On this day in 1964, Walt Disney’s movie adaptation of Pamela Lyndon Travers’ book Mary Poppins. Although a praised classic among many, this movie was almost not made at all. Travers was extremely hesitant to give Disney the rights to make the movie, as she feared he would make a mockery of her books. However, she eventually came around on the grounds that she would have script approval power. The film stared Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins) and Dick Van Dyke (Bert) with music written by Robert and Richard Sherman. The songs became a hit with adults and kids alike and even Disney himself! His favorite song was “Feed the Birds” and often would request the Sherman brothers play it for him. This film also pushed boundaries in the artistic world with the scenes of animation side by side with live action actors. It also slightly dived into feminists ideas with Winnifred Banks being a strong advocate for women’s voting rights. This movie has been a favorite of mine for many years and the passion I have for it has been shared by so many others!

Is anyone else lowkey really disappointed with the AGGGTM TV show? I feel like they really messed up on some aspects like Nat's ENTIRE PERSONALITY?? I also really am bummed that they did not have the scene where Pip and Ravi did not recreate the timeline, how could they skip that?? I really wish they stayed closer to the book...
