Storyline
Inventor Gepetto creates a wooden marionette called Pinocchio. His wish for Pinocchio to be a real boy is unexpectedly granted by a fairy. The fairy assigns Jiminy Cricket to act as Pinocchio's "conscience" and keep him out of trouble. Jiminy is not too successful in this endeavor and most of the film is spent with Pinocchio deep in trouble. —Tim Pickett <quetzal@yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au>

Did you know
- TriviaFigaro was Walt Disney's favorite character in "Pinocchio" from 1940. Disney pushed for the kitten to appear in the film as much as possible. After the film, Disney swapped Minnie Mouse's pekingese Fifi with Figaro, starting with the Figaro Cartoon "First Aiders (1944)" from 1944. Figaro also got his own series of "Figaro" Cartoons beginning with "Figaro and Cleo (1943)" in 1943, he would have four Cartoons of his own, two appearances in the "Pluto" Cartoon series, as well as appearing in the promotional animated wartime short "All Together (1942)" from 1942, for a total of seven Cartoon appearances and one feature film "Pinocchio" from 1940, which makes eight appearances of Figaro over all.
- GoofsWhen Pinocchio plays with the candle he burns his left hand, but Geppetto puts Pinocchio's right hand into the water.

The Blue Fairy: A lie keeps growing and growing until it's as plain as the nose on your face.
- Crazy creditsNone of the actors in this film are credited.
- Alternate versionsThe 1954 re-release marked the last time the film was distributed by RKO. After that, it was replaced by the logo for Buena Vista Distribution Co. (Disney's in-house distribution arm). The 1993 VHS release and 1999 DVD features the Buena Vista logo. However, the overseas DVD release in 2003, the Platinum Edition DVD and Blu-ray releases in 2009 and the Walt Disney Signature Collection DVD and Blu-ray releases in 2017 restored the original RKO logo. But both versions include reissue credits, as reference to Technicolor should have read "in Technicolor" but not just "Technicolor".

A Very Memorable Childhood Film
A very wonderful film - one I remembered from my childhood (but then again so are most of the classic Disney films). Pinocchio is a type of film the entire family can love. Nothing offensive about this motion picture, quite the contrary there are good lessons to be learned from Pinocchio. Pinocchio learns what it takes to be a good *human*. So the film is good for young kids.
This movie also contains another one of Walt Disney's most memorable songs: When You Wish Upon A Star sung by Cliff Edwards.
If you like Disney movies like "Peter Pan" or "Peter and the Wolf" then you might like Pinocchio.
8.5/10
