Dumbo was almost on the cover of TIME

邓波差点成为时代周刊的封面人物

 

 

When Disney’s fifth animated film was released in the summer of 1941, it was met with praise from critics and audiences alike. It made almost $2.5 million by the time the holidays came around. TIME had plans to honor Dumbo on the cover of its December 29, 1941, issue as “Mammal of the Year” (instead of “Person of the Year”). But when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, news had to take priority. However, the precious pachyderm was still honored in the “Cinema” section of the magazine.

 

当迪士尼的第五部动画电影在1941夏天上映时,它受到了评论家和观众的一致好评。在假期将近时期,它赚了将近250万美元。时代周刊曾计划将邓波作为其1941年12月29日的杂志封面,作为“年度哺乳动物”(而不是“年度人物”)。但是当时日本轰炸了珍珠港,新闻必须优先考虑。然而,这只珍贵的小飞象仍在该杂志的“电影”部分被表彰。
