@Jennette Payne Same to you! Also, I like Emily Blunt's portrayal of Mary Poppin's better than Julie Andrew's. Her vanity is a great flaw that emphasises how good she is as a person
Speaking as a British person, Dick Van Dyke's cockney accent never bothered me. His energy and passion to the role of Bert is so spectacular that I can easily over look it.
Speaking of cockney accents, how come that everyone got bent out of shape with Dick Van Dyke's cockney accent, but not Audrey Hepburn's cockney accent in My Fair Lady? Besides the obvious.
As an American kid, I didn't know the accent was bad, but as an adult it almost seems like Burt (not Dick) is deliberately over-doing it, playfully, because he's always performing in some way. If you think of it that way, it adds to the character.
When she won the Golden Globe for her performance in Mary Poppins, Julie Andrews thanked Jack Warner, who was in the audience, for not casting her as Eliza Doolittle. A very British burn.
Ya know, I always thought that Burt was someone Marry Poppins had known when he was very young. Like she had come to his family at one point to help them, and her influence turned his world on its head and made him the man he was in the film. Happy, silly, jack of all trades, artistic, just enjoying life moment by moment. And every time Marry comes around, his world gets a little bit brighter because he knows someone else is getting a glimpse into the magic that made his life good
That theory has been around for decades. Look at his lyrics in Supercaliyouknowtheword. Assuming he's sharing his actual background, Bert had an abusive childhood until he learned that special word. Who do you think taught him? He never questions when odd things happen... because he already knows what she can do? In all his sucky jobs, he always stays cheerful, happy to do his work. And how would he know the weather conditions that bring Mary Poppins, if he hadn't seen it all before?
Burt also had magical powers but not nearly as powerful as Mary`s. He tries to get into the chalk painting but fails. As for Mary helping him as a child I doubt it. She`s too much of a snob to work for the lower classes, and they couldn`t afford her anyway. No I would say Burt, Mary and Uncle Albert are good witches and warlocks.
@@johnjames4834 But she doesn't go to families just because they can offer high pay. She goes to families that need her. If money was a serious goal, then she could just stay with one wealthy family and be set. But she doesn't. When her time with that family is done and her goal is achieved, she leaves. She does appear to be an upper class woman, but there's no guarantee that's how she always looks for every family she goes to. She is a magical being, so for all we know she could change her clothes and even physical form to suit the family she's helping. Them being witches is a pretty cool idea too, though
@@elliotludwig7487 Oh come on have you even watched the film? She is extremely fussy and would not work for chimney sweep family which could barely afford to feed themselves and not have enough money to hire a flaming nanny!!! Nannys were an upper class/middle class servant thing. Try to get your head out of the clouds or Mary might be sitting on you. Besides Burt also knows some magic and could probably take care or himself.
When Julie Andrews was filming "The Sound of Music", she would entertain the kids playing the von Trapp children by singing the songs from Mary Poppins, which she had already filmed, but had not yet been released. Having never heard the songs before, the kids thought she was just making them up.
Honestly, Audrey was perfect for "My Fair Lady" as was Julie for "Mary Poppins", "The Sound of Music", and all her glorious films and recordings. Your gifts are much appreciated.
Another fun fact, The boy that played Micheal Banks was DEATHLY afraid of heights so whenever they had to redo a scene where he would be high up they would pay him 10 cents to redo it and that’s also why when they are climbing up the stairs of smoke during the chimney scene you can see Mary poppins holding out her umbrella and micheal hanging on because he was so scared
Speaking as someone who was 6 years in 1964 when that movie was new i can tell you that Dick Van Dyke's accent made no difference to me at all! It was a children's movie and I've spoken with people who were children in the UK when the film first came out and they agreed - kids aren't critical of accents - it's the magic. And Mary Poppins HAD IT!
Of which she did an amazing job with Maria in the "Sound of Music", and as Queen Clarisse in the Princess Daries. Her acting in both movies are exceptionally astonishing.
Love this movie so much. And here's some trivia- "Feed the Birds" is said by many-even by both Richard and Robert Sherman- to be Walt Disney's favorite song. I have the soundtrack to this movie and there's an interview with the brothers as the last track. In that interview, they tell the story of how every Friday Walt would call them up to his office and they'd talk about what's going on at the studio and in their lives, etc..then Walt would turn to Richard and say "Play it" and Richard knew what he meant and he'd go play the song for him. They say that Walt said in response ot the song something akin to "That's what it's about isn't it..the smallest act of kindness can go a long way to making a big impact on someone or someplace."
Yea gods, I hate feed the birds with a vengeance. I can’t stand the film from then on. And don’t get me started on chitty chitty bang bang. Even just the name make me blood pressure rise.
@@lula7982 So why are you watching this video then. Go and watch a film about killing people instead and leave this video to those of us who like this film.
Oooooooh touchè. What a grumpy little troll you to assume you know the kind of films I like. Have you watched The Bridges of Madison county. Not a film about killing eh ....
@@ikbalmalikramadhan3939 Julie Andrews can't really sing anymore, unfortunately. She had surgery to remove nodules on her vocal cords in 1997 that went wrong. Still, it would've been nice if they'd given her at least a small role.
Another fun unknown fact: When I worked as an attractions host at Disneyland, there was a metal logo attached to the control panels on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad which read "MAYPO". That stood for the fact that Mary Poppins generated so much money for the Walt Disney Studios that an entire new division, devoted to computer technology, was enhanced and new technology was invented by the masterminds at WED or what would later become Walt Disney Imagineering.
Did they use those characters exactly? Because those also look like capital Greek letters that make up the word " MAYPO" meaning "black". Not that there is any correlation but " Until 1985, instead of a traditional production logo, the opening credits of Disney films used to feature a title card that read "Walt Disney Presents", and later, "Walt Disney Productions Presents". In Never Cry Wolf, and the pre-release versions of Splash, it showed a light blue rectangle with the name "Walt Disney Pictures" and featured a white outline rectangle framing on a black screen.Beginning with the release of The Black Cauldron on July 24, 1985, Walt Disney Pictures introduced its fantasy castle logo "...just curious about the metal logo's origin and background meaning
@@pauldelgadillo1827 you are absolutely right! They don't always translate. Was just wondering if the inscription you told us about was linked to disney's logo and black screen usage history. Have an awesome day
The bit about how the book was taken off the shelves. You could also say the same now for Little House on the Prarie and Huckleberry Finn. There is a rumour that the author's name has been removed from Little House on the Prarie reprints because of the themes within and political correctness wants to do it with Mark Twain. I'm sorry, but this is history. While it may be uncomfortable to think about by today's standards, it gives an insight into how far we have come. The same goes for To Kill a Mockingbird. The themes and complex issues the reader learns about alongside the character, including, racism, class divide and how one holds to his own principle of what is right, despite the beliefs held by others is what makes it a classic. Changing history for your own appeal doesn't make it accurate.
Heck, read any book written before 1920 and you're gonna find the "n" word there, even if the characters aren't supposed to be seen as racist. It was just the accepted word at the time. Sometimes it was meant as a slur, sometimes not (just like today).
Agreed- I dislike how things in the past (like literature and movies) are being judged by today's standards. The world use to be very different and instead of banning thing we need to be having conversations about how things change and what we do and say now and the reasons behind it. Teach progress and the history- don't ignore it and ban it!
Alana King Well said. I've loved the Little House books for over 40 years, and even as a child in elementary school, I viewed the negative views that some characters had about other people as being of that time, a century before my birth. I didn't then, and don't now, agree with many things in the books, but I still think they offer a valuable view into a period in history. I also think that those negative views can be used as learning opportunities, and conversation starters, for today's children, if an adult is prepared to treat the subject in an objective, sensitive manner.
Watch the original version and make your judgment. That laughing and floating scene only on the original was so contagiously amusing to many viewers and certainly good lasting healthy effect when I laugh too.
I tried reading the Mary Poppins books after seeing the movie, but they're really poorly written. They're just very simple little "nothing" stories without depth. The movie has depth and a lot of undercurrents that adults will understand that are missing in the books.
I always found Duck Van Dyke’s accent iconic. Then again, I saw the movie when I was young when I originally saw it, so I didn’t think much of it originally.☺️😂
Sang “Stay Awake” to my children when they were small. (My sister sang it to her daughter, too) I sing it to my patients (I’m a pedi RN), too! Everyone loves it! Thank you, Mary Poppins! So glad Julie Andrews was a soprano!! ❤️
What about how "Feed the Birds" was Walt Disney's favorite song and he convinced the elderly Jane Darwell to play the role of the bird lady. Most people probably know about Dick Van Dyke's duel role.
Juiie andrews got the part in the sound of music when the producers of the film asking disney to show them mary poppins which had not been relased at that point they were casting thier film
Wait! You didn't finish the story at the end. People were so upset that she was snubbed with My Fair Lady, that at the Oscars that year, they gave Rex Harrison the oscar for best actor, and Julie the oscar for best actress. Then there was this awkward, iconic photo of Julie Andrews with Audrey Hepburn with Julie holding her oscar.
Well, it certainly was a tough year for all the nominees. In the best actor in a leading role they nominated Anthony Quinn as Zorba (probably *the* part is remembered for), Peter Sellers as three different characters in Dr. Strangelove (a better comedian than an actor), the always watchable Peter O'Toole (8 nominations never a winner) and Richard Burton (7 nominations never a winner). Rex Harrison was a worthy winner though. I'm not sure I understand what you mean or whether you're misinformed - Audrey Hepburn wasn't nominated at all in the category best actress in a leading role. Were people outraged Audrey Hepburn wasn't even nominated? She was a modest and gracious woman who definitely wouldn't have felt offended herself. I also believe that My Fair Lady was better than Mary Poppins and a more worthy Best Picture winner. That being said it was also a very tough year for nominated films. Personally I believe Stanley Kubrick's cold war dark comedy "Dr. Strangelove - Or How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb." is one of the best movies ever made and in an ideal world it would have won - as would Kubrick for Best Director. Anyways, I can also totally understand how it didn't win considering the sensitive political climate at the time and mostly young people enjoying it. Julie Andrews really was on top of the world with Mary Poppins and then the huge success of Sound of Music the following year.
Only a few words: It's practically perfect in every way, in fact, it's so practically perfect, that you could call it supercalifradgilisticexpialidocious.
Another few things I heard about this movie is that Julie Andrews didn't take the film at first because it was too similar to The Sound of Music (a movie she did prior I think) and Angela Lansbury was considered for the role of Mary Poppins too I think. Even think even Audrey Hepburn was considered for Mary Poppins.
It's the opposite. She nearly didn't take The Sound of Music because she had just played a nanny in Poppins. Her baby daughter, Emma, was with her in Austria during filming....which is the reason she wasn't socializing with Christopher Plummer and Charmian Carr during their down time. Extra trivia.....Charmian Carr was the only actor among the "children" old enough to drink! She was 21.
@@colind3273 oh yeah! Sorry for that mixup there. Thanks for clearing that up :) I knew that Charmian Carr was 21 when she played the oldest 'child' which was very interesting nonetheless. Sadly Charmian died A few years ago due to dementia and another actress named Heather (she played one of the younger Von Trapp) died I think in 2018 or 2017 from cancer.
Well, as it's the 1964 Oscar nominee, not the (now current Emily Blunt flick), MP's not only older than TSOM but the first Julie Andrews movie. (SOM was released by 20th Century Fox in the next year.)
You know, people get so mad when the movie is different from the book, but I seriously think it’s a copy righted issue. I haven’t read Mary Poppins only seen the movie, but I love it. It’s an amazing classic. I seriously hope that the sequel to Mary Poppins will be good. After seeing the Nutcracker movie and not liking it, I’m a little worried.
Well, maybe (on copyright). But books don't translate as well (same with audio--old radio shows, and the Chipmunks since 1958 have entraced folks as characters, so when the albums came out and the 1961 and 1983 show and more recent movies, it's a miracle since people were now SEEING those.Same with books.) And a Nanny doing some of those, the book couldn't do all that, and some of the things had to be made happier (the thing that P.L. also hated a lot..from the SAVING MR.BANKS movie on P.L turning down charming Mary: Tom Hanks as Walt Disney:"No MAGIC, no SUNNINESS..hmmm././THIS comes right from an author well known for flying nannies and parrot umbrellas that talk.! LOL)
Look into her connections to either Doctor Who’s TimeLords Or. Harry Potter type witches. Hermione from HP seems to be teen & modernized version of her.
This is one of the best movie ever. I’m so sad they decided to make a sequel 60 years later bc Julie Andrews is the one and only Mary Poppins. Though I love Emily Blunt, she’ll never be as good as Andrews is 😩💕
Fun fact(I saw online):As you said the author of the book hated the movie so much that she banned them from making any type of sequal to it...they waited for her to die so they can make "Mary Poppins Returns"
it's funny you say that because CCBB feels like a continuation of MP. It's like seeing the life of Burt after the events of MP. Even the love interest in that movie looks a bit and sounds very much like Julie Andrews. And to think CCBB was written by Ian Fleming and produced by Albert Broccoli.
You know what's funny? I am from India and am watching this video about a British character while doing my History work, writing about India in 1870's to 1947. :-) Mary Poppins is amazing though. I love her She's practically perfect in every way
Travers eventually warmed up to the movie after seeing it again in the 1980s. She even signed off for a musical as long as it had no involvement with the film or used American actors. After Travers' death Disney was able to get involved and began workshopping in the early 2000s.
I was just watching original marry poppins movie last night xD tho I have never watched saving Mr banks. I always wanted to watch it but could never find the movie.
@@leilanisunsets1362, I have not seen the new movie. I am a little worried it will not be nearly as good as the first. I don't think anything can compare. I so love Dick VanDyke.
Bad cockney accent or not, the original movie is practically perfect in every way. Not enough has been said about the performance of David Tomlinson as Mr. Banks. He should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
Late reply here. I agree about David Tomlinson's performance as Mr. Banks. He should have received an Oscar nomination as well. I never saw Mr. Banks as the villain, just a father who needed his eyes opened. It is actually Bert who finishes the job that Mary started. Mr. Banks had never met Bert until he was cleaning the Banks fireplace. With Mr. Banks at his most vulnerable, it is Bert who gently reminds him that he needs to think about his children--that he needs to get to know his kids and be there for them before they grow up and leave him. Would Mr. Banks have accepted this advice from Mary if she had offered it? I'm not sure, and I'm not sure if Mary would have since she is the employee. Perhaps this is where Bert as the outsider is effectively used. Mary comes in to shake up the Banks household and introduces fun and imagination even though she denies that she is doing it. It is Bert who reminds Mr. Banks about his children and reminds Jane and Michael that their father is a human being and needs their support.
Truly beautiful film movie, when did julie Andrew had her baby when did film start and end. Love soundtrack and film movie 100%. So glad she did this film movie two thumbs up 👍👍. So many years , still one greatest classic film movie today. Thank you.
Julie's baby Emma was born November 1962. The live action filming for Mary Poppins was in the spring and summer of 1963. There was a lot of post-production work to add all the animation so it was not premiered until August 1964. It was on general release in late 1964 and throughout 1965 (often at the same time as the Sound of Music so Julie was competing in two simultaneous hit movies). It won 5 Oscars in spring 1965.
$4 - $6 million was not a modest budget in 1964. It was pretty much in line with films of the time period. And before anyone says anything. CLEOPATRA was an "outlier".
Mary is not a witch or time traveler. She is some sort of guardian angel. She sings about the saints and apostles smiling down on caring humans. That explains it.
I'm looking forward to seeing the remake or sequel but there will never be anything better than the beautiful and talented Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins. No disrespect intended to the new cast.
Love the original Mary. Poppins, Julie Andrews was flawless, from acting to singing interacting with the puppets she made them look real! I love her speaking voice from being sweet to stern, I just love her

I tried reading the Mary Poppins books after seeing the movie, but they're really poorly written. They're just very simple little "nothing" stories without depth. The movie has depth and a lot of undercurrents that adults will understand that are missing in the books.
Probably the best example of better movie than book in existence. Yes, the books are dreadful.
But, did you read them as an adult or as a kid. I've read them as kid and I thought they were wonderful (and ok, thats also 25 years ago but yeah :P )
I do like what Bert says at the end of the movie "Goodbye, Mary Poppins, don't stay away too long.", It took her over 50 years to come back 🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of my ALL TIME favorite movies, going to go watch it now, bye👀👋😄
I have a theory, Mary Poppins and Harry Potter take place in the same universe and Mary Poppins is a witch
I always found Duck Van Dyke’s accent iconic. Then again, I saw the movie when I was young when I originally saw it, so I didn’t think much of it originally.☺️😂
No, the Cockney accent is not ideal.
But, van Dyke does a very good job playing Bert and he seemed to enjoy it.
So, who cares?!
Sang “Stay Awake” to my children when they were small. (My sister sang it to her daughter, too) I sing it to my patients (I’m a pedi RN), too! Everyone loves it! Thank you, Mary Poppins! So glad Julie Andrews was a soprano!! ❤️
Mary Poppins is a Time Lord!!!!!
Robanah 😄
What about how "Feed the Birds" was Walt Disney's favorite song and he convinced the elderly Jane Darwell to play the role of the bird lady. Most people probably know about Dick Van Dyke's duel role.
wouldn't have been funny if P. Travers herself played the part of the old lady feeding the birds.
I got my authentic Mary P. umbrella from H.S.N. recently . What a beautiful item complete with parrot handle !
“Goodbye Mary Poppins. Don’t stay away too long”
She obviously didn’t listen... 54 years... 25 in the movie.
One of my all-time favorite movies! May it last through generations to come, for families to enjoy ! 😍❤️🌹
Juiie andrews got the part in the sound of music when the producers of the film asking disney to show them mary poppins which had not been relased at that point they were casting thier film
I love how casual they were about the sequel.
My favorite song from Mary Poppins .........................Supercalifragilisticexpialidociuos. That was mouth full
The sound of it is something quite atrocious
Mines too
I loved the film saving mr banks very sad. Feed the birds brings tears to my eyes.
Him,a dancer......he could out dance me anytime and his singing is great
Wait! You didn't finish the story at the end. People were so upset that she was snubbed with My Fair Lady, that at the Oscars that year, they gave Rex Harrison the oscar for best actor, and Julie the oscar for best actress. Then there was this awkward, iconic photo of Julie Andrews with Audrey Hepburn with Julie holding her oscar.
Well, it certainly was a tough year for all the nominees. In the best actor in a leading role they nominated Anthony Quinn as Zorba (probably *the* part is remembered for), Peter Sellers as three different characters in Dr. Strangelove (a better comedian than an actor), the always watchable Peter O'Toole (8 nominations never a winner) and Richard Burton (7 nominations never a winner). Rex Harrison was a worthy winner though.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean or whether you're misinformed - Audrey Hepburn wasn't nominated at all in the category best actress in a leading role. Were people outraged Audrey Hepburn wasn't even nominated? She was a modest and gracious woman who definitely wouldn't have felt offended herself.
I also believe that My Fair Lady was better than Mary Poppins and a more worthy Best Picture winner. That being said it was also a very tough year for nominated films. Personally I believe Stanley Kubrick's cold war dark comedy "Dr. Strangelove - Or How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb." is one of the best movies ever made and in an ideal world it would have won - as would Kubrick for Best Director. Anyways, I can also totally understand how it didn't win considering the sensitive political climate at the time and mostly young people enjoying it.
Julie Andrews really was on top of the world with Mary Poppins and then the huge success of Sound of Music the following year.
Only a few words: It's practically perfect in every way, in fact, it's so practically perfect, that you could call it supercalifradgilisticexpialidocious.
$4-$6 million in the early ‘60s isn’t modest - that’s a blockbuster movie!
Very much so. The original was a blockbuster movie . Their MP Returns didn’t do as they anticipated & wanted.
I've seen MP at least 50 times and I don't get tired of it........classic
She’s such a queen- & not just of Ginovia
I 💘 this 🎥 despite it's flaws and controversies and the behind the scenes.
I just realised Michael looks like a mini version of George.
chim chim cheery, chim chim cher roo…..
Brittany j Taylor -. The song and dancing was my favorite part!!!!
Another few things I heard about this movie is that Julie Andrews didn't take the film at first because it was too similar to The Sound of Music (a movie she did prior I think) and Angela Lansbury was considered for the role of Mary Poppins too I think. Even think even Audrey Hepburn was considered for Mary Poppins.
It's the opposite. She nearly didn't take The Sound of Music because she had just played a nanny in Poppins. Her baby daughter, Emma, was with her in Austria during filming....which is the reason she wasn't socializing with Christopher Plummer and Charmian Carr during their down time. Extra trivia.....Charmian Carr was the only actor among the "children" old enough to drink! She was 21.
@@colind3273 oh yeah! Sorry for that mixup there. Thanks for clearing that up :) I knew that Charmian Carr was 21 when she played the oldest 'child' which was very interesting nonetheless. Sadly Charmian died A few years ago due to dementia and another actress named Heather (she played one of the younger Von Trapp) died I think in 2018 or 2017 from cancer.
Well, as it's the 1964 Oscar nominee, not the (now current Emily Blunt flick), MP's not only older than TSOM but the first Julie Andrews movie. (SOM was released by 20th Century Fox in the next year.)
Thank You for information. Mary Poppins and Sound of Music is truly my favorite film movies
Maybe its because I haven't seen the movie in at least a decade, but I have zero memory of that talking umbrella handle.
Julie Andrews though is a fantastic actress. Even I born in the 90s loved Mary popping and chitty chitty bang bang
You know, people get so mad when the movie is different from the book, but I seriously think it’s a copy righted issue. I haven’t read Mary Poppins only seen the movie, but I love it. It’s an amazing classic. I seriously hope that the sequel to Mary Poppins will be good. After seeing the Nutcracker movie and not liking it, I’m a little worried.
Well, maybe (on copyright). But books don't translate as well (same with audio--old radio shows, and the Chipmunks since 1958 have entraced folks as characters, so when the albums came out and the 1961 and 1983 show and more recent movies, it's a miracle since people were now SEEING those.Same with books.) And a Nanny doing some of those, the book couldn't do all that, and some of the things had to be made happier (the thing that P.L. also hated a lot..from the SAVING MR.BANKS movie on P.L turning down charming Mary: Tom Hanks as Walt Disney:"No MAGIC, no SUNNINESS..hmmm././THIS comes right from an author well known for flying nannies and parrot umbrellas that talk.! LOL)
I honestly have no recollection of the animated scenes from Mary poppins
My question though is what is Mary Poppins. Is she a witch or angel
Timelord!!
I prefer her a a witch ❤️👌🏽
She's a blue alien
Look into her connections to either Doctor Who’s TimeLords
Or. Harry Potter type witches. Hermione from HP seems to be teen & modernized version of her.
Magical lady
Saw Mary Poppins Returns, and while it was great, there weren’t any memorable songs in the sequel. Emily Blunt did a great job though.
I cant wait until December to see the return of Mary Poppins!
I love Emily, but Julie is just magical.
This is one of the best movie ever. I’m so sad they decided to make a sequel 60 years later bc Julie Andrews is the one and only Mary Poppins. Though I love Emily Blunt, she’ll never be as good as Andrews is 😩💕
Fun fact(I saw online):As you said the author of the book hated the movie so much that she banned them from making any type of sequal to it...they waited for her to die so they can make "Mary Poppins Returns"
Oh yes the modest budget of LITERALLY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
great job disney, great job
Wow 1964 actress was perfect. Jesus really shows off with his creations sometimes
0:42 *NEXT UP! CHINESE MARY POPPINS!!*
I can't wait to see Lin-Manuel Miranda in the new version!💗
Now do something about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
it's funny you say that because CCBB feels like a continuation of MP. It's like seeing the life of Burt after the events of MP. Even the love interest in that movie looks a bit and sounds very much like Julie Andrews. And to think CCBB was written by Ian Fleming and produced by Albert Broccoli.
I LOVE Saving Mr Banks! My fave Disney movie!
You know what's funny? I am from India and am watching this video about a British character while doing my History work, writing about India in 1870's to 1947. :-) Mary Poppins is amazing though. I love her She's practically perfect in every way
Travers eventually warmed up to the movie after seeing it again in the 1980s. She even signed off for a musical as long as it had no involvement with the film or used American actors. After Travers' death Disney was able to get involved and began workshopping in the early 2000s.
I was just watching original marry poppins movie last night xD tho I have never watched saving Mr banks. I always wanted to watch it but could never find the movie.
Saving Mr. Banks is an excellent movie, and gives some good insight into the miserable life that P. L. Travers endured.
I truly would recommend watching it.
@@denagervino5872 how do you find the movie
@@leilanisunsets1362, I have not seen the new movie. I am a little worried it will not be nearly as good as the first. I don't think anything can compare. I so love Dick VanDyke.
I found Saving Mr. Banks in the "$5 bin" at Walmart. I'm sure if you can't find it in a store, it's available somewhere online.
Love it all--the original and the sequel!
I must watch Mary Poppins again, on DVD. It came out in 1964, the same year that I did. I must then watch Mary Poppins Returns.
Bad cockney accent or not, the original movie is practically perfect in every way. Not enough has been said about the performance of David Tomlinson as Mr. Banks. He should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
Late reply here. I agree about David Tomlinson's performance as Mr. Banks. He should have received an Oscar nomination as well. I never saw Mr. Banks as the villain, just a father who needed his eyes opened.
It is actually Bert who finishes the job that Mary started. Mr. Banks had never met Bert until he was cleaning the Banks fireplace. With Mr. Banks at his most vulnerable, it is Bert who gently reminds him that he needs to think about his children--that he needs to get to know his kids and be there for them before they grow up and leave him. Would Mr. Banks have accepted this advice from Mary if she had offered it? I'm not sure, and I'm not sure if Mary would have since she is the employee. Perhaps this is where Bert as the outsider is effectively used. Mary comes in to shake up the Banks household and introduces fun and imagination even though she denies that she is doing it. It is Bert who reminds Mr. Banks about his children and reminds Jane and Michael that their father is a human being and needs their support.
Really wonderful facts and fun tid bits thank you
I love the old Mary poppies
Both fabulous movies Julie Andews n Emily Blunt darlings legends ❤❤💥🌟
Omg this movie was awesome 😎❤️❤️ I’d love to watch it someday with my own son when he’s a little older. I can’t wait for the new Mary Poppins movie 🍿
I'm sorry, don't like the 2018 version....I grew up on the original , I still have it on VHS😳
Truly beautiful film movie, when did julie Andrew had her baby when did film start and end. Love soundtrack and film movie 100%. So glad she did this film movie two thumbs up 👍👍. So many years , still one greatest classic film movie today. Thank you.
Julie's baby Emma was born November 1962. The live action filming for Mary Poppins was in the spring and summer of 1963. There was a lot of post-production work to add all the animation so it was not premiered until August 1964. It was on general release in late 1964 and throughout 1965 (often at the same time as the Sound of Music so Julie was competing in two simultaneous hit movies). It won 5 Oscars in spring 1965.
$4 - $6 million was not a modest budget in 1964. It was pretty much in line with films of the time period. And before anyone says anything. CLEOPATRA was an "outlier".
Why if left out one interesting fact. Apparently Julie Andrews like this sweater one hell of a lot. And that to almost cost her the role.
Loved This Movie🌷💞
Mary is not a witch or time traveler. She is some sort of guardian angel. She sings about the saints and apostles smiling down on caring humans. That explains it.
I'm looking forward to seeing the remake or sequel but there will never be anything better than the beautiful and talented Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins. No disrespect intended to the new cast.
“Poppins... Never ever just Mary”
When did the 2018 sequel come out? I didn’t even know it had come out until it was mentioned in this video
it comes out in December
Yes, in theaters December the 19th in America I believe and Christmas Eve in Europe
12/19.
MsMojo this movie is my all time favorite
One of my favorite movies!
Very very great list I like it a lot and a lot of fun too and one of the best movies ever
Thank you a lot for like my comment
Jane and Michael were never told about the "surprises" that they saw...Their dumbfounded looks and shrieks were real and not staged
Mrs Banks had 5 kids at least. Miss Poppins came back with each addition to the growing Banks Clan. There were at least two books that I’ve read
Love mary poppins n sound of music julie andrews has a great voice
Love the original Mary. Poppins, Julie Andrews was flawless, from acting to singing interacting with the puppets she made them look real! I love her speaking voice from being sweet to stern, I just love her
I love this movie! 😍😍 Have to see the second one too :))
Feed the Birds and Stay Awake are the only songs that P.L. Travers approved of.
PL Travers actually liked "Feed the Birds."
Im Mary Poppins Y'All!!!
CHILD: "Mary Poppins, Jack Turner pushed me into the mud today!"
MARY POPPINS: (starts whistling.)
I am Groot!
