The New Yorker on P. L. Travers, Walt Disney, and Mary Poppins. I disagree with the article's interpretation of the movie's treatment of the Mrs. Banks character—"Votes for Women" as the tail of the kite was a character change for Mr. Banks, not Mrs. Banks—but the article implies that that interpretation, among many other things, is one that Disney wanted and Travers despised.

Thanks for noting that... that bothered me when I read the article too.
