The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story Recent Fan Reviews

  • Must Go!

    Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Documentary!

    Fascinating and informative movie about the brothers who wrote so many famous Disney (and non-Disney) songs, including Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, Spoonful of Sugar, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, it's a small world, Tiki Room, and Winnie the Pooh, among others. The film is at times funny and touching. I found myself moved to tears a few times. If you are at all interested in Disney or movie musicals, this film is a must see!

    Too bad about the limited release - very interesting story + lots of catchy tunes! I hope this movie makes it to more theaters so people have a chance to see it.

    Loved it!

    Such an interesting and untold story. I grew up loving all the music the Sherman Brothers wrote and never knew who they were. The story of the brothers strained relationship as a backdrop to so many years of amazing song writing is amazing. I recommend this movie people of all ages... If you are a fan of the Disney genre, this is a must see!*
