Dan Kois Washington Post The film holds their Disney songs in such high esteem, and discusses them with such little context, that The Boys sometimes feels as though it is set in Disneyland, not the real world. Rated: 2/4 •  Nov 6, 2009 Full Review Greg Quill Toronto Star The story of the men who wrote them in the golden age of Walt Disney Studios' movie musicals, brothers Robert and Richard Sherman, is one of the most fascinating chronicles of creative partnership never told. Rated: 3/4 •  Aug 21, 2009 Full Review

Gary c I found it very emotional, heart warming and reflecting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/25 Full Review Dale R 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鈥檓 glad to have watched this film. I think this movie is worth your time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review
