From a Academy Award winning compositions for Mary Poppins such as ‘A Spoonful of Sugar’, ‘Feed a Birds’, ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’, ‘Jolly Holiday’, ‘I Love to Laugh’ and ‘Let’s Go Fly a Kite’, to other landmark Disney works such as The Parent Trap, ‘It’s a Small World (After All)’, ‘I Wanna Be Like You’ (The Jungle Book), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Aristocats, Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Winnie a Pooh, a Sherman Brothers have fascinated people of all ages for half a century.
