Plot
In The Untold Story of Mary Poppins, every part of the making of the now iconic film will be unveiled. Disney first became interested in the books by P.L. Travers thanks to his daughters Sharon and Diane. He inquired about the film rights in 1938 and then again in 1944, but the author didn’t like quite a few ideas for the film.
For one, Travers was resistant to the idea of putting animation in the film and also wanted to approve the script herself, which Disney wasn’t in favor of. However, things worked out in 1959 when Disney paid Travers’ asking price of $750,000 and also let her approve the script.
Moreover, she also got a part of the film’s profits. But that was just the first part of the hurdle. To bring the fantastical nature of the film to life, stop-motion animation, audio-animatronics, and trick photography were used. The studio also used the revolutionary sodium vapor possess to combine filmed pictures with drawings.
The documentary offers a more detailed look into these processes and more. Yet, despite all the hurdles, when Andrews looks back on the film, she does so with fondness and love. In an interview with ABC News, Andrews said, “It's entertaining on so many levels, and I think adults can enjoy it as much as children.”
