    I found it very emotional, heart warming and reflecting.
  • Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
    A documentary film about the lives of the famous composers, Robert and Richard Sherman that was directed and produced by their sons. This movie is well put together and includes relevant interviews and narration from the sons. There was a lot of information I did not know about this famous duo and I’m glad to have watched this film. I think this movie is worth your time.

    As a Disney Fan, I really enjoy this. Since I was a kid, I was very fond of the Sherman Brothers and there music. Finally watching this documentary has given me a inside look to the people behind the music. Highly Recommend!

    In the tradition of "behind every magical career is an unfortunate truth", the Sherman Bros. sibling rivalry may have only been gently touched, but this is all the same an essential Disney documentary.

    Akin to the honorably gifted documentary "Frank and Ollie" but with more acceptable consistency, the Sherman Brothers received a similar, inspiringly prompted treatment in this revealing documentary detailing their personal lives and musical collaboration whereas the lyrics really reflect their respective journeys. Not only does the documentary unveils their brotherly relationship besides their well-known musical passion, it theoretically brought up a realization that they're the head of our childhood's music department before selective couple partnerships contemporarily take the helm. At times mutually emotional and whimsical, but also, from our spectating perspective, wonderful with grateful reminiscent. (A)

    As a movie? Meh. It too often veers off course to tell us something that doesn't seem pertinent to the compelling central story. However, as a capture of two truly incredible men's work? Priceless.

    Great documentary on Richard and Robert Sherman, who wrote loads of songs for Disney movies, and their difficult fraternal relationship. Recommended!

    An amazing documentary on the songwriting duo who brought us the wonderful songs from such films like Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
