Jiminy Cricket has been voiced in English by six actors. However, Walt Disney persuaded him to stay by giving him the assignment of supervising the animation of Jiminy Cricket. The character was designed by Ward Kimball, who had been very disappointed and was about to leave the Disney studio when much of the work he did for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was cut from the final version of that film. It also occurs in the 1938 Mickey Mouse cartoon " Brave Little Tailor". "Jiminy Cricket!" was uttered in Pinocchio 's immediate Disney predecessor, 1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs by the seven dwarfs. "Jiminy", along with variants "Jiminy Christmas" and "Jiminy cricket" have been used as minced oaths for "Jesus Christ" since at least 1803.
