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

if you honestly, seriously, loved your kid, and wanted him to be safe and not expose him to innappropriate stuff, this should not be shown to him. This DVD/VHS is chock full of useless stupid nonsense that I never liked. I think that if you wanted to watch something educational, watch some presidential speech.. or rugrats.. none of these new age cartoons or old age cartoons such as this. ” i want to be a real boy “. Well, for one you can’t talk in real life, and, nobody loves you enough for oyu to be real. This video was never one of my favorites, but instead i’ve always hated it in heart. If I could put a penny on every stupid line said in this movie, I would be richer than mr.gates. This thing has horrible acting, unbelievable bad singing, and it hurts me to watch it.. knowing that people actually encourage kids to watch this. I for one think if blood and groteskness is innappropriate for their kids, this is much much worse. This and the little mermaid.. basically really all the older disney films. If you other people can recall, on the old L.M. VHS box, there was a ..Long… golden.. figure in the background of the castle. Remember? That just shows how uncalled for this is, and how all this money thats being made is going tot he wrong people….. over at disney..
Avoid this film, and L.M. at all costs!
Sincerely from the heart of,
Me.Alex.

While Pinocchio may be considered one of Disney’s classics, some of the scenes/content in this older animation would not be shown or considered appropriate in today’s children’s movies. Gepetto is shown smoking in bed. Many of the characters smoke. Young boys are brought — as a treat — to a place where they can smoke, “drink” (something frothy like beer or root beer), and act very destructively as much as they want. The boys are tricked into thinking this is a fun place to go but are turned into donkeys and sold to work in mines — never again to see their families. In the end, old Gepetto does get his wish. Pinocchio is a real boy. And old Gepetto gets to share his bed with the young boy. While all such scenes could be used for discussing appropriate behavior, I wouldn’t recommend showing this movie to children. I made the mistake of showing this to my 4 and 2 yr olds. This is one those films I won’t show over and over.

This certainly is not one of my favorite Disney movies. I just really didn’t get in to the movie I guess but then I never really cared for this Fairy Tale either.
The voice actors are good and the scenery, and colors are great. But for some reason this one really just didn’t hit home for me.

Don’t believe the item was authentic. Then when I contacted the vendor to return I never got a response. This was a gift and not only was I embarrassed I lost my money. This will make me hesitant to order from another vendor.
