The tree of JIminy Cricket is great, even if it doesn't seem to be based on facts, is really nice.<BR>
If we take a look at Jiminy's ancestor's clothes, we can guess that he is of Slavic origins. As these countries are somehow suffering of poverty, maybe we can understand why Jiminy is poor in his first appearance (in the beginning of "Pinocchio", before he begins an official conscience).<BR>
About Jiminy's relatives...<BR>
I know at least four of them:<BR>
- Wibur the grasshopper from the cartoon "Goofy ad Wilbur" : it's not stated in that cartoon that wilbur is a relative of Jiminy, but in the tv show " walt disney presents: on vacation with micky mouse and friends", which features this short, Jiminy is told that Goofy is on holiday with his nephew Wilbur...<BR>
- Charlie Cricket & son, <BR>
- Junior <BR>
