impressive. By having the opportunity to watch the movie on a DVD media, I was able to better appreciate the detail and effort contributed by the artists in the creation of the movie.

The added feature "Making of Pinocchio" gives a look at some of the people who helped contribute to the artwork, character voices, and musical scores.

Despite the computer driven technical advancements made in animation features, Pinocchio still retains its high position of excellence.
