Jiminy Cricket is the beloved sidekick from Pinocchio! He is the personified version of a conscience. How great would it be to actually talk to your conscience? It would be a lot harder to make a bad decision if you could. Jiminy is the first of a long line of Disney sidekicks. He is the only sidekick to be as important as the protagonist (Pinocchio). He is also the only Disney Sidekick to appear independently from his original film. We often see Jiminy in Video games as the "Guide" throughout the game (Kingdom Hearts) this is very fitting since Jiminy is in fact a guide for life.
This is a link to a YouTube video of Wishes where Jiminy is the narrator through out the show. A fitting choice since aside from Mickey Jiminy's is also very well know and he is a guide for many. This is a disHINTney see if you can connect the dots.

This is a link to a youtube video on how to draw Jiminy Cricket. I used this to give you a little Disney magic. You can feel like you are in Hollywood Studios.

(We drew Dopey and framed it to put in our office) If you don't to watch the video here is a picture guide http://m.wikihow.com/Draw-Jiminy-Cricket
DisHINTney: While you are drawing Jiminy pay attention to the surroundings you will see next weeks DisCHARney.
Interesting..
"Jiminy Cricket" was often used in place "Jesus Christ" as a euphemism.

I have been sitting here watching Disney classics on ABC family all day. I finally decided to write a review on one them. So I chose Mulan. Definetely in my top ten Disney Animated films. This movie has all the elements that makes a disney movie a classic. The story resonates with audiences as being a true testiment to courage and bravery. As wells as breaking the mold for the role of the female character. The music while being catchy is also meaningful to anyone who watches it. Although Mulan is not the first "Disney Princesses" to break the mold (Ariel is in my opinion) she is the first Disney Princess in which her film does not focus on the relationship between her and Shang but that of her bringing honor to her family and saving her father.
How the film impacted my life.
I can remember when I first saw this film. In 1998 when I was 11 (almost not cool to be seeing disney movies anymore) it was just my mom and little sister who went to see it. We all watched in aw as the new Disney Classic was unfolding right in front of our eyes. All three of right away loved the film. I believe right after seeing the movie we went to buy the CD from target. It was a girls night for all of us and we loved it. I really like the idea of Disney princesses being idols for young girls but Mulan may be the best Idol for young girls. The courage, bravery and intelligence is so unlike any other Disney character. I think we should be teaching young girls this very idea!
After going to video, this movie became an instant classic at slumber parties. I can remember quoting and singing all of the songs from Mulan. This went on well into high school. A movie we brought along with us to band camp (not to get all nerdy on you)
Facts You May Not Know
1.Mulan was made to smooth relations between Disney and the Chinese Governement (to learn more see the Disney Wikia)
2. In Chinese Ping mean Pot and Fa means Flowers, so Mulans knew name is flowerpot, in China the means an "effeminate man"
3. Chi Fu translates as "to bully"
4. Lea Salonga is the singing voice for both Mulan and Jasmine from Aladdin
5. In Lilo and Stich Nani has a Mulan movie poster in her bedroom!
My Favorites!
Character: Mulan herself
Although not an actual Princess (by blood or by marriage) She is still a Disney Princess for very good reasons! Mulan means magnolia blossem.
The Best of Disney This Podcast is all about our trip back in September for our 1 year anniversary! I know, I know it is very late; I justify this by saying it is nice to go back and remember months later. I felt like I was back on vacation. If you would like to pictures with the audio head over to YouTube and check it out!
My opinion on the upcoming films Saving Mr. Banks and Frozen. Two films coming to the theater this holiday season that I am excited to see when they do come out. After listening to this podcast over and over I have a found a few mistakes for instance Ann and Elsa will make 12 and 13 Disney princesses respectfully. I do not claim to know the exact story of the two films I am only speculating based on things I have read and trailers I have seen.
For the rest of the week the #disCHARney will be themed around the number 1000.
