15 Mind-Blowing Disney Movie Facts

7. Disney And Dachau

One of the key driving creative forces behind Mary Poppins had a major part to play in one of the most notorious moments in the Second World War.

Disney songwriter Robert Sherman, who helped compose Disney anthem "It's A Small World After All" and was a key player in writing the Poppins soundtrack, was one of the officers who led the first US troops in to liberate Dachau.

There's another military link in Disney too, as the child actor who did the voice of Bambi as a young boy, Donnie Dunagan, went on to become the youngest ever drill instructor in Marines history, and served three tours in Vietnam.
