The
70th
anniversary
double
DVD
release
of this
classic
Disney
production
is still
an amazing
work
of art
and
entertainment.
Based
on an
Italian
serial,
the
Disney
team
took
the
basics
and
created
their
own
wonderful
rendition
of this
sweet
(and
also
dark)
tale
of a
lonely,
childless
toymaker
whose
wish
for
a puppet
to become
a real
boy
is granted
by a
fairy
(when
he wishes
upon
a star,
of course
- this
is also
where
the
famous
and
timeless
song
originated
and
became
the
signature
logo
theme
of Disney
Studios).
But
for
Pinocchio
to become
a real
boy,
he would
have
to prove
himself
truthful
and
brave,
the
narrator
Jiminy
Cricket
appointed
as his
official
conscience.
This
second
Disney
feature
(following
Snow
White)
was
not
such
a big
financial
success
mainly
due
to WWII,
but
has
been
marked
as one
of the
studio's
most
accomplished
productions,
even
by today's
digital
standards.
Everything
from
the
story,
animation
and
music,
to the
sentiment
and
moral
combines
into
an amazing
unforgettable
piece
of work,
still
as effective
and
engrossing
after
seven
decades.
The
meticulous
detail
given
each
character,
the
backgrounds
and
peripheral
action
is what
set
these
Disney
movies
apart
from
the
smaller
cartoon
shorts
people
had
grown
accustomed
to,
making
them
fully
fledged
feature
films
that
can
stand
up up
next
to any
live
action
movie.
This
double
disc
Platinum
Edition
includes
a range
of extras.
The
newly
cleaned
up digitally
remastered
version
is now
available
in the
best
audio
and
visual
quality
to date.
Many
behind-the-scenes
aspects
and
interviews
with
animators
and
film
historians
are
included,
as well
as an
in-depth
making-of,
and
a glimpse
at the
screening
room
scenario
during
production.
You
also
a look
at modern-day
toy
makers
(from
the
traditional
to the
futuristic),
and
get
to see
rare
deleted
scenes,
partake
in activities
and
games,
and
there's
even
a new
music
video
for
"When
You
Wish
Upon
A Star"
by Meaghan
Jette
Martin.
