[...] «If you want to be meticulously accurate, you should add Sven Olof Sandberg's name alongside Torsten Winge's for Jiminy Cricket. It is Sven Olof who is responsible for the song.» [...]
- Aftonbladet; April 22, 1941

"Pinocchio's swedish voice is made by 39 years-old actress Inga Tidblad, and opera singer Gösta Winge sings Jiminy's Cricket's "When you wish upon a star..." [...].
- Aftonbladet; November 13, 1987
«[...] Like Snow White, Pinocchio is a completely Swedish film with Swedish text by Nils Bohman and directed by Per-Axel Branner.​»
