| | Perseverance Led To Walt Disney's SuccessWritten by Stephen Schochet
Continued from page 1
After years of being more personally involved with Disneyland and less on movies, Walt's personal touch was involved with every aspect of Mary Poppins. Ever since filming Treasure Island there he fallen in love with London, to Mary Poppins he added sidewalk painting fantasy sequence, one-man band and amazing chimney sweep dance over rooftops. Most important, Walt was model for character of father, a man with a gruff exterior who sometimes could not see past his own problems but was a nice guy underneath it all, and like Walt himself had big problem's with banks. Walt Disney's long perseverance paid off, critically and financially Mary Poppins was greatest success of his life. This was in 1964, 20 years after he read book and two years before he passed away. Julie Andrews even received Jack Warner's vote towards her academy award for best actress! The stockholders, bankers and employees were almost as thrilled as Walt himself.
