From the Paper:

"Throughout his career, Walt continually had to meet financial and strategic objectives, and despite setbacks, he always managed to meet them, even if it meant going over budget, for which he was famous. In "Snow White," he felt Snow White looked too pale, and so thousands of frames were repainted with pink cheeks. In "Pinocchio," he felt something was missing, so Jiminy Cricket was added after the film's completion, at extensive cost. However, these details helped make the films the hits they were, and added to Disney's coffers in the end."
