Hm, I'll think about the wording and see what we can do.

There must be other good trivia points to add from a few of the episodes. As a child, he loved the sound of crickets, and he even played with one in a cage (an image I added).

You're right. The original story just had just a talking cricket, and Disney named him. His name came from the saying "Jiminy Cricket!" as an exclamation used by Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz and, I think, by one of the dwarves in the Snow White cartoon (both came out before the Pinocchio cartoon).

The history is missing his later adult interaction with Geppetto, too.
