« And so much that, in the short time of four months, we realize, here in Rio, three recordings of feature film - The Reluctant Dragon, Dumbo and Bambi - and also the two celluloids that Walt Disney produced in short film. »
« Almirante is one of the best to be approved in the "Brazilian" dubbings of the movies of the master Disney. Since "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" until "Bambi", no yet released in Brazil, the "biggest patent of radio" has contributed brilliantly to those successes. In "Dumbo", he was the Stork who called, jumping from car to car "Mrs Jumbo! Oh, Mrs Jumbo!". The unmistakable and malleable voice of Admiral has been used consecutively by Walt Disney. » |

« Ned Washington and Franck Churchill wrote for "Dumbo", the recent "cartoon" of Walt Disney, several melodies worthy of success. Worth, for example, this "Casey Junior", so full of rhythm. It's a page that one hears with pleasure.
We publish below, in response to several requests, the verses translated by Aloysio de Oliveira. » - Carioca, March 29, 1951
