Alternate versions

The 1954 re-release marked the last time the film was distributed by RKO. After that, it was replaced by the logo for Buena Vista Distribution Co. (Disney's in-house distribution arm). The original 1985/1986 home video release hides the original RKO logo. The 1993 VHS release and 1999 DVD features the Buena Vista logo. Its original RKO logo's fanfare was restored in the 1993/1999/2000 home video releases. However, the 2003 UK DVD release, the 2009 Platinum Edition and current releases restored the original RKO logo, but they include reissue credits, as reference to Technicolor should have read "in Technicolor" but not just "Technicolor", and the current 2006 Walt Disney Pictures logo only appears at the end of the film.

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, Pinoke!" 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.
