Summary: NO EXTRAS!!!
Review: This is really the pits. Disney could easily put a few little "extras" on these DVD releases, like "the making of...", interviews, etc. But all we get is the bare movie. This sucks. How much more could it cost to add these extras? Virtually every other DVD released nowadays has added features. Shame on you, Disney.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A film every President should embrace...
Review: A classic story retold through the vision of Walt Disney and his studio.Made at a time during this century when war had again broken in Europe and children there were shipped out of there homes by the thousands to safety of places all over the world.Truly a time of great morality and this film reflects those morals;The more you lie the deeper you get into trouble-as deep as the inside of a whale at the bottom of the ocean!One of the Disney Studio's most lavish and entertaining productions.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What kind of DVD is this?
Review: It looks more like a VHS transfer than an actual serious release. Where's widescreen? If you want to collect it since it will disappear, then go for it. Some day in the future Disney will re-release it again with all the goodies. Until then, this is Disney's chance to make back the money lost with Divx.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not very politically correct but who cares!
Review: I do own two copies of Pinocchio before this DVD, one beta tape (remeber beta?) and one laserdisc. This current release appears to be the same digitally-cleaned-up version that was released as the last laserdisc version (there were two - one older nastier picture and a new cleaned-up one). I don't think I need to say much about the story. I guess folks of today should think of what the world was like then. And you can always decide what you want your children to see so it's all up to you. It's a case of old world, old value and new world, new fashion.

The case stated that this was a theatrical aspect ratio which is probably right. The last laserdisc release was the same and I haven't seen a widescreen release of this one. A nice touch is the French credits when you select French soundtrack. Just be careful about the copy you get. The store I got it from had six defective discs out of ten they received. My first copy refused to play but I managed to push menu button on the remote and got in anyhow. And lo and behold, the film on there was The Prince of Egypt!!!! Hmmmm interesting.

Summary: what happened to spanish?
Review: I was so dissapointed to see that this title only comes in english and french. There is already a track in spanish. Why not add it to this DVD????

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Full screen???
Review: Was this movie originally full screen or is there a widescreen version of this film? I feel like I'm not seeing the entire animation....?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This shouldn't be shown to children
Review: As a child I grew up loving Pinocchio. I loved the story and the movie. But as an adult I have had time to reevaluate this story and it's effect on our children. This movie contains too much violence and way too much fantasy for our children to handle. With all of it's fluff and happy themes, how can you show this to our children when there is so much suffering in the world? I think its grossly unfair to the children of other countries who are dying of starvation or war for our own children to enjoy something so blatently moralizing. I believe that there are some religious undertones in the story as well that should have been kept in check. Please, for our children's sake and future, avoid this harmful film.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disapointing to see a half-a@# job done on the DVD version.
Review: I love Pinocchio. I was so excited to hear it was being released on DVD. Heck, I was happy just to hear any classic Disney animation was going to be finally released on DVD. However, what disappoints me is that this DVD seems to be thrown together without any extra effort put in it to make it special. The DVD version is not in widescreen (like the laserdisk versions are) and it is missing "the making of" that is found on the VHS version. Why are these things missing and why are we paying more for the DVD version without any of the extras practically found on all other DVDs?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best of the Many Great Disney Animated Films
Review: What a film! Fabulous animation, good music, an insightful plot that will entertain, as well as educate the children that watch it, make this the best animated feature of all time. Perhaps a little intense for small children, but little else negative can be said about it. Before you send the kids off to watch the brainless garbage Disney loves to turn out today, give them this classic that shows the immortal Walt Disney in his prime. You'll love it so much, you might just start babbling on and on about it like me.............

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Childhood Classic and A Must For All !!
Review: How can you go wrong with this childhood classic by Disney! This was truly one of thee best animated movies ever produced. It is truly top notch compared to the animated features we have today. I think everyone young and old should own a copy!
