Rare Showing of Original Pinocchio Art and New 'Disney View' Panels Painted for the Blu-ray Widescreen Format by Animation Artist Toby Bluth

LOS ANGELES, March 3 /PRNewswire/ --

WHO: Toby Bluth, Disney animation artist WHAT: See rare original Pinocchio artwork from the Disney Animation Research Library in a gallery setting in honor of the March 10th Blu-ray and DVD release of Pinocchio: 70th Anniversary Platinum Edition. This live glimpse of the timeless art is a one-night-only occasion because of the delicate condition of the artwork. The original art housed and protected in the Animation Research Library which is not open to the public, is rarely available for public viewing. Be the first to see a display of the newly created 'Disney View' panels featured on the Pinocchio Blu-ray and meet panel artist Toby Bluth. Pinocchio, Walt Disney's second animated feature, debuted 70 years ago with vibrant hand drawn animation, universally loved music like the Academy Award(R) winning original song "When You Wish Upon a Star," and a touching story that made it an instant classic. Introducing audiences to the magical favorites of Pinocchio, Geppetto the puppet maker and the Blue Fairy, Pinocchio also marks the screen debut of a character who became one of Disney's signatures: the fast-talking, wisecracking Jiminy Cricket. Pinocchio: 70th Anniversary Platinum Edition will be released on Blu-ray and DVD March 10, 2009 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.
