"Jiminy Cricket" is the eighth episode of House of Mouse, originally aired on ABC on March 10, 2001.
Summary
Jiminy Cricket quits his job as Pinocchio's conscience after Pain and Panic separate Pinocchio from Jiminy. When Mickey says he'll do anything to help, the Blue Fairy makes Jiminy his conscience, much to his annoyance. Jiminy soon starts making Mickey dress like and even act like Pinocchio, to the point that Mickey's nose grows when he tells lies. Mickey quickly realizes that Pinocchio and Jiminy have to get back together and has to figure out how to do it, mostly he was able to get back with Pinocchio by telling everybody life lessons. Aladdin, Cruella and Hercules all want Jiminy, but Pinocchio steps in and reunites with Jiminy.

Trivia
- Mike the Microphone's lines before Mickey was introduced was "Meeska, Mooska, Mickey Mouse!", which are the magic words to open up the clubhouse in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
- The Blue Fairy clearly made a blunder with making Jiminy a conscience for Mickey. (Jiminy acted the exact opposite, making Mickey do ridiculous things and make a fool of himself.)
- Mickey's line "Well, at least I've got no strings" refers to the song of the same name.
