“When You Wish Upon A Star” was written by Leigh Harline (music) and Ned Washington (lyrics) in 1940 for the classic Disney animated feature film “Pinocchio”. Singer/actor Cliff Edwards (aka “Ukulele Ike”) was cast as the voice of Jiminy Cricket for that film, and his now famous rendition won the Academy Award for best song that year. In 2004, the American Film Institute ranked it seventh in their list of the “100 Greatest Songs in Film History”.
