 Pinocchio (1940 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pinocchio was not commercially successful when first released, and Disney only recouped about half of its $2.3 million budget, which was due in part to poor timing, with the cut-off of European markets, due to World War II.

Pinocchio, Geppetto, and Jiminy Cricket, as well as most of the other Pinocchio characters, appear as regular guest stars on Disney's House of Mouse.

 Pinocchio (1940)
The menace of Stromboli and he states Pinocchio's ultimate fate when he's worn out works well, but the scenes in which the boys are turned into donkeys are truly frightening.
Pinocchio looks marvelous for such an old film, but some roughness to the image keeps it from reaching the stellar levels of quality achieved by some of the other Disney offerings.
All in all, Pinocchio really looks quite good, and if I'd watched it independent of viewings of Lady and the Tramp and 101 Dalmatians, I might have thought it appeared even better, but the smoothness and clarity of those images makes Pinocchio's roughness seem more evident than it otherwise might.

 Pinocchio Movie Review at Hollywood Video
Disney's first wave of DVD releases is something of a disappointment, in that the company that expanded our imaginations with movies like Fantasia and raised our expectations with glimpses into an EPCOT-like future has delivered a set of remarkably stripped-down DVDs.
Pinocchio itself was only the third feature-length animated film to reach audiences (preceded by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Gulliver's Travels), and the genre had yet to be fully embraced by the public.
Then again, watching these movies again on DVD made me remember why they are so treasured by audiences around the world: These are movies that are made to be enjoyed time and time again, something that no featurette, no director commentary, and no theatrical trailer could ever hope to surpass.

 :: View topic - Was there a non-disney Pinocchio movie?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Only other non-Diz Pinocchio I can recall was "Pinocchio in Outer Space" (which used to air on TV a lot during the holiday seasons of the 70's).
There was an animated movie, actually I believe there was more than one produced by filmation in the 80s.
The only non-Disney animated movie that springs to mind is "Pinnochio and the Emperor of the Night." I remember this movie because when he arrives at that movie's version of Pleasure Island (can't recall what they named it) there were a lot of bright, neon lights--it had a very trippy look to it.
