The statement here is one that appears prominently in Disney’s 1940 story of "Pinocchio". It aims to teach and focus on good personal ethics. "Pinocchio" is provided as an illustration and used to promote good behavior rather than highlight offensive behavior, immature attitudes, or a person simply being a jerk.

The famous exchange from the supervising directors in "Pinocchio" is:

“Well it's a good thing you didn't get to wrapped up in it" Jiminy Cricket said walking her home; Pinocchio had already gone home after his game with the other boys ended and asked Jiminy to take his sister home.

"I know Jiminy" Gizela said "I don't wanna end up like my brother" she said "like you told me."

"Don't worry Gizela that won't happen to you" he said." “Just let your conscience be your guide"…

Jiminy started to dance while twirling his umbrella

"When you get in trouble and you don't know right from wrong

Give a little whistle!"…

"When you meet temptation and the urge is very strong, give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!"

Gizela started to dance along

"Take the straight and narrow path" she sang. "And always let your conscience be your guide" he sang.

Here, the question for Jiminy and the others is that of mind-set. Everyone is doing what they think is right (or at least seems right), but the underlying actions may not necessarily be guided by any moral values. Here, the best thing is conscience; it knows right from wrong. It must be used.
