The Sherman Brothers wrote countless songs for Walt Disney’s theme parks, films, and television, but one stood out as Walt’s personal favorite. On Friday afternoons, Walt would invite the Shermans to his office. They’d share a glass of scotch and chat for a while, then Walt would ask Richard to play it. Richard always knew what he wanted to hear: Feed the Birds from Mary Poppins, a song about how meaningful a small gesture can be. | Disney History Channel

Richard and Robert Sherman helped bring 'Mary Poppins' to life with their unforgettable songs. In a new 20/20 special, the Sherman Brothers' sons reflect on their fathers' collaboration with Walt Disney and how an early recording of 'Feed the Birds' helped transform the story for film. Watch the “The Untold Story of Mary Poppins - A Special Edition of 20/20” airing tonight at 9/8c on ABC, and streaming the next day on Hulu.
