Storyline
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 cartoon "First Aiders (1944)." Figaro also got his own series of "Figaro" cartoons beginning with "Figaro and Cleo (1943)." He would have four cartoons of his own, two appearances in the "Pluto" cartoon series, and also appear in the promotional animated wartime short "All Together (1942)," for a total of seven cartoon appearances. This, plus the one feature film "Pinocchio," makes eight appearances of Figaro overall.
- GoofsWhen Pinocchio plays with the candle he burns his left hand, but Geppetto puts Pinocchio's right hand into the water.
- Quotes
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".

Featured review
Tough To Beat These First Disney Efforts
When I - and I assume, most people - think of Pinocchio, we think of his nose growing longer when he tells a lie. Yet, that is only one scene in this movie - the first one ever done on this famous fictional character, I believe.
This is strictly a fantasy-adventure story, not a parable or a full story about lying, although that obviously is one of the messages. There are several moral messages in here, so it's a worthwhile story for kids to see.
Sometimes I think these totally-innocent first few Disney efforts (Bambi, Fantasia) are still better than all the stuff they have put out since.
The colorful scenes are another attraction. particularly in the beginning in the old man's house with all the fancy clocks and toys. That part is better than much of the adventure story, as it turns out. The story lags a bit in the middle and then picks up with a rousing finish with a big whale.
Overall, I enjoyed "Jiminy Cricket" the best and also appreciated that they didn't overdo the songs in here: short and sweet, and not that many. They don't make 'em (normally) like they used to!!
