Since its founding on June 22, 1970, Walt Disney Archives has housed numerous artifacts and memorabilia from Disney projects. Within its walls, archivists collect, preserve, and prepare some for exhibition.
We see all of this, and more than a few Easter eggs, in an almost five-minute clip largely shown from the point of view of an artifact: a tiny figurine of Pinocchio.
The video’s summary describes what we see as we follow the puppet who turned into a boy:
From a bustling research room to a treasure-filled storage facility, our plucky hero journeys through the storied spaces where Disney history is collected and preserved. But when the item reaches a formidable digital preservation lab, chaos erupts—sparking a wild chase through the Archives’ cavernous warehouses. At last, the object finds its rightful place: a new home where it will be protected and celebrated—and be reunited with a long-lost friend.
Is this video a little cheesy? Yes! Is it also kind of cute? Also yes! There are an innumerable number of worse ways to spend five minutes, so go ahead and give the video a watch. As the quote from Walt reminds us at the end, “I hope we never lose some of the things from the past.” This Pinocchio figurine is one of those things.
