[post_page_title]Mary Poppins[/post_page_title]
The majority of the difficult journey behind bringing Mary Poppins to the bring screen, happened years before shooting even started. And that’s because P.L. Travers, the author who invented this beloved nanny, refused to sell Walt Disney the movie rights.
Disney pursued the rights for over twenty years, culminating in a long series of one-on-one meetings with Travers in the early 1960s. She eventually agreed, partly due to her desperately needing the money. And luckily, her reluctantly agreeing led to a movie both her and the entire world fell in love with.
