'hendrix?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'jumpy character from disney new york about to pull film' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'character' could be 'y' and 'y' is found in the answer.
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found within the answer.
'about' could be 'c' (abbreviation for circa) and 'c' is located in the answer.
'film' could be 'et' (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial) and 'et' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for jiminy cricket that I've seen is " Expression of surprise - insect in "Pinocchio"".)
