Talk:Jiminy Cricket

Why is he green? He looks more like a grasshopper.


 * This is a weird question. But isn't he more of an olive green?  Either way... it's a cartoon!  He wears CLOTHES!  What do you expect? -- MasterXiam 21:54, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Contradictory/Oxymoron?
"His role in Kingdom Hearts II is largely smaller than in the first game." Largely smaller? Really? 23:11, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Nothing to do with Jiminy. And why does he look like a grass hopper? Shouldn't he be a cricket? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tmandrake13 (talk • contribs) 03:25, 17 April 2007 (UTC).

hello... how come no one mentions that Jimminy Cricket is an old slaves story bearer? Disney did not create Jimminy ( same as he did not create Mickey). Jimminy cricket is just about 300 years old. and is even mention in africa under a different name-cricket.


 * Jiminy is something of a counterpart to the Talking Cricket in the original Pinnochio story, thought the poor Talking Cricket was killed by the little wooden bastard early in the story and only returned as a ghost to continue to lecture Pinnochio on his wrongdoings. -- Pennyforth 15:36, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

This article puts the cart before the horse
It's important that the phrase "Jiminy Cricket!" was a euphemism for "Jesus Christ!" long before it was the name of a character in a Disney film. A fact that important should not be relegated to a Trivia section. Indeed, it's not impossible that a scriptwriter inserted the name as a way of referencing Jiminy's rather christlike function in the story, as Pinocchio's spiritual guide, whioh would make perfect sense because the Cricket character in the original novel does indeed undergo death and resurrection.

Incidentally, the origin of this phrase as a substitute for "Jesus Christ" should put an end to the silly story, often repeated, that the expression "By Jiminy" originates from an ancient Roman oath taken on the constellation Gemini! Tom129.93.17.139 18:18, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Jiminy Cricket's color
If you watch the movie, Jiminy is brown, not green. Brown is the color of real crickets. Over the years someone decided to make him green. Perhaps it was the decision to make him a symbol of Environmentality for the Walt Disney Company. Nevertheless, Jiminy's true color is brown. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.128.192.3 (talk) 21:47, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

New voice of Jiminy Cricket
When Eddie Carroll passed away, could Mark Hamill voice the new Jiminy Cricket?--Jrstarwars22 (talk) 21:23, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

If the expression is used in the film version, is it also used in Eugene O'Neill's play? Varlaam (talk) 00:15, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Role?
There's nothing here about what this cricket does and says, or how and why. 20,000 Wikipoints to whoever explains this to readers. InedibleHulk (talk) 09:43, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
