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 actually 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 more delay.
HARRY KNOWLES, AINTITCOOL.COM
An absolute must for animation lovers!
This Disney masterpiece from 1940 will hold up eternally 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 turn out to be a real boy, Pinocchio is one of the most magical, mythical, and frightening films to come from the studio in its long history. Various 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
