Cri-Cri (also known as "El grillito cantor" or "the singing cricket"), is a Mexican fictional character, an anthropomorphic cricket, created by Francisco Gabilondo Soler in 1934 while broadcasting his own musical radio show on Mexico's station XEW.[1] Cri-Cri is known as the "grillito cantor" or "the singing cricket." He was created by Gabilondo Soler in his childhood and may even be considered "his inner personality."[2] The character became so famous and gave its author such renown that it became a second name for Gabilondo.[3] In the mid part of the 20th century, he became one of the most prominent children's singers in Spanish.
Legacy
[edit ]Disney offered to animate one of Cri-Cri's most popular songs "Cochinitos Dormilones" (Sleepy Piggies),[4] and incorporated aspects of his own Three Little Pigs short into it.[5] Walt Disney's character of Jiminy Cricket may have been inspired by the famous Mexican character.[6]
The character is the brand ambassador for Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria.[7]
