Meanwhile, the writer of the original Poppins novels was at war with the film’s producer, Walt Disney, obsessed with the occult, dogged by claims of racism and accused of ruining the life of her adopted son. The actress shocked the children in the film with her swearing and by smoking on set - while co-star Dick Van Dyke was an alcoholic who struggled with suicidal thoughts even as he danced around singing “Chim Chim Cher-ee.” It was a jokey, failed bid to banish the sugary-sweet reputation she had been stuck with because of the role - but if she had actually told the truth behind the classic movie, she might have succeeded.

With their arrival, it becomes much harder for Wormold to maintain his facade. Instead of recruiting his own agents, Wormold invents agents from men he knows only by sight and sketches "plans" for a rocket-launching pad based on vacuum cleaner parts to increase his value to the service and to procure more money for himself and his expensive daughter Milly.īecause his importance grows, he is sent a secretary, Beatrice, and a radioman from London to be under his command. ![]() In pre-revolutionary Cuba, James Wormold, a vacuum cleaner salesman, is recruited by Hawthorne of the British Secret Intelligence Service to be their Havana operative.

A two-part series looking back at the presidency of Richard Nixon, 40 years after his resignation. ![]() ![]() ![]() On the surface it's an effective film about survival with relatable characters regardless of the species difference. What would have simply been a plot point in another film can be linked to how society breaks down, debate between those who want freedom from the old ways, and those who still cling on to it with power. The rabbits are constantly fighting against their environment for a better home. It explores the subject of death and survival as we experience the dangerous and tragic journey with our rabbits. The plot is very dark more so than you might expect. Telling a mature story with an adult delivery. It even goes as far as tackling sadism, fascism, and creationism into the mix. The premise despite sounding like it's aimed at children does not seccumb to downplaying its premise. Watership Down is about a group of rabbits fleeing their doomed warren and facing many dangers to find and protect their new home. Not only it is a significant piece of animation tackling real world issues, but also carries an uncommonly powerful emotional weight for such an unlikely group of character. ![]() It's more of a reflection on yourself and the nature of the living world. It's not a lighthearted or cheery family film of any sort one simply just sit back and view. With their colorful visuals and freely imaginative world this sort of escapism is the main reason Watership Down is not recognized as a classic. The animation genre is the most enduring genre for lighthearted family entertainment. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Center’s experts are leaders in unlocking archival material for a wide audience through the latest practices in digitization, library science, and public education.

Christine likes Dabrowski’s definition – “an inborn (extreme) sensitivity to life.” It is expressed in the highs and lows of emotional responses which are ever present in the life of these kids. Emotions can be so intense – even at a young age – that adults may misinterpret the cause and respond inappropriately. The term ’emotional intensity’ has often been used to describe gifted children. ![]() Christine is the author of Emotional Intensity in Gifted Students this year’s winner of TAGT’s Legacy Award in the Parent category.
