Disaster to the books
Even though I love the movie, I feel it is a complete disaster to the books. Very disaster to Travers beloved work. Poor Travers was right on everything she said. Disney tricked her. Just wanting money. It's P.L. Travers' Mary Poppins screened by Walt Disney. Not Walt Disney's Mary Poppins. All he wanted was the title. That's why I think the musical is better. And Travers would like the musical better. If you ask me, the movie is a second death to Travers' father. All giddy, happy and frolicking. That is not Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins is dark, strict and stern. Poor woman was unable to be happy the rest of her life because of it. And Disney for years has tried to make her look bad and make her out to be the bad guy when it was Disney, thinking charm WOULD force her to bow to them.
