Pinocchio is the soundtrack to the 1940 Walt Disney film of the same name, first released on February 9, 1940. The album was described as being "recorded from the original soundtrack of the Walt Disney Production Pinocchio". According to Walt Disney Records, "this is the first time the phrase 'original soundtrack' was used to refer to a commercially available movie recording."[1]

The soundtrack won an Academy Award for Best Original Score, and the song "When You Wish Upon A Star" won the 1940 Academy Award for Best Original Song and has become Disney's official anthem.
