Some of the Sherman Brothers' best-known works include the songs from Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Jungle Book, Winnie the Pooh, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Slipper and the Rose, and "it's a small world." A self-proclaimed cartoonist, Floyd Norman has worked in motion pictures, television, comic books and strips. He's been writing and drawing cartoons longer than most people have been alive. Floyd wrote the syndicated Mickey Mouse comic strip for King Features Syndicate and worked as an animator and story artist on at least a dozen feature animated films for both Walt Disney Studios and Pixar Animation Studios.

Rezensionen

"Richard Sherman is a bona fide Disney Legend. For Disneyland's sixtieth anniversary, he composed a song based on something he remembered Walt Disney saying about the evening fireworks display at his park: he wanted to give his visitors 'a kiss goodnight.' Another Disney Legend, animator and story man Floyd Norman, was inspired to illustrate Walt's journey, from humble Midwestern beginnings to world-famous storyteller and entertainer, culminating in the creation of Disneyland. Sherman and Norman's combined efforts make this slender volume a charming addition to any Disney bookshelf. Best of all, the hardcover includes a sleeve with a CD of Ashley Brown (the gifted performer who played Mary Poppins on Broadway) singing Sherman's lovely song." -Leonard Maltin, film critic and historian
