One of the very first Disney movies I ever watched was Pinocchio. Pinocchio is such a classic and timeless story. As a little girl I loved that little puppet Pinocchio who so desperately wanted to be a real boy. I loved dancing with him as he sang “No Strings.” Pinocchio is considered one of the greatest animated films ever made and won two Academy Awards® for best original score and best original song “When You Wish Upon a Star.” Now that Disney’s Pinocchio is available as a signature collection Blu-ray I have loved sharing this movie with my kids.
Pinocchio is full of so many fun and unforgettable characters. The sweet wood-carver Geppetto’s loved little puppet is on a mission to become a real boy! It is such a great story about being brave, finding good friends, being honest, and love.
Neither of my kids had ever seen Pinocchio before and they have fallen in love with it just like I did. My oldest Hayden loves the adventure that Pinocchio is on, and Halli has asked for me to sing her “When You Wish Upon a Star,” every night at bed time. She also loves Pinocchio’s little friend Jimmy Cricket.

My kids really enjoyed the bonus feature Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in “Poor Papa.” It is such a cute and hilarious little movie. They giggle all the way through it. I love the “In Walt’s Words” bonus feature because I think Walt Disney so fascinating! I love hearing his interviews and learning more about him.
