But as we mark the 85th anniversary of this timeless classic, we can’t help but marvel at the legacy Pinocchio has left behind.

Decades after the film’s release, Pinocchio lives on in our hearts — AND inside the Disney Parks!

While Pinocchio meets with guests most days at Disneyland Paris, this classic Disney character is PRETTY tough to find at Disney World and Disneyland these days.
Fortunately, you can still catch him at Magic Kingdom‘s Festival of Fantasy parade, and in Fantasmic! over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Meanwhile, the film’s legacy is going strong over at Magic Kingdom, where you can dine at Pinocchio Village Haus.

Meanwhile, you can also watch the Blue Fairy fly over Sleeping Beauty Castle during Disneyland’s Wondrous Journeys nighttime spectacular, which will return on May 16th as part of Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary celebration.
