Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

This musical adaptation of Pinocchio from 1976 features the incomparable talents of Danny Kaye, Sandy Duncan, Flip Wilson, and Clive Revill. Framed by the story of a young theater girl's desire to study and work apart from her father, the story of Pinocchio is presented as a subplay with the young girl as Pinocchio (Sandy Duncan) and her father as Geppetto (Danny Kaye). The famous Carlo Collodi story of a lonely woodcutter whose marionette comes to life is presented faithfully and engagingly. The costumes are bright and fun, and the sets are suitably simple. The music, which features many Billy Barnes songs, showcases everything from big Broadway sounds to some truly beautiful ballads. Add to that lots of energetic dancing choreographed by Ron Field, and the result is a compelling performance by Kaye, Duncan, and the rest of the cast. --Tami Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars creates great childhood memories!, August 15, 2004
By D. Smith "dlsmith411" (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I saw this movie as a child so many times I wore out not one, but two VHS tapes! I am so excited to finally own this musical on DVD because it is a favorite of mine and my brothers growing up. The colors and music in this video stayed with me for a dozen years.. I can still remember all the songs from my favorite kiddie movie! This is definitely a must for anyone with kids. It's a different twist on the classic Pinocchio, with real actors and plots twists for older kids and adults to enjoy. Like I said, a must see! Don't pass this up!
