Richard Sherman's son, Gregg, writes about his perspective on Mary Poppins

[Mouse Skywalker]

I found this article written by Gregg Sherman, son of Richard Sherman, and one of the filmmakers for "the boys." It's posted on the Walt Disney Family Museum blog, and talks about his perspective on the creation of the film Mary Poppins. Thought some here might be interested.

Walt said, “Play me that bird lady song again.” As my dad sang what would later become, “Feed the Birds,” Walt looked out his north window, saying softly, “That’s what it’s all about…” That same day, as they left his office, Walt handed our dads a contract to become the first—and only—staff songwriters in the history of Walt Disney Studios.

^ That's what it's all about, indeed.

My favorite Disney song, ever....

Thanks for sharing that !

Thanks for sharing this article. It reminds me of why I grew up loving Disney. At the end of the day, it is all about family both blood relatives and loved ones alike. Thank you. Penny
