August 29, 1964 –
Walt Disney’s Mary Poppins opened in general release on this date. This is first movie I ever saw (but not on this date.)
When founder and (now former) chief archivist at the Walt Disney Archives Dave Smith went on a search for the snowglobe from this movie, which featured birds flying around Saint Paul’s Cathedral, he finally found it on a shelf in a janitor’s office. The janitor explained that he saw the snowglobe sitting in a trash can, but found it too pretty to throw away and kept it himself.
