Good afternoon! This day in Disney history Feb. 23rd, 1940. "Pinocchio" (based on the 19th century book by Carlo Collodi) Is generally released. Filmed in multiplane technicolor, It has cost a staggering $2.6 million to make. Disney only recouped about half of its budget. This film is felt by many film historians to be the most technically perfect of all the Disney animated features. Have you seen this film? What is your favorite part?

Such a great classic! I also think that the attraction tells the story well. When he becomes a real boy, he is so darling. - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint  1798.9 #42 1:38PM
Oh, I also like the scene with all the clocks - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint  1798.9 #42 1:48PM
My kiddos love this attraction at the parks as well! Good choice on a favorite part churro! ✨ - Duchess_SMK  3290.7 #11 1:49PM
This is absolutely a classic (as Churro rightly stated)! Also might I add that this film received 2 oscars: Best Original Score and Best Original Song for the world famous song, "When You Wish Upon a Star" I always loved this movie from early childhood. I did not know this was considered to be the "most technically perfect film" but I can see why. For its time, the animation is genius.. blending mechanical and human behavior perfectly. Even the animals are drawn with such accuaracy.. .if you watch Figaro, Geppetto's cat, see how soft and gently the movements are and try to remember... this is just a drawing... I bet you can't. My favorite part is when the Blue Fairy comes. I have such a crush on her! Thank you SMK for this all time classic Disney History and for sharing a movie we all love! - MyPark  944.1 #91 3:02PM

I was always scared of this as a kid but I love Figaro and Cleo! - Princess Daisy  156.7 #2198 1:40PM
Teehee, there are quite a few scary parts! My littlest loves figaro too! - Duchess_SMK  3290.7 #11 2:24PM
Such a great description of Pinocchio! It would be awesome if they had the Blue Fairy character come out with Pinocchio at Disneyland. - kss4tink  216.8 #1396 3:06PM
Ooops, this was meant as a reply under MyPark's comment. - kss4tink  216.8 #1396 3:26PM
😳 I'm confused with the date but, this is probably my favorite Disney movie. And my favorite part is when Stromboli finds a washer in his stack of coins, bites it and cusses up a storm (which is not in Italian). Then he gently and politely offers it to Pinocchio and Pinocchio happily accepts it. - Philliprocks  276.6 #762 4:33PM
