Continuity mistake: When Pinocchio is locked up in the cage of Stromboli, Jiminy goes inside the cage lock, and he hangs his coat and hat on the outside of the lock. In the next shot, they have disappeared.
Jiminy Cricket: Well... guess he won't need me anymore. What does an actor want with a conscience, anyway?
