Not very politically correct but who cares!
I do own two copies of Pinocchio before this DVD, one beta tape (remeber beta?) and one laserdisc. This current release appears to be the same digitally-cleaned-up version that was released as the last laserdisc version (there were two - one older nastier picture and a new cleaned-up one). I don't think I need to say much about the story. I guess folks of today should think of what the world was like then. And you can always decide what you want your children to see so it's all up to you. It's a case of old world, old value and new world, new fashion.The case stated that this was a theatrical aspect ratio which is probably right. The last laserdisc release was the same and I haven't seen a widescreen release of this one. A nice touch is the French credits when you select French soundtrack. Just be careful about the copy you get. The store I got it from had six defective discs out of ten they received. My first copy refused to play but I managed to push menu button on the remote and got in anyhow. And lo and behold, the film on there was The Prince of Egypt!!!! Hmmmm interesting.
