The Timeless Tale of PINOCCHIO
Arrives to the Walt Disney Signature Collection
January 31, 2017
The animation of Pinocchio is considered one of the best – and most sophisticated – ever done at the Disney’s Studios. Walt Disney himself took a huge part in directing the process of the story and animation. This Disney animation was characterized as “Extravagance of the range of ideas and the tightness of the story” by the historian J.B. Kaufman.
Watch this historical footage of creating a Boobyland, which later became a Pleasure Island in the Pinocchio movie.
Here are the Bonus materials in this Blu-ray DVD edition.

Kaufman as they explore artwork recently discovered in Disney’s animation research library revealing some of the attractions, gags and games, which Disney animators created for this iconic location of the film, that never made it on screen.
