Now a part of the celebrated Walt Disney Signature Collection, the timeless story of PINOCCHIO inspires a new generation with its masterful animation, award-winning music, unforgettable characters and exclusive, all-new behind-the-scenes Bonus Extras!

I remember seeing Pinocchio as a young child. The characters and the story really spoke to me. Jiminy Cricket was so wise. Figaro the cat was just so cute. Pinocchio wanted to be a boy like any other. Gepetto’s love for Pinocchio touched my heart because of its depth. It’s a movie I both thoroughly enjoyed as well as cried during. This newly released blu-ray edition brings an old favorite home for folks like me that remember the movie from their childhood. And, it introduces the movie to newer children from more recent generations, extending the life of a classic. This movie is a must have for anyone that enjoys animation, Disney movies, or remembers the movie from yesteryear.
