When You Wish Upon A Star - sung by Jiminy Cricket (Cliff Edwards)

[@MonkeyDLuffy-ov1cz]

In 1945 my daddy took me to see Pinocchio as a very young boy. The part about the boys changing into donkeys really scared me and my daddy held me in his lap. This song had a powerful affect on me because I had heard it on the radio and in the movie. I was 7 years old when my daddy was killed in a coal mining accident 66 years ago. I was so devastated when my mother told me of his death, I couldn't stop crying. That's when I heard this song being played on our old stand-up radio we had and I ran outside to wish upon a star. You can figure out what I wished for, for my daddy to come back to me because I was his Pride and Joy and youngest boy. It broke my heart when I saw him in his casket but I still have the memory of seeing Pinocchio with him. That's why I have cried every single time I have ever heard this song in 66 years, just like I'm crying right now. I love and miss you still daddy.

That was Walt Disney, Could not agree more. His warm, folksy voice was perfect for Jiminy Cricket. He also had popularized "Singin' in the Rain" in the "Hollywood Revue" motion picture in 1929. Seems his later years were tough, and the Disney Corporation stepped in and paid for his funeral. Nice.

[@cesardegracia5035]

I agree 100%. The musical arrangements plus his voice makes it the definitive version. Every cover of this song falls short.

[@SamuelDJCox]

There's a tinge of wistful tragedy in his voice, he adds wonder and drama to all the right words. I think most other versions sing it very prettily and neatly, but he really acted it. It always sounds to me like it's sung from the voice of an old man, a dreamer who's lived an entire life and is tired and sad at this point. But he sings this every night as looks up to a star and keeps hoping. There's real pain as well and beauty in this version. To me, it cuts right to the core of what it's about. It's about having hope and holding onto it no matter where life takes you.

[@carlorachel]

I remember snuggling with my PJs on, sitting on the living room carpet of my grandma's house, a few weeks before Christmas. They already had the tree up and twinkling. Disney came on the B&W tv. It was a Sunday night. I heard this song for the first time and couldn't believe a cricket could sing so beautifully. The song has never left. And with it, I've learned that crickets do sing beautifully. As do others who are full of hope and faith. This is a masterpiece that opened a very important door for me.

The world is that magical, it’s just a shame most don’t believe it anymore because science has brainwashed people into thinking it’s wrong to believe in something other than science. Knowing what chemicals trigger us to feel love doesn’t change how it feels, if anything it takes the magic out of it for a lot of people, because people no longer appreciate feeling it anymore. The world is a magical place, Walt Disney knew it too, “when your heart is in your dreams, no request is too extreame” that’s why we’ve lost sight of the magic, our hearts aren’t in it anymore, the magic didn’t go anywhere, we just stopped believing in it.

Very well said!

[@JudgeJulieLit]

Because stars show in sky at night, as we fall asleep ... .

[@iriz6576]

Oh my god... I’m sobbing like crazy now... this song brings back a chunk of my childhood memories... the first time going to Disneyland, and listening to the Disney song collection with this as the opening song, back from when I was a kid... the magical, nostalgic feeling I will never ever be able to forget❣️😭

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

Disney was the wonderful person who showed all of us kids a wonderful Fairy tale life! He was a brilliant man who blessed us with a way to escape for a few minutes from the real world!

Google Walt Disney...He was a son of a bitch to work for. A prick. You just see the finished product.

[@shafiendd]

He was also a 33rd-degree Freemason.

[@lafayette4160]

[@michaelchesny2445]

He was freemason, there are symbols in his movies and as a child watched the movies but now as an adult you catch and see these things.

Stop the modern crap and go back to these classics Sincerely, 90s children

[@Nat-lb8nu]

The classics would be before the 90s

[@matthewwright2019]

+Natalie Mosko No, I'm talking about just 90s kids not the years they came out if you know what I mean.

[@SuperSpectus]

Disney Corp. lost almost all of its mojo after Walt Disney died. Walt was such a unique visionary that it's next to impossible to truly replace him. Thankfully, the CEO of Pixar seems to have caught a goodly portion of that vision, and is helping the company to once again put out some great movies. I was horrified when Disney came so close several years ago to actually cutting ties with Pixar. Would have been the worst move by a movie company ever. But finally, in a stunning bit of serendipity, they... finally... not only renewed the relationship, but promoted him to CEO of Disney itself!

Hello everyone I am 20 years old and this song is a very special song. It is special to me because I have been through a lot in my life and am diagnosed with high functioning autism when I was younger and most recently ptsd. This song makes me calm and makes me feel better when I don’t feel well. I sang this song to my dying grandpa in the hospital and could not get through it all because I broke down crying along with my family in the room. I told my family not to give up hope especially with this song and my grandpa smiled at me. He got better after I sang this magical song to him and came home for some time. However he then went back to the hospital and passed away in January of this year. I cry still when I sing this song sometimes and I think about it. I was listening to this song when my mom came in my room and told me my grandpa died. Never ever give up hope and keep wishing on stars like I still do today it works.

[@amandadiaz3154]

Am I the only one that cries when a beautiful, classic Disney song plays?

[@jdbhatts2912]

me too amanda, me too. that dreamlike chikdish wonder in some of their songs, the nostalgia of a beautiful childhood memory, its all there. Its truly magical, like the blue fairy

[@kevinaustin0369]

This is one of my favorite songs. I would sing this to put my boys to sleep when they were babies. This and Somewhere over the Rainbow. They would be asleep by the time I finished. You remember the first moment you heard these songs. Disney truly was magical.

[@drewbuatti8124]

When this songs goes off during the fireworks at Disney world it gives a tear in my eye. If you truly listen you will really understand the meaning. It is a very strong meaning.

[@mevb]

Here in Sweden and the rest of the Nordic and Scandinavia, it is known not only as one of the anthems of Disney but also a Christmas song due to the fact that every Christmas Eve afternoon From All of Us to All of You is shown on TV ever since the 60's. It connects to Christmas partly due to The Star of Bethlehem as it guided The Wise Men/Kings to the stable where Jesus were born, making it the symbol of Christmas. It is so beautiful that I can't help to shed tears when I hear it and have to struggle to not to cry in public or at work.

[@bsharp3243]

Makes you sit back and just reflect, when a song is so beautiful it makes the strongest person stop and think, that is true magic.

[@redwoods7370]

I love the part of the song that says, "...makes no difference who you are." Think about it. That means all of us are equal in the eyes of the star. We are all precious creations. We are all lovely beings. Believe that all of you guys reading this. It's true and you are special because there is only one YOU in this whole universe. Think about that! Only one YOU and all that you bring to this universe.

[@hoss-lk4bg]

ok

[@Tele165]

Cliff, what a surprise...I play for long term care residents now and thought this would be a wonderful song to sing for them...so you can imagine my surprise when I Google this tune...and your name pops up immediately. Back in the day, you were a year or two ahead of me at LTMHS...but I knew your brother Brian quite well. Love how you so easily hit the money notes...I'll have to sing it lower to try and reach those notes. Wonderfully sung Cliff....Mel Chislett here...

[@gerryvanderzeypen1214]

I close my eyes and I remember at a young age hearing this beautiful song...and no one can sing it like the original....wonderful moments back then and now in my middle 70's, can still hear echos of that movie and the song WISH I could be back there now with family who are all gone now except me...see you all very soon, keep a place for me!...

[@GingerBeanie]

I like 'Let it Go'. I like "I'll Make a Man Out of You" I like "Part of Your World" I like "A Whole New World" I like "Circle of Life" But no other Disney song comes close to being as perfect as this.

[@billseesyou121]

let it go sucks

[@GingerBeanie]

Bilber TehRobloxGeek Meh it's fine to me.

[@dankfrank6311]

+Bilber TehRobloxGeek let it go is alright to me. They just played it way too much

[@KagaKusanagi]

Yup

[@darthkurland]

Amen to that. This song is, after all, the anthem of Disney.

[@erinee5754]

i miss Disney's originality i mean making movies beyond our imagination and how they don't care about others creations as long they making their own in a very creative and unique way

[@jamie5452]

Trust me i can relate...those were magical moments...🤗✌🇯🇲

[@Guybrush369]

Disney is not really Original, most of their stories are taken from other material often classical stories from the Grimm brothers or similar. But they definitely are great at giving it their magical and fantastic touch, at least back then.

[@masterknife8423]

A lot of Disney's movies aren't that original actually

[@linla1856]

I loved the way the animations in old disney movies looked!! Now they’re obviously way better quality since technology has advanced, but the old animations remind me of my childhood so much that I miss it!!

[@johnepants]

They weren’t original, but they had a different spin on old stories that families could relate too (and often times cut out some really dark stuff in some of their stories)

[@kaiser-ix3tn]

This is a song that I never want to listen to for the last time...

[@xmqrcel5466]

Im 15 years old, and i really get emotional of this song. It brings me back to the good old days where i was just a simple kid with only few care in the world. I really wish to be a little kid forever. The things that scare me the most is to loose my parents, they mean the world to me.

[@jamie5452]

Trust me i can relate...Im 35 and to this day i still relived them memories ...those were magical moments...✌🇯🇲

[@hoss-lk4bg]

hang in there youngin

[@FelineTomfoolery69]

Well life sucks, you can’t be a kid forever and you eventually grow up

[@ashleyhewitt4546]

I went on the Disney cruise this summer, and when the ship was going away from the port the big whistle or whatever you want to call it played this song really loud and it was beautiful.

[@cazma56]

50 years ago l used to play this over and over. Singing loud window open, looking at the sky. Now at night l sit looking at the stars and talk to the stars. It never goes away. My favourite fills my heart

[@andrew23947]

ok get your tissues on standby because this will bring back childhood memories

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

Man….I just started crying listening to this song. Partly from nostalgia and how I heard this pretty much weekly watching Pinocchio all the time as a kid. But also just at how pure yet beautiful this song is. Even though it’s in a cartoon in what is considered to many to be a “kids movie” this song has such a beautiful message to anyone of any age. Having hope and faith in our dreams no matter how impossible or big they seem. This song really is a unique and remarkable song. I loved it as a child but I like it more now that I’m a teenager. It helps me put aside all of my worries and fears about growing up and becoming an adult. It helps me take a moment to just sit and be still. It gives me hope and faith that even if life is crazy and hard sometimes there is still always good in the world. It might be a little hard to find like a small star in the big sky but it is there shining brightly waiting for you to find it. This song really is such a comforting song. It gives you this feeling that everything is going to be alright. Even if the world around you is crazy and falling apart there is still good in the world however small it might be. “Like a boat out of the blue fate steps in and sees you through” Hope and faith may come out of nowhere but they are always there waiting on you to find them so that they can help you get through whatever hardship you have going on in your life. This song also just is so innocent and childlike. It brings out the child in anyone whether they are 4 or 80. It’s simple and magical as well as pure and beautiful.

[@littlerover8204]

This song played on tv when tv's were just coming out. I was maybe 6 years old in the very early 5os. Suburbia was developing and I had a deep love for life and all the kids I went to elementary school with. How beautiful life was despite the problems. This song makes me weep in childhood memory.

[@beatsmithx1090]

This song is soo beautiful. The instruments, voice, the time it was sung, the cartoon, the lyrics, the sad comments by people who watched it fifty something years ago with their late parents. They all work together to make me cry. This makes me miss the old Disney even more

[@lordofnutmeg]

Going through the comments and seeing everyone’s shared experience of watching Disney movies in their childhood warms my heart.

[@mariobrony1396]

I can't believe anyone would criticize this song. There are people who say this song promotes laziness or a lying belief that wishing alone will solve life problems. BALONEY! This is a ballad of hope for a better tomorrow and trying to see goodness and happiness even when you least suspect it! This song is as magical as it is charming and let any people who think otherwise carefully consider their motives before attacking this one little candle of light in an ever darkening world.

[@harrisonwestphall2381]

As a Gen Z guy, I love this. I don't care if people older or younger judge me!!! It's so beautiful, heartfelt, and innocent. I wish I could live this song every day. I wish I could live without fear. I wish I could love myself.

Pinocchio has and always will be my ABSOLUTE favorite Disney film PERIOD.

[@ghostl1124]

Lyrics When you wish upon a star Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires Will come to you If your heart is in your dream No request is too extreme When you wish upon a star As dreamers do Like a bolt out of the blue Fate steps in and sees you through When you wish upon a star Your dreams come true

[@thomasmerriett4288]

I remember watching The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night, when I was a kid. They need to bring those old movies back. Kids today have no idea what they're missing. Sad to see what this country is becoming.

[@hoss-lk4bg]

thx son

[@ofaeborgo3018]

I used to splay this exact video when I wanted to become pregnant with a boy child- today I have my beautiful three year old son- we listen to this together today. Thank you

[@boilerboy]

I was an 80's kid and I'd like to think I saw Disney at its finest during that time. "Bella Notte", "When You Wish Upon A Star", "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah", "Once Upon A Dream", and so many others made me fall in love with The Magic Kingdom and Epcot Center. But I still made room in my heart for the classics that came before I was born and I think I can safely say, with pride, that I truly do admire Walt Disney's original legacy. May he rest in peace.

[@jaywar69]

Thank the Universe for sharing Walt with us! Definitely a guy who brought peace and happiness to the world.
