Rob Marshall, Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda mention some of the songs that didn't make it into the film in
this interview.
At least we know the titles of two deleted songs now. "The Anthropomorphic Zoo" and "Stuff and Nonsense". It's perplexing as to why they didn't give the movie a deluxe edition soundtrack. It would have been a great opportunity to share some of the deleted songs. Not to mention, an expanded score instead of wasting it on a FYC CD.

Speaking of awards, I was wondering if it would be possible for the film to get an Annie nomination for its animated sequence, but I didn't expect it would get five!: Character Animation, Character Design, Production Design, Storyboarding and Best Animated Special Production. I hope it wins at least one of them.
That's because Ken Duncan submitted the sequence himself (unlike AMPAS, ASIFA-Hollywood allows filmmakers to submit their own work). I doubt Disney would have cared enough to do so.

Congrats to the animators that Duncan Studio submitted, for their Annie Nomination (Poppins)!

Apparently, Disney is in the habit of purposefully mishandling budgets allocated to third-party VFX houses it hires to work on live-action movies in order to save a buck and as a result those studios often end-up bankrupt and are forced to shut down.

I‘m going to discuss something here that I heard in a public space, at the Poppins screening...It was something surprising, but also affirming. Disney Pictures treated Duncan Studio in a strange way during the making of the animated sequences. We were considered a VFX house (we think of ourselves as an animation studio). As we know, several VFX houses have been put out of business after working on a Disney Pictures film (not Disney Animation), i.e. Rhythm & Hues, Café FX, etc. We experienced a rather unsympathetic Disney accountant on the Poppins production (among others). On Thursday after arriving at the theater, this accountant saw me in the restroom before the screening. Several minutes later, Juliet and I made our way to our seats. The people next to us, and behind us were turned away and chatting rather loudly. I don’t think they saw us seated. I heard someone say, “…Duncan, the guys that did the 2D animation…”. It was the accountant, saying he saw me earlier...or to that effect. Then, his wife said rather loudly, “Duncan Studio, well you shut them down didn’t you?” (closed down) and then laughed.
Wow! There it was! This somewhat affirms how we were treated on this project, and what we assumed their objective was. Well, we haven’t been SHUT DOWN, bitches!!….and there’s more to say about this.
P.S. Rob Marshall and Jim Capobianco did not behave this way. They were about the art. Very cool.

It is Hollywood Ken. One day while walking down the hallway at Disney I ran into Phil Lafaro and a bunch of executives. Lafaro looked at me with scorn, reached into his pocket pulled out a dollar bill and threw it at my feet and said "Pick it up". The executives laughed as they walked by. I just stared at him. That is Hollywood.
