Jiminy Cricket hopes to travel around the world, visiting theme parks, especially but not exclusively Disney parks.
Jiminy was introduced in Disney's second feature, Pinocchio, released Feb. 23, 1940. He represented a character identified in author Carlo Collodi's original book version only as "the talking cricket", and served as Pinoke's conscience — a role that got him righteously squashed in the book, but catapulted him to stardom in animation.
Jiminy was designed by master animator Ward Kimball at the direction of Disney himself, who thought there was something missing from the Pinocchio film as it was originally proposed. Apparently, Jiminy was it, because many commentators think he pretty much stole the movie. The Cricket's voice was provided by Cliff "Ukelele Ike" Edwards, a minor radio actor of the 1930s and '40s who is best remembered for this role.
Jiminy started turning up in comic books during the 1950s, often drawn by veteran funny animal artist Al Hubbard. Jiminy was most recently seen in Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983) and Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), but he'll undoubtedly turn up again.
