Not one of my favorite Disney movies but still enjoyable. I collect Disney movies so I bought this as part of that. I watched it after years of never watching it. It is a decent Disney but not a favorite. Nice that is was brought of the vault!

I always enjoyed Disney's version of Pinocchio, especially the music. It never looked or sounded better than in this blu-ray version.

I just finished seeing Pinocchio on Blu-Ray, and I am amazed. This movie is older than Citizen Kane, but it looks like a dream. I understand some people have claimed the colors have been tampered with. It is true that there was a sepia tone to the VHS and previous DVD, that is now gone. Whether that sepia tone was truly the original look of the film, I am not old enough or knowledgeable enough to say. What I do know is that the movie looks fantastic on Blu-Ray, as if it was made yesterday (though hand-drawn animation of this quality is rare these days), and I commend Disney on that.
Of course, I would not be giving a Blu-Ray five stars simply for the image quality. Many claim that Pinocchio is one of Disney's best feature films, if not the best. Unfortunately, I haven't seen many Disney feature films since the '90s when I was a kid, so I can't really compare Pinocchio to anything but fuzzy memories. But I did greatly enjoy Pinocchio. The animation is unbelievable, and the hand-painted backgrounds look wonderful. The characters are hilarious and charming. The story is of course the classic Pinocchio story based on the 1883 novel, a kind of dark morality tale, really, what with the child slavery element.
This is a perfect movie for kids, but adults should definitely watch it as well. The animation is both technically and artistically exquisite, and the movie as a whole has a charm to it that is truly special.
