Pumba Talks "Fire Safety" at Tapeworks

Pumba, from Disney's "Lion King" may live in the jungle, but his voice lives here in Connecticut. Actor Ernie Sabella and his unmistakable voice came to the studio recently to record for Disney's "Wild About Safety", an upcoming educational DVD featuring the Timon and Pumba characters. This episode emphasized fire safety and and stressed the importance of smoke alarms in the household.

Ernie was directed via phone patch by the Disney team in Burbank, CA, while being recorded by Bill Ahearn, chief engineer, here at Tapeworks in Hartford. The recorded audio was organized and promptly sent to the producers of the DVD.
