Specialist note


Based on the children’s novel by Italian author Carlo Collodi, the animated feature film Pinocchio was released on February 7, 1940 by Walt Disney Productions. Pinocchio was the second animated feature film produced by the firm, following the major success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937. This Pinocchio charm bracelet by Cartier dates back to the early 1940s when the film was first released. These Cartier charm bracelets commemorated the release of the film and in the original program for the premiere at Center Theatre at Radio City, they were prominently advertised.
