Voice Actors
Jiminy Cricket was voiced, in English, by three different actors. He was originally performed by singer Cliff Edwards, who voiced the character for Disney through the 1960s and sang Jiminy's most famous song, When You Wish Upon a Star. After Edwards' death, Eddie Carroll replaced him as the voice actor for Jiminy. Carroll died in 2010, and the third voice actor for Jiminy, Phil Snyder, began voicing him on May 19, 2010 in the Kingdom Hearts video game series. In his Italian adaptation, Jiminy is voiced by Carlo Romano, who also dubbed for Fernandel in the Don Camillo series, and in French, he is voiced by Roger Carel, who is also the voice of Asterix.

But sorrow return’d with the dawning of morn,
And the voice in my dreaming ear melted away.”
