Infamously, PL Travers almost stopped Walt Disney from including the animated sequences and the musical numbers in Mary Poppins, but the great man convinced her to relent and a classic was born. What is less well-known is the fact that Uncle Walt was on the other side of that decision

The spaghetti date scene is without doubt the most famous moment in Disney's 1955 animation, but Walt Disney himself thought the whole idea was a bit far-fetched and initially cut it from the film's first storyboards.

"Walt wasn't convinced that that would be a very clean-cut scene," former Disney archivist Steven Vagnini told Yahoo Movies. "As you can imagine, if you have two pets and they eat a plate of spaghetti, it's hard to envision that being too graceful."
