Pinocchio Day 2024 (US): Annually, Pinocchio Day is observed on February 23. The day signifies the forty-first anniversary of the theatrical debut of the Disney film bearing the same name. Disney’s “Pinocchio” achieved worldwide acclaim owing to its historical resonance as a European folk tale. Carlo Collodi’s 1883 Italian novel “The Adventures of Pinocchio” served as its inspiration. Following “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” the studio produced “Pinocchio,” its second animated feature-length film. The film chronicles the transformation of a puppet named Pinocchio into a human child.
The History of Pinocchio Day
Originally published in a weekly magazine as “The Story of a Puppet” in serial form beginning on July 7, 1881, “The Adventures of Pinocchio” was otherwise titled. As a result of the series’ immense popularity, each installment was collected and published as a novel in 1883. After that time, the antics of Pinocchio have become profoundly imbued within the cultural zeitgeist. Presently, the book is regarded as a canonical work of children’s literature. Pinocchio has since been the subject of numerous works of popular fiction, both in appearance and in reference.
“Pinocchio” was the third attempt by Disney to film an adaptation of the tale of the wooden marionette. After “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” was published in 1937, this was the studio’s subsequent animated feature-length film. The fable revolves around the titular character, Pinocchio, whom an Italian carpenter named Geppetto animates from wood. During the course of the film, Pinocchio endeavors to mature into a mature child by demonstrating his courage, honesty, and altruism. Throughout this mission, he encounters numerous unscrupulous individuals under the guidance of Jiminy Cricket. The film explores maturation, social conformity, morality, and discipline.
The film was met with acclaim following its initial release. Best Original Score and Best Original Song were among its two Academy Awards. This marks the first victory in either category for a Disney film. “Pinocchio” debuted on July 16, 1985, for home viewing in North America, and quickly became the year’s best-selling home video title. In 1988, it was released on VHS in the United Kingdom.
