http://disney.go.com/vault/archives/characters/jiminy/jiminy.htmlJiminy was not part of the film's original story line. Concluding that "something was missing," the creators of the film took the minor character of a cricket from Collodi's original story as a source of inspiration and expanded him into the character we know as Jiminy Cricket. Before Walt selected Jiminy Cricket as the character's name, the phrase was used as an exclamation denoting surprise or bewilderment. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the phrase has been around since 1848. In "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," made over two years before "Pinocchio," the dwarfs exclaim, "Jiminy Crickets!" when they return to their cottage and find the lights on. Jiminy was the first Disney feature character to speak directly to the audience. Voice Artist: Cliff Edwards (1940-1971)Eddie Carroll (since 1975)Character Design: Ward Kimball. As you can see all great animations go through various steps to get them what they are, however this did not occur for me. - I will talk about this in the blog called "my thinking".
