abstract:Jiminy Cricket is the Walt Disney version of The Talking Cricket (), a fictional character created by Carlo Collodi for his children's book The Adventures of Pinocchio, which Disney adapted into the animated film Pinocchio in 1940. Originally an unnamed, minor character in Collodi's novel, he was transformed in the Disney version into a comical and wise partner who accompanies Pinocchio on his adventures, having been appointed by the Blue Fairy (known in the book as The Beautiful Fairy with Sky Blue Hair) to serve as Pinocchio's official conscience.
Performed by vaudeville star Cliff Edwards, the original voice of Jiminy Cricket, the Oscar-winning song is one of 25 titles inducted into the 8th Annual National Recording Registry.
