Trivia
The pool hall at Pleasure Island is in the shape of a giant eight ball with a tall cue-shaped structure standing nearby. This is a neat takeoff on the Trylon and the Perisphere at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
Quotes
Jiminy Cricket:
Pretty, huh? I'll bet a lot of you folks don't believe that, about a wish comin' true, do ya? Well, I didn't, either. Of course, I'm just a cricket singing my way from hearth to hearth, but let me tell you what made me change my mind.
Goofs
The 12-ball on the pool table on Pleasure Island is first white with a dark blue stripe in the first and second shots of Lampwick. The camera then cuts to Pinocchio and back to Lampwick. The 12-ball is now solid dark blue. The 12-ball also keeps moving around on the table randomly without anybody hitting it.
Crazy Credits
The RKO logo is carved into a wood background.
Alternate Versions
The 2009 Platinum Edition DVD (English mono and 5.1) omits two single lines of dialog: Jiminy Cricket's reassuring "Right!" to Pinocchio's utterance of his name during the song "Give a Little Whistle", and the "look out, Pinocch'!" a minute later. Even the subtitles and captions omit this line as well. Past releases, and even the 2009 Platinum Blu-ray (mono and 7.1), have the lines intact. Both of these lines are also intact in the Walt Disney Signature Collection release.
