Sherman Brothers
On May 21, 2011, the Sherman Brothers were each awarded honorary doctorate degrees in Fine Arts from their alma mater, Bard College.  This was Robert's second honorary doctorate.  His first was granted by Lincoln College on May 12, 1990.  Robert's critically acclaimed autobiography, Moose: Chapters From My Life was published after his death by AuthorHouse Publishers on November 27, 2013 in anticipation of the release of the Walt Disney Pictures movie Saving Mr. Banks. Set in 1961 and based on the stories behind the original development meetings for Disney's movie version of Mary Poppins, Saving Mr. Banks features actors BJ Novak as Robert Sherman and Jason Schwartzman as Richard Sherman.
