Who voiced Pinochio in Disney's 1940 movie of the same name?

"Pinocchio" is a 1940 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Productions and based on the Italian children's novel "The Adventures of Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi. It was the second animated feature film produced by Disney, made after the success of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937).

Critical analysis of "Pinocchio" identifies it as a simple morality tale that teaches children of the benefits of hard work and middle-class values. Although it became the first animated feature to win a competitive Academy Award – winning two for Best Music, Original Score and for Best Music, Original Song for "When You Wish Upon A Star" – it was initially a box office disaster. It eventually made a profit in its 1945 reissue, and is considered one of the greatest animated movies ever made.

Due to the huge success of Snow White, Walt Disney wanted more famous voices for "Pinocchio", which marked the first time an animated film had used celebrities as voice actors. He cast popular singer Cliff Edwards, also known as "Ukelele Ike", as Jiminy Cricket. Edwards was a popular entertainer who had made the first million-selling record. Disney rejected the idea of having an adult play Pinocchio and insisted that the character be voiced by a real child. He cast 12-year-old child actor Dickie Jones, who had previously been in Frank Capra's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
