DisCHARney 2: Jiminy Cricket

I have decided to do an entire blog on the DisCHARney of the week.  So, after the DisCHARney has been announced on Monday look out for the blog post completely devoted to that Character. In the blog post I will also be including all the DisHINTneys for the following weeks DisCHARney.  Look on the right side bar of the blog and submit who you think the DisCHARney is; based off of the DisHINTneys.  You will have from Saturday to Monday evening to submit your guess.  I HOPE EVERYONE is enjoying the blog if so head over to Facebook (www.facebook.com/dislizney) and like the page.  Also, you can follow me on Twitter (www.twitter.com/dislizney) and pinterest (www.pinterest.com/dislizney)

DisCHARney 2: Jiminy Cricket

Originally voiced by: Cliff Edwards

Originally Animated by: Ward Kimball  http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Ward_Kimball

Full name: Sir Jiminy H. Cricket

Appearances: Pinocchio, House of Mouse, Once Upon A Time, among many others.

Song: "When You Wish Upon a Star" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pguMUFyJ3_U

 "Just Let Your Conscience Be your Guide" 

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.

http://m.wikihow.com/Draw-Jiminy-Cricket

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. DisTIPney: if you sit through the drawing class you will have an excellent suvineer to bring home with you! (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.

Week two in DisHINTney

Good Evening Everyone,

Here were the hints from last week revealing this weeks DisCHARney! Be on the look out at www.twitter.dislizney.com for this weeks #DisHINTney 's.  This week on the blog I will put up a question for all of you to answer over the weekend, on who you think the next disCHARney is! 

Norman Ferguson animated the witch in Snow White;Honest John, and Gideon the Coachman from Pinocchio.

http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Norman_Ferguson

Like Frozen Pinocchio walked away with Best Original Song and Best Original Score at the 1941 Oscars.

If you listend to the Youtube video Rod Miller played "Someday My Prince Will Come" as well as "When You Wish Upon A Star"

"You broke my smolder"

Alright fellow Disney finatics,

I broke down and went back to the way I usually spend my weekends.  I put in Tangled!  During the winter season either Saturday or Sunday the hubby and I would spend the morning watching one of our favorite disney movies Tangled.  

This movie is excellent it brings in the magic of the disney classics like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid while also brings its own modern twist to it.   It has all the disney qualities; A beautiful princess that sings and has animals as friends and a charming man that aids her in her quest for independence, the perfect ingredients for a disney classic.      

This movie should be seen by everyone.  I have probably seen this movie more than 1000 times.  I never get sick of it  and it hasn't been out that long! I know almost all of the words and the songs.  My favorite song being "i've got a dream".  The Fact that Flynn Ryder is one of the few disney characters to question singing in a disney movie it absolutely hilarious.  He is not your typical "prince charming"  which is what I think makes Flynn Ryder on of the best Disney Princes!

 I believe Disney should continue to make more movie like this.  

"I've got dreams like you now really, just much less touchy-feely.  They happen mainly somewhere warm and sunny.  On Island that I own tanned and rested and alone...surrounded by enormous piles of money!"  - My favorite part of the song
