Product Information

One of Julie Andrews' favorite songs in Mary Poppins was "Stay Awake." When she heard that there were plans to cut it, she wrote a letter of concern to P.L. Travers who instantly insisted that the song remain in the film. You’ve worked at the Disney archives since the pre-digital age, how has your job changed as filmmaking and computer technology have changed so dramatically? I’ve always thought that Mary Poppins is David Tomlinson’s movie as much as it is Julie Andrews’. When, as Mr Banks, he gets his hat punched inside out and his bosses destroy his umbrella, he plays the scene with a pathos that, to a child of seven or eight, does terrible violence to the notion of parental infallibility. Tomlinson is the great heart of the movie, the warmth to Andrews’ splinter of ice, who, while sustaining the film’s line in jokey verbosity, still manages to be moving. Another sky high secret in the production of Mary Poppins, is that the wires holding up Julie Andrews were darkened with shoe polish to reduce reflection from the studio lights.

And you still haven’t gotten to the work you do with the actual assets you take care of from film and TV productions. Let’s talk about the nitty-gritty of the work you do, especially considering what a deep archive Disney has. What’s an average day like for you? Hilariously feeding the birds at St. Paul's Cathedral became illegal in the 21st Century due to an excessive defecation and an ever expanding avian population.Matthew Garber, who played Michael Banks, was paid 10 cents for each take in the tea party scene. He was afraid of heights, so a crew member offered to pay him a "bonus" of 10 cents for every take. Despite consulting on the entire film, P.L. Travers was not given an invitation to the Mary Poppins premiere on the 27th of August 1964 at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. She instead obtained an invitation from an executive at the Walt Disney Company and was still discussing changes that she wished to be made to the film at the after party. Walt Disney famously responded to her comments with, “Pamela, the ship has sailed.” Fans of the Disney classic Mary Poppins and Disney collectible decor will truly appreciate this thoughtful gift Give this most delightful present to a Disney fan for birthdays holidays or just about any occasion The word "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" was not created for Mary Poppins. A variation was first used in a 1949 song by Gloria Parker and Barney Young. They did sue Disney for plagiarism, but lost after the lawyers showed that a similar word had been used by Helen Herman in the "Syracuse Daily Orange", a college newspaper, on March 10, 1931. Herman wrote: "Several years ago, I concocted an expression which, to me, includes all words in the category of something wonderful...I believe that I am the sole originator of it, or at least, I have my own interpretation of its pronunciation… it implies all that is grand, great, glorious, splendid, superb, wonderful."

Travers demanded any suggestion of a romantic connection between Mary Poppins and Burt be scrapped as their relationship was purely a platonic friendship. With a hat coat carpetbag and umbrella just like her favorite nanny Mary Poppins a young girl is soaring in from the clouds just as a kite might do Plays the tune “Let’s Go Fly A Kite" There are some differences between the characters in P.L. Travers’ book Mary Poppins and the Walt Disney film.Disney is one of the most recognizable companies and brands in the world, with a long, rich history. How do you help not only preserve that history but share it with the world? The film Mary Poppins was based upon the first novel in P.L. Travers’ Mary Poppins series. It was because Walt Disney‘s daughters loved the book so much that their Father promised to make a film based upon it. The horse that Julie Andrews rides upon while on the carousel in the Jolly Holiday scene is still on display in Orlando, Florida. The carousel horse can be seen by those who are waiting in line at the Chinese Theatre for The Great Movie Ride at Hollywood Studios. This ride has since closed.
