Yes, they do say Jiminy Crickets. It was an expression used before Pinocchio, it's the same thing as Jiminy Christmas or jeez.
Well, thanks for clearing that up!

"Jiminy Crickets" is a sort of bowdlerized euphemism for "Jesus Christ," kind of similar to the bit in "Hocus Pocus" where Winnifred exclaims "cheese and crust." Essentially, the character's name is sort of a pun. Those sorts of euphemisms were much more common back years ago than they are nowadays, to the point that I'd imagine more people are familiar with Jiminy Cricket as the character as opposed to the expression.

One of the lines the chorus sings in
Can You Feel The Love Tonight sounds like "Women in underwear", if, like me, you don't have good hearing.
Another one - When I was a kid I thought that The Blue Fairy said "Wait, the gift of life is mine" The "mine" would have made sense given that it is her who is bestowing life upon Pinnochio, but the "wait" confused me

Just curious, did we ever get a final ruling on this one?

Not really Disney but when I was little in the Wizard of Oz when the Wicked Witch was melting she says "Who would have thought a little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness." I always use to think she said "My beautiful wiggajet." I use to say that was a type of luggage idk lol. When I told my mom she said "No she says wickedness." Even my brother told me it was wickedness lol.
I can't really remember any specific Disney line that I confused as a kid but I am sure there are some haha.
