I was just wondering if anybody else got the new Pinocchio DVD yet. I just got it from the Disney Movie Club. Boy , I love it. I forgot how awesome this Disney movie was.
My favorite characters have always been Pinocchio , Jimminy Criket, Figaro, and Lampwick.
I remember how when I was little I used to get upset and cry when Lampwick turned into a donkey . Even as I got older, I felt sorry for Lampwick. When I was a pre-teen â last time I saw it up until now â I remember having a crush on Lampwick. I still think heâs kinda cute when heâs still a boy.
The characters I always hated, which I still hate , are the Coachman, the Fox, the Evil Cat, and Strombolli. Man, they are Mean !!! Monstro the whale is really cool though.
Anybody else gotten it ? What are your childhood memories of Pinocchio ?
Unfortunately they could not, at least not without sacrificing huge parts of the image.
Sleeping Beauty was shot in 2.55:1 aspect ratio (which is almost as wide as it gets), whereas Pinocchio was shot in 1.37:1 (only a little bit wider than 4:3).
I cant say Iâve ever been into this movie. Iâve only seen it once, many years ago at school, so the whole plot kinda alludes me. I do like Jiminy Cricket as a character though
Yes, I have managed to purchase this (after a little trouble with a seller ) The picture quality is amazing!!! Disney are certainly great at restoring picture quality to the ultimate pristine viewing! Pinocchio, I say, is one of Disneyâs most magical films and it gets me every time. Monstro rules by the way!
One thing that annoys me in particular though with Disney, is how they keep on locking away their old classics in the vault . Itâs a must to get these films while you can! I was lucky enough to find Lion King inside an old shop and buy it for ÂŁ3.00!!! The person behind the counter wasnât to pleased with me .
That I find ESPECIALLY surprising, as it took Wall-E, which was released nearly 15 years later, to beat the sales of that movie (in the field of animation, of course).
Yeah, itâs all about Disneyâs policy about preserving the movies for children to view in years to come⊠Theyâve done the same with Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and Fantasia, plus a few others I canât remember right now. They are re-releasing Snow White in October (Iâm snapping that up right away!!!) along with Beauty and the Beast (again I have to get that) and Lion King again in one or two more years?
I suppose though, if they transferred a full frame film that old into widescreen, it would look, uh, donât know the word for it butâŠ
Awesome! Blu Ray sounds so amazing ⊠Looking at some pictures it does look so beautiful in high definition. Iâll just have to settle with my DVD, since there is no way Iâm going to get a Blu Ray player or a PS3 anytime soon. Although, the DVD does have a great picture, I just love how Blu Ray looks so shiny and sharp !
I just got the BD a few months ago, and itâs awesome! Why does it bother you guys that itâs not in widescreen? If youâre not going to watch it in its original format, then why watch it at all?
For films like Pinocchio and others that were done originally in full frame, then I donât mind at all because your seeing all you can see . As for other more up to date films that are in full screen, you lose part of the picture on either side. Oh, hereâs a picture I took of comparing my Bugs Life DVDâs widescreen and full frame:
Fullframe
Widescreen
What would you say is the better one . I say widescreen.

Monstro the whale is really cool though.
