Illinois connection to Walt Disney and Mary Poppins

Walt Disney grew up, partly, in Illinois. The first person to get P. L. Travers to admit that she didn't really like the Disney version of her popular book Mary Poppins was from Illinois State University. I spoke about these connections to ISU's Media Relations in a nice article by Rachel Hatch. Here's the link: http://mediarelations.illinoisstate.edu/report/1314/march4/disney.asp
