YMMV / The Bremen Town Musicians

Go To

  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The folktale is pretty famous in Brazil, largely due to the adaptation and translation of the 1976 Italian theatre stage adaptation I Musicanti made by the famous Brazilian composer Chico Buarque two years later, who also added new songs. Under the translated name "Os Saltimbancos" (saltimbancos are itinerant performers who travel from town to town), Chico Buarque's version of the play and the album released have become one of the greatest classics in Brazilian children's songs, being referenced and adapted in several works, like in Monica's Gang, and even adapted to cinema through Os Saltimbancos Trapalhões.
  • Signature Scene: The rooster standing on the back of the cat, the cat on the dog's back, the dog on the donkey's back. In the context of the tale they do this to scare off the robbers inside their own home.
