Wonderful Disney classic but disappointing version (Pinocchio 1999 Gold Edition)
This was undoubtedly Disney's finest work, however the 1999 "Gold Edition" of Pinocchio is a disappointment. Not only was this transfer taken from unrestored film elements but they optically enlarged the picture to fill a 16:9 HD screen. By changing the original 1.33:1 aspect ratio to 1.85:1, they managed to cut off the top and bottom of the picture, resulting in a very grainy image.With no extras other than the original theatrical trailer, my question is: What qualifies this to be a "Gold Edition"? My advise is, pay a few extra dollars and get the newest edition, it's worth it.
