DAVE KEHR, NEW YORK TIMES
“The new “Pinocchio” looks magnificent, with a richness of color and a tight definition that evoke the theatrical experience.”

CHRIS NASHAWATY, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
“You won't find a sweeter story or a tidier morality tale about the virtues of being ''brave, truthful, and unselfish.'' Grown-ups will eat up the commentaries and featurettes about Disney's band of merry-prankster animators, and kids can spend hours with the disc's interactive puzzles and Pop-Up Video-style factoids. You really couldn't ask for more.”

KENNETH BROWN, BLU-RAY.COM
“Simply put, the 3-disc Blu-ray edition of Pinocchio should already have a comfortable home on every true filmfan's shelves. Buy it without any further delay.”

HARRY KNOWLES, AINTITCOOL.COM
“An absolute must for animation lovers!”

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

Pinocchio (5.0)

This sure brought back memories of my childhood...we would gather around TV and have waffle sundaes when Walt Disney shows comes on Sunday. It sure is to watch these as the morals and lessons are good for kids and adults as well. It is also a clean story.

Pinocchio is an AWESOME movie (5.0)

I loved the movie Pinocchio since when I was 7 and I still love this movie. Pinocchio is my favorite character in this film. I hate Honest John he is evil. Geppetto shold've told Pinocchio not to talk to strangers. Pinocchio changed his mind that he doesn't want to be an actor and decides to listen to his father.
I totally recommend this film any Classic Disney fan. Pinocchio and Bambi are my top favorite disney classics.

Excellent (5.0)

I ordered this video for my granddaughter. It came in perfect condition and on time. I am very pleased with Amazon.

Exactly what it says (5.0)

For those who know the movie: This product is exactly what it says with no tricks or gimmicks. The DVD works on our very old DVD player.

For those who don't know the movie: You and your children will love this movie. However, if your children are very young, you might want to see it first. It's from 1939, when animation wasn't just for kids, and so some parents may find a lot of objectionable material. For what it's worth, I had this movie memorized by the time I entered pre-school and I don't think I was negatively influenced. A classic: everyone should see it, and most people should own it.
