Jiminy Cricket

Jiminy Cricket is a male anthropomorphic cricket.
==Description==
Jiminy Cricket is a small anthropomorphic cricket. Although he has a good heart and is far from lazy, Jiminy was a homeless wanderer until he was randomly called upon by a fairy to become a friend and advisor (an incarnate conscience, in point of fact) for her new creation, a puppet to whom she had given life — Pinocchio. This was a hard task but Jiminy proved a very apt conscience, and remained with Pinocchio ever since — for the most part; the travelling bug has been known to bite him again now and then. Cricket also acted as a host for numerous TV specials featuring some of the friends he had met on his travels, such as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.
==Behind the scenes==
Jiminy Cricket was created for the 1940 feature film Pinocchio, based on a nameless Cricket character in the book the film was based on. He actually debuted a few days earlier, on December the 24th, 1939, in a comic-strip adaptation of the film.
