[Bob Weaver]

Thanks everyone for your answers. The Sound of Music isn't a Disney film, but I read that Walt did like that film a lot. Julie Andrews did it a year after doing Disney's Mary Poppins, for which she won an Academy Award. In between those two, she filmed The Americanization of Emily, in which she is also excellent even without signing a note.

[#1DisneyFreak]

So Bob, are we going to get your opinions?? :) I'm curious to see all your answers!
