Mary Poppins (film)
Mary Poppins is a 1964 American musical fantasy film directed by Robert Stevenson and produced by Walt Disney, with songs written and composed by the Sherman Brothers. The screenplay is by Bill Walsh and Don DaGradi, based on P. L. Travers's book series "Mary Poppins". The film, which combines live-action and animation, stars Julie Andrews in her feature film debut as Mary Poppins, who visits a dysfunctional family in London and employs her unique brand of lifestyle to improve the family's dynamic. Dick Van Dyke, David Tomlinson, and Glynis Johns are featured in supporting roles. The film was shot entirely at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California using painted London background scenes.
The Princess Diaries (film)
BrownHouse Productions was heavily involved in curating music for the film, which Kristal Brent Zook of "The Washington Post" observed "displays more girl power and ethnic flavor than the film does." Moore recorded a cover of Connie Francis' "Stupid Cupid" for the film's soundtrack. Composer John Debney was recruited to score the film. Long-time friends with Disney executive Bill Green, Green felt that Debney would be suitable for the film and proceeded to introduce him to Marshall. Debney identified "The Princess Diaries" as one of the films he is most proud to have worked on, explaining that there is an "emotional connection" that comes to mind when he thinks of the film as it reminds him of his own mother.
