Mixing animation with live action and adding musical elements to the film were also a particularly sore spot for Travers. Her biggest complaint was that the film's version of Mary Poppins was too nice. But Travers didn't share the sentiment, frustrated by the child-friendly direction that the Sherman brothers, Richard and Robert, along with writer Don DaGradi, wanted to take the film. Most authors would be thrilled to have a company like Disney adapt their work onto the big screen, even if it isn't identical to their book.
However, the adaption took far more work than many films as it was a struggle to get Travers to sign over the rights to the book. Travers wrote the book about the fantastical nanny who saves the Banks family in 1934, and it was eventually adapted into a film by Disney in 1964. Even though Mary Poppinsis a Disney classic, the original author of the book it was based on hated the Disney movie.
