Elm Street Icon Robert Englund Is Playing Jiminy Cricket In A New Pinocchio Horror Movie, And I'm Bugging Out Over How Freddy-Esque It Looks

Robert Englund starring as Freddy Grueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street, Jiminy Cricket from Disney's 2022 "live action" Pinocchio. .

The Poohniverse of horror movies just found its conscience, and he looks like your next nightmare. A Nightmare on Elm Street legend Robert Englund is voicing the Cricket in the upcoming horror movie, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and the first-look design is pure menace. It’s definitely a horror movie take on Jiminy, but I’m honestly bugging out over how Freddy-esque the design looks. I seriously can’t stop staring, because I suspect this could be yet another scene-stealing baddy from the legend who brought us Freddy Krueger.

The reveal came via Twisted Childhood Universe’s official X account, which dropped two images, which you can view below, of the creature: a tight, snarling close-up and a full-body shot with those shredded wings and spidery antennae.
