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. Though called "cricket", he is depicted as a grasshopper instead, being crickets black or dark brown and with very long antennae. Since his debut in ''Pinocchio'', he has become a recurring iconic Disney character and has made numerous other appearances. ==Origin of name== The character's name is a play on the exclamation "Jiminy Cricket!", a minced oath for "Jesus Christ" – which itself was uttered in ''Pinocchio''s immediate Disney predecessor, 1937's ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs''. Another example occurs in the 1939 film ''The Wizard of Oz'', wherein Dorothy (Judy Garland) cries, "Oh! Oh! Jiminy Crickets!" when she is startled by the Wizard's pyrotechnics. Garland also uses the expression in her 1938 film ''Listen, Darling''. It is also used several times in the 1930 movie ''Anna Christie'' and in the 1938 Mickey Mouse cartoon "Brave Little Tailor". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jiminy Cricket」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
