In the original
tales of
Pinocchio written by
Carlo Collodi, as opposed to the sissy
Disneyfied version,
Pinocchio smushes the little
cricket after being annoyed by his
moralizing.
Of course, he comes back as a spirit and Pinocchio regrets of his evil ways, but that always gave me a thrill when confronted with the smiling bastardization that most people think of as Jiminy Cricket. Just another example of how our true fairy tales are being infantized and incidentally copyrighted forever by the mighty Disney.
