Is there a thread on this? I searched and didn’t find one. It’s strange when I typed “prop” into the search for topic title only, this thread didn’t show up.

I’ve only watched the first episode so far (on Mary Poppins) but what a treasure.

Here are some highlights of the Mary Poppins episode:

Richard Sherman playing “Feed the Birds” in Walt’s office. So so special.

Dee Dee Woods still has the cardboard penguins they used during filming to aid the actors with sightlines!

Honestly, some pretty sexy footage of the dancers rehearsing “Step in Time.” It must have been real hot in Burbank in the 60’s...

The story of how Mary Poppins’ carpet bag was preserved is really surprising!

Seeing Tony Walton interact with his original sketches and costume pieces almost 60 years later gave. me. chills.

Karen Dotrice makes an appearance and starts to cry and makes me want to cry.

***

Lots of love and care put into this first episode. I’m looking forward to watching the rest of the series today.

I watched 5 of the eight episodes and this documentary series is GREAT!
I'd like to see more of that only when the time will allow it

There hasn't been too much fuss about it, but it got me more excited than the Mandalorian series (which seems to exist only because they have not too much else to release for now, but hey I might be looking for this one too)
