Pinocchio, released by Walt Disney Productions on 07 February 1940, in New York City, was the studio's second animated feature film, following Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). Based on Carlo Collodi's 1883 Italian novel The Adventures of Pinocchio, the film tells the story of a wooden puppet brought to life by the Blue Fairy, who must prove himself brave, truthful, and unselfish to become a real boy. Directed by Ben Sharpsteen and Hamilton Luske, Pinocchio was groundbreaking for its detailed animation, expressive character designs, and innovative special effects, such as realistic water sequences.
Despite its artistic achievements and critical acclaim, the film initially struggled at the box office due to World War II limiting its international release. However, through multiple re-releases over the decades, Pinocchio became one of Disney’s most beloved classics. The film introduced the Academy Award-winning song "When You Wish Upon a Star," which became Disney’s signature tune. Today, Pinocchio is widely regarded as one of the greatest animated films of all time, praised for its storytelling, animation, and moral lessons.
