Like many pre-widescreen Disney movies, Pinocchio offers the option to view it with DisneyView. This provides subtle, appropriate art in the black space on the side of the 1. It acts as a form of screen saver if you worry about burn-in and offers a pleasant option. A text commentary also appears. This becomes an average compilation at best. The video just shows movie clips and general lip-synching from Martin. This basically acts as an alternate form of chapter menu.
The flick shows up in a small box in the upper middle of the screen. With that we move to all the components on Disc Two. The game demands you find the piece that matches specified slots, and once you finish each puzzle, you see the corresponding scene from the movie.
The biggest component comes from a minute, one-second documentary called No String Attached: The Making of Pinocchio. Like most Disney projects, this one comes with a heavy helping of praise for the film involved. We get good notes about various aspects of the flick and learn a lot along the way in this informative piece.
Three Deleted Scenes last a total of 10 minutes, 32 seconds. That includes a second introduction. None of these provide final — or even rough — animation. Instead, we find storyboards and concept art embellished with audio. The actual ending seems more satisfying We also receive a Deleted Song.
The performance here comes from a rough period recording; it sounds like an acetate, not a released record, but I could be wrong. A few featurettes follow. The featurette gives us a nice look at this then-innovative — and still used - behind the scenes side of the filmmaking process.
The show looks at the past, present and future of puppets and subsequent kinds of toys. Occasionally it degenerates into an ad for Disney toys, but the piece provides a decent overview of the way these products have evolved over the years. For the final featurette, we get the Live-Action Reference Footage. It runs nine minutes, 55 seconds and presents silent footage of film made to give the animators ideas. A narrator gives us details about what we watch.

Improve this answer. In May , Disney pleased fans when it announced plans to accelerate the timeframe for the release of the DVDs in the Platinum Edition lineup, the top-selling titles in their animated classics library.
Previously, only one of these feature-packed double-disc sets would be released per year, but beginning in , the number per year will be upped to two one in March and one in the current October slot. In addition to the speedup, Disney added some new titles to the collection, including Pinocchio. After covering all of the original lineup and two of the additions, the studio will finally get to Pinocchio in March when it releases a 70th Anniversary Platinum Edition on DVD and Blu-ray.
Audio: What's all that noisy racket? Sound and music always play a very important part in Disney animated classics, and Pinocchio is no exception. It includes great sound effects, a very strong score, and some of the best songs ever written, the most widely known being " When You Wish Upon A Star. A French dub is also included as an alternate audio track.
Although I don't have a fancy sound system of any kind, from what I heard, this sounds very solid and clear with no distortion, and there was never any point where I had trouble hearing or understanding the mix.
Even without the extra oomph that a 5. So all in all, no complaints can be had with this exellent audio presentation. Extras, Extras! Read all about it!
Ah, extras. This is where Disney's current release of Pinocchio fails to deliver the goods as it does on all other points. Despite the inclusion of a very brief making-of featurette on the VHS tape reissue that was released day and date with the Limited Issue DVD, nothing of the sort can be found here. This is a nice inclusion for the fans and is especially interesting because it's so different from how movies are marketed now.
Video quality is average, though grainy. It was obviously taken from the original print, and wasn't reconstructed from the restored footage. Sadly, that's all that Disney saw fit with bothering to include on the DVD release of one of its most marvelous animated classics. But they did at least throw in a good laugh free of charge. If you need some quick humor, look no further than the back cover, which lists "full-color character artwork on disc" as a special feature.
That's right, folks, the label on the top side of the disc that we all thought was standard is really a special feature. I don't know about you, but they could've fooled me. We should really thank Disney for alerting us to this fact, so that we can appreciate the artwork as a special bonus for this release.
I had no idea it was so special, personally. I thought it was normal for most DVDs to have artwork. But I suppose not. I should find out who designed the disc artwork, call him, and thank him for producing such a detailed, exquisite portrait of Geppetto painting the puppet Pinocchio so that it could be included on the DVD for us all.
It's such a privilege to own this wonderful piece of artwork. If I didn't have to save the disc so I could watch the movie, I would frame it just so I could wake up every morning and see this amazing piece of art on my wall, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. I think I speak for the entire world when I say that this is the finest piece of artwork ever produced.
It truly deserves to hang on the wall right next to the Mona Lisa. Let's all wish upon a star that the Platinum Edition is much better as it should and will be and finally gives this wonderful, timeless movie its due share of meaty, entertaining, and informative extras on DVD.
