- See also List of Jiminy Cricket educational serials
In the 1950s - 1970s, Jiminy Cricket appeared in four series of educational films aimed at grade-school audiences. In the "I'm No Fool" series, he advised children how to steer clear of dangerous traffic, sharp objects, strangers, exposed electrical lines, and so forth. Several of those series were first shown on the "Mickey Mouse Club" from 1955 though 1959. In each short, he sang the refrain:
I'm no fool, no sirree!
I'm gonna live to be 23*
I play safe for you and me
'Cause I'm no fool!
* The age changed for each chorus, going from 23 to 33, then 53, 93 and finally 103
The second series, called "You", teaches about the human body with the refrain "You are a human animal...". This, too, was originally shown on the "Mickey Mouse Club." The third series, "The Nature of Things", combined live-action and animation, and the fourth series was called "Encyclopedia". In the 1950s, on the "Mickey Mouse Club", he also sang two related songs related to safety: "Stop, Look, and Listen", and "Safety First".
On Disneyland Records, Jiminy Cricket sang the yuletide song "Kris, Kris Kringle (With a Tingle-Ingle-Ingle)", in the style of a vaudevillian Tin Pan Alley style, first singing the song straight, and the second time, speaking half of the song in rhythm. He ended the song by wishing everyone a "Merry Christmas".
In 1988, he made a brief cameo in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, when Eddie Valiant first drives through Toontown.
