“Bedknobs and Broomsticks” was developed at the same time as “Mary Poppins” (1964) and the number “The Beautiful Briny Sea” was originally intended to be in “Mary Poppins” but was dropped and later repurposed for “Bedknobs and Broomsticks”

The animation in “Bedknobs and Broomsticks” was headed up by two of Disney’s “Nine Old Men”: Ward Kimball (directed) and Milt Kahl (designer)

When I was a kid I loved watching this, “The Little Mermaid” and “The Incredible Mr. Limpet”.. now I’m wondering if it was a “cartoon fish” thing 🤔
