Following the huge, unparalleled success of the 1964 live-action and animation adaptation of P.L. Travers' books, the Walt Disney Company named its manufacturing unit MAPO. The official description of this acronym was 'Manufacturing and Production Organization' but everyone knew it was short for Mary Poppins, the film that cemented the Disney company as 'it'.
40 years following, the wonderful folks (namely Randy Thornton) have reproduced 'it' with their new Mary Poppins Special Edition Soundtrack. For the first time, avid listeners have available to them parts of the underscore and rare views into the process of the storyline creation. In short, a real treat. It made my day.
How to make my day?
Mention Clint Eastwood? No, just
Say Mary Poppins!
