It sounds like [Sterling Holloway](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001359/) (voice of Winnie The Pooh, among many others). [This](http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=EDsYAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA52&lpg=PA52&dq=sterling+holloway+turnabout&source=bl&ots=lHodfMQ5ez&sig=XByB7zluRfYJ60KuRl_3TbU9OPk&hl=en&sa=X&ei=SkjFU9DzBq2T0QW-zYC4Aw&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=sterling%20holloway%20turnabout&f=false) seems to confirm it.
