История
“I was born in New England, but somehow escaped a Puritanical conscience. Came to Los Angeles at the tender age of four and am still hanging around. Started as a plumber at the age of twelve until I read in a magazine where some one guaranteed piano playing in twenty lessons. After receiving my diploma from the post office I immediately went to work at $16 a week in a Main Street picture palace. I’m still up in the dough. At present I’m trying to write musical scores for cartoons.” -published in the June 20, 1931 edition of The Motion Picture Daily
Churchill began his career playing piano in silent cinemas at the age of 15 before becoming an accompanist at KNX in 1924. Churchill then joined Walt Disney Studios in 1930, where he became a staple composer, penning "The Three Little Pigs" as well as "Hi-Ho".
Churchill was found dead at his piano with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1942.

Однажды утром на маленькой, освещенной весенним солнцем, лесной полянке родился олененок. На нового лесного принца сбежались и слетелись посмотреть все звери и птицы. Олененка назвали Бэмби. Когда Бэмби научился ходить и разговаривать он обзавелся друзьями — кроликом Тампером и скунсом Цветочком. А однажды на лугу, куда привела его мама, Бэмби познакомился с маленькой веселой оленихой — Фэйлин. Но жизнь в лесу бывает опасной и жестокой. Впервые Бэмби столкнулся с этим, когда прозрачный осенний лесной воздух пронзили выстрелы из ружья — все звери начали в панике убегать, и тогда Бэмби впервые услышал страшное слово — Человек.

It's morning in the English countryside and time for the gentry to participate in their favorite sport: the fox hunt. The eccentric gentlemen come in all shapes and sizes, the fat ones putting the greatest strain on the horses. The craziest things happen to the monocled hunters. One even gets knocked off his horse when it jumps over a brick wall. He shoots straight up into the air and, thanks to a parachute hidden in his clothes, makes a gentle landing. But instead of the ground, he lands on a cow. Upset by her unwanted passenger, she takes off at top speed, finally dumping him in a mud puddle, where he lands on a pig and continues his wacky ride. Meanwhile, the poor fox finally gets trapped in a hollow log. Dogs to the left of him, dogs to the right! Luckily, the beleaguered creature gets help from a certain powerful, and pungent, friend.
