Pinocchio (Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection) [VHS] Best Review

I just finished seeing Pinocchio on Blu-Ray, and I am amazed. This movie is older than Citizen Kane, but it looks like a dream. I understand some people have claimed the colors have been tampered with. It is true that there was a sepia tone to the VHS and previous DVD, that is now gone. Whether that sepia tone was truly the original look of the film, I am not old enough or knowledgeable enough to say. What I do know is that the movie looks fantastic on Blu-Ray, as if it was made yesterday (though hand-drawn animation of this quality is rare these days), and I commend Disney on that.

Of course, I would not be giving a Blu-Ray five stars simply for the image quality. Many claim that Pinocchio is one of Disney's best feature films, if not the best. Unfortunately, I haven't seen many Disney feature films since the '90s when I was a kid, so I can't really compare Pinocchio to anything but fuzzy memories. But I did greatly enjoy Pinocchio. The animation is unbelievable, and the hand-painted backgrounds look wonderful. The characters are hilarious and charming. The story is of course the classic Pinocchio story based on the 1883 novel, a kind of dark morality tale, really, what with the child slavery element.

This is a perfect movie for kids, but adults should definitely watch it as well. The animation is both technically and artistically exquisite, and the movie as a whole has a charm to it that is truly special.

Pinocchio (Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection) [VHS] Overview

Count the number of truly classic animated films and the list would begin with Walt Disney's PINOCCHIO. C. Collodi's brilliant story of a little puppet who dreams of being a real boy unfolds as a shining example of vivid, rich, detailed Disney animation at its finest! An unforgettable cast of characters includes the spry Jiminy Cricket; kindly old Geppetto; the sneaky J. Worthington Foulfellow; a terrifying whale named Monstro; and, of course, the little puppet made of wood, Pinocchio. Coupled with the haunting theme song "When You Wish Upon A Star," you have a timeless, unparalleled film adventure for anyone who has a dream in their heart.

Pinocchio (Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection) [VHS] Specifications

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

Disney Classic - Wendy Cucho -
I'm SO glad Disney is going through their classics and making the transfer to bluray. I love the story, characters, music, among many other things. Everyone should have this classic as part of their collection.



great classic Disney - R. C. Tapia - USA, MN
Not one of my favorite Disney movies but still enjoyable. I collect Disney movies so I bought this as part of that. I watched it after years of never watching it. It is a decent Disney but not a favorite. Nice that is was brought of the vault!



Disney's Pinocchio never looked better - Jarber3 - Salt Lake City, UT USA
I always enjoyed Disney's version of Pinocchio, especially the music. It never looked or sounded better than in this blu-ray version.
