  • Release dates :
    France - May 22, 1946 (1st dubbing)
    France - December 10, 1975 (2nd dubbing)
    The first French dub, made in the 40s, was produced in New York, due to the war raging in Europe.​
    It was the first animated feature to be released after the war.
  • The original French title of the movie was « La Merveilleuse Aventure de Pinocchio » (= ' The Wonderful Adventure of Pinocchio '), but this title was abandoned in the re-issues.
  • In the first dubbing, there are two different versions of the Opening and Ending credits' songs :
    One sang by an unknown singer and with an English choir, used in 1946. This version was used by mistake in the BLU-RAY, with the 1975 dubbing.
    A second version sang by Jean Lumière and a French choir, used later until the 1975 redubbing.
  • The second dubbing was retouched three times successively, to correct the original name of Jiminy Grillon (= Cricket in French) in Jiminy Cricket as the original, and because of sentences judged too colloquial for kids.​
