Since I'm currently waiting for a new Blu-ray player to arrive, all I could review was the single DVD of Pinocchio. Fortunately, even this is chock full of goodies. Any time Disney takes one of its timeless classics out of the vaults, restores it, and re-releases it for a limited time period is quite simply the time to rush out and grab the the best version you can afford.
