Third prize
was an eight-millimeter camera. Second prize, a portable TV. And first prize, the Mary Poppins carpet bag... with ten grand stuffed inside. As it turns out,
the lucky winner just wanted the cash, so the guy from the ad company
who delivered the bag wound up taking it home,
where it sat in his attic, gathering dust for the next 40 years. Until one day
it was properly identified, and through a series of events
and various people, including yours truly, it found its way home
to the Disney Archives. This is an example of not only her magic,
but Disney's magic to accomplish -that shot...
-REBECCA: Right. DAN: ...in a way
that is totally convincing. -REBECCA: Absolutely.
-Mm-hmm. It's not a prop, it's history
