This Disney masterpiece from 1940 will hold up forever precisely because it doesn't restrain or temper the most elemental emotions 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
Description
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.

My parents took us to see this at the local drive-in when I was 5 years old. I will never forget how much I enjoyed it. I was entranced throughout. The next day I spent 90 minutes explaining the entire movie scene by scene to the neighbor lady hehe. I think it was my favorite movie ever when I was a kid. I need to see it again, nearly 40 years later and travel back in time. I'm sure I will enjoy it just as much. But I am surprised at some reviewers calling it inappropriate for kids lol that is just plain dumb.
 Pinnochio January 21, 2008

I'm a grandmother and watching the video took me back to my childhood days. I bought Pinnochio for my four year old grandson--the animation is old technology--not of the quality young children have come to expect... it frightened him and did not hold his interest. I do not recommend it for small children...

I love Pinocchio when he lies. His nose grew and grew longer and sure gives me an idea how creative author has. It's original powerful animation that Walt Disney has to present. Also I must add when Pinocchio asking the creator Why, Why, and Why and suddenly I asked my parents why Pinocchio asking Why's. A perfect family animation film.
