![]() ![]() However, he reappears as a ghost to offer Pinocchio advice –- presumably along the lines of "don't kill crickets who are trying to help." Disney chose to keep the Cricket's efforts to help Pinocchio, taking this small detail and making it the key component of Jiminy's personality, wisely leaving out the murder. In the book, Jiminy is just referred to as the Cricket and only makes a brief appearance before being killed by Pinocchio with a mallet. Perhaps the most harrowing detail in the original story concerns everyone's favorite sidekick, Jiminy Cricket. ![]() While Disney's Pinocchio is lovable and cute, this isn't the case in the novel, as he frequently terrorizes Gepetto. However, there were some major changes from the original story. This episodic nature of the original story translates into the film as we see Pinocchio's journey as a series of misadventures, each with a valuable lesson that Pinocchio learns from. In 1881, the novel was published as a serial in a weekly Italian magazine, telling the story of the mischievous marionette, and later published as a single book in 1883. With the arrival of the Disney Renaissance in 1989 with "The Little Mermaid," Disney's dominance in the best original song category, in particular, was secure for the next decade and beyond. It also heavily features in the Disney theme park shows and parades and is even the sound of the horn on Disney's cruise ships.ĭisney would have to wait until the 1960s before the studio picked up this brace of awards again, and they more than doubled their success when the live-action-animation-hybrid "Mary Poppins" took home five awards in total. This win was so significant for the studio that "When You Wish Upon A Star" was adopted as the anthem of Disney and was used in the Walt Disney Pictures ident that precedes their films from the 1980s onwards. By that time, Walt Disney had already received several Oscars for the studio's short films and, in fact, remains the person to have won the most awards of all time, with a staggering 26 wins and 59 nominations, via Time. "Pinocchio" managed to pick up best original song for "When You Wish Upon A Star" and best original score. The hiccup lives on, however, and it is perhaps the most famous hiccup in animation history, or at least the one provided by the most famous person. It may seem strange to have such a well-known voice actor provide the voice for a character who never speaks, although Gideon did originally have some lines that were cut from the final film. Known as "The Man of a Thousand Voices," Blanc is an extremely prolific voice actor with a staggering number of screen credits. Even stranger is that the actor credited is Mel Blanc who, if you haven't heard of him, you will have heard of one of the characters he voiced -– including a certain Bugs Bunny, as well as a plethora of other "Looney Tunes" characters. What is hard to believe is that there is a voice actor credited with this part, even though the audience only ever hears the character hiccup. The artwork used for the cover is 'Little Girl with a Doll' by Gyula Benczúr.A key player in one of the funniest scenes of the film, which involves an oversized mallet, Gideon manages to steal almost every scene he is in without uttering a single word.
