In the book, the character was simply known as the Talking Cricket, who had been living in Geppetto\u2019s house for more than 100 years. Early in the book, the cricket tells Pinocchio, \u201cYou are a puppet, and what\u2019s worse is that you have a head of wood.\u201d Pinocchio\u2019s response was rather harsh; he hurled a mallet at the cricket, killing it. The Talking Cricket\u2019s tale does have a happy ending of a sort, when his ghost is given a house by the Fairy with the Turquoise Hair (as the Blue Fairy was known in the book.)<\/li>\n<li>When Disney was developing <em>Pinocchio<\/em> for the big screen, one of the problems they faced was the characterization of Pinocchio himself. Early drafts of the script portrayed the puppet as being cruel at times, much as he was in the book. As Walt Disney himself said, \u201cOne difficulty\u2026is that people know the story, but they don\u2019t like the character.\u201d Walt eventually solved the problem by taking the minor cricket character, naming him Jiminy, and using him to develop the heart of the story, namely the friendship between him and Pinocchio.<\/li>\n<li>This was a rather late development in the story treatment, even by Disney standards. The character of Jiminy Cricket wasn\u2019t introduced until nine months into production.<\/li>\n<li>Jiminy was the first sidekick to have a starring role in another Disney animated feature film (without his main protagonist) when he appeared in 1947\u2019s<em> Fun and Fancy Free<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Jiminy was animated by one of Walt Disney\u2019s Nine Old Men, Ward Kimball. In early concept sketches, Jiminy was drawn in a realistic style. Kimball thought that the look was \u201cdisgusting,\u201d so he took a different approach and made him much more cartoonish (so much so that the only reason we know he\u2019s a cricket is because of his name!).<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of his name, Jiminy wasn\u2019t invented by Disney. At the time, \u201cJiminy Cricket\u201d was a polite euphemism for Jesus Christ. The expression was actually used (as an exclamation) in <em>Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Wizard of Oz,<\/em> and the 1938 Mickey Mouse short, <em>The Brave Little Tailor.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Animators used 27 different colors to bring Jiminy Cricket to life.<\/li>\n<li>The voice of Jiminy Cricket was provided by Cliff Edwards. Edwards also played the part of the head crow in Dumbo (1941) and sang \u201cWhen I See An Elephant Fly.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Jiminy Cricket has become one of the most enduring symbols of The Walt Disney Company. His signature song, \u201cWhen You Wish Upon a Star,\u201d accompanies the Walt Disney Pictures logo at the start of every Disney animated film, and the ships of the Disney Cruise Line play the first seven notes of the familiar melody as their horn signals.<\/li>\n<li>If you meet Jiminy in the parks and get his autograph, you\u2019ll often find that the initial \u201cJ\u201d is drawn as an umbrella, Jiminy\u2019s signature prop!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/robertandrews.net\/songpics\/W-Z\/when-you-wish.jpg\" >SHEET MUSIC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR<br \/>\n1940<\/p>\n<pre style=\"font-size: 13px;\" class=\"xNWlr hjutX PBFx0\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/0gi8Gz1ginH6PjHOVyo5BT\r\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dion And The Belmonts - When You Wish Upon A Star\" width=\"990\" height=\"743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W6Vh9PZ7vE4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\r\nWorked out on request for Owenaire.
