ANECDOTES
- Released during World War II, Pinocchio was dubbed some years later in European countries.
- It seems the Japanese 1986 dubbing was only made for a VHS release [need confirmation]. The 1983 is still the official dubbing.
- In the first Swedish dubbing, while the Aftonbladet's article from 1941 mentions singer Sven-Olof Sandberg for Jiminy Cricket's singing voice, another article of the same paper from 1987 about the rental VHS mentions singer Gösta Winge for the singing.
- The Albanian dubbings aren't officially Disney's, they were made by independent studios.

ANECDOTES
- FUN AND FANCY FREE is a "package film" composed of two segments : "Bongo" and "Mickey and the Beanstalk".
However, some versions only dubbed the segment "Mickey and the Beanstalk", either as a stand-alone short, or part of other short film compilations. Those versions used the alternate narration by character Ludwig von Drake and his sidekick Herman the Bootle Beetle.
This is the case for the following versions : Arabic (2004?) ; Brazilian Portuguese TV (1988) ; Brazilian Portuguese VHS (1993) ; Cantonese (1st dubbing) ; Czech ; Greek (1996) ; Greek (2005) ; Hebrew ; Hungarian (2006) ; Icelandic ; Japanese (1958) ; Japanese (1990) ; Polish (2004) ; Portuguese ; Romanian ; Taiwanese Mandarin ; Thai and Turkish.
Therefore, Jiminy Cricket doesn't appear in those versions.
Nonetheless, Egypt (Arabic), Hong Kong (Cantonese), Greece, Israel (Hebrew), Hungary, Poland, Romania and Turkey eventually dubbed the whole movie "Fun and Fancy Free", with the live-action narration and the apparition of Jiminy Cricket.
- In Germany, a first dubbing was made of "Mickey and the Beanstalk" for the movie "Donald Ducks tollste Abenteuer", released in theaters in 1966, and composed of various shorts including Donald - but it seems that this dubbing included no narrative part, neither by Jiminy, nor by Ludwig von Drake. It's only in the 1970s that a dubbing for Bongo's segment seems to be made, in which Jiminy appeared; until the full dubbing of the movie in 1992.
- Germany and Japan re-released the short "Mickey and the Beanstalk", respectively in 1993 and in 2006, using the narration of Ludwig von Drake. Both countries used their last and official dubbing of the short (1992 dubbing for Germany and 1995 dubbing for Japan), and only dubbed the characters of Ludwig and Herman for the narration.
- Italy, Norway and Sweden only redubbed Mickey's short, not the full movie. They still use their original dubbing for the live-action narration and Bongo's segment. However, in Norwegian, they also redubbed Jiminy Cricket's part with his voice from Pinocchio (1995 dubbing), while they kept the original Norwegian (1952) voice of the Singing Harp.
- The Albanian dubbing isn't officially Disney's, it was made by an independent studio.
