I have seen "Mary Poppins" about 200 times since it was released in 1964. I saw it with my family at Christmas time when it was re-released for the 1964 holiday season and I saw it again when it was released in the theaters in the Summer of 1980 and I bought it on VHS tape when it was released on home video a few months later. I introduced the movie to my father who had never seen it before and it became an instant favorite of his.The VHS tape got so worn-out from my family's repeated viewings that I had to buy another copy of the tape after a few months. The VHS tape was used as an electronic babysitter for the grandchildren that followed in the household. "Mary Poppins" is a timeless classic.
Uncle Albert is the same one who voiced The Mad Hatter in Alice In Wonderland. One can hear it in his voice. Fun fact: Dick Van Dyke also played George Banks' boss, the bank president.
This movie saved the Disney company. Walt and Roy Disney took on a tremendous amount of debt at the film studio, as well as funding Disneyland. Walt bet everything he had left on this movie. It was a huge success. It won multiple Oscar’s, the profits dug the company out of debt, and paved the way for Disneyland’s success. Every carousel has a “lead horse.” One that leads all the others. Disney honored Julie Andrews by painting a custom coat of arms that honors Julie and her portrayal of Mary Poppins on the lead horse of the King Arthur carousel in Disneyland. The lead horse is called “Jingles” as it is adorned with bells. Not only is Julie Andrew’s a part of Disney film history, but she is a part of Disneyland’s history as well.
@@nager1997 yes and no. The only part of the Disney company that is sustainably profitable is the Disney parks / experiences/ products division. The rest is in the red. The company is separated into segments. If you are stating that Disney has a huge debt, then yes they do. And the only segment that can reliably pay that debt is the parks division.
I also watched Saving Mr Banks after that I went out and got the complete Merry Poppins works.It was a really good read.Great reaction as all ways I really enjoyed your reaction.
I say this to everyone who I have seen reacted to Mary Poppins latey, you should watch "Saving Mr. Banks" next! It's the story about the author who wrote Mary Poppins P.L Travers and how Disney came to the rights of and making the movie. It's a wonderful movie but be sure to bring tissues cause it's a real tear jerker! Cheers!
Love Glynis. She was in The Court Jester with Danny Kaye. One of my favourite films as a kid. It also has Basil Rathbone hamming up his Guy of Gisborne from The Adventures of Robin Hood.
Even though Julie Andrews perfected the role of Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady on Broadway she was overlooked by Jack Warner who chose Audrey Hepburn to fill the role in the film adaptation. Julie Andrews would have the last laugh as she took home both the Golden Globe and the Oscar for best actress in 1965. If you want to know the story of how Walt Disney convinced P.L. Travers to give him the rights to Mary Poppins and transform it to the silver screen then have a look at “Saving Mr. Banks” (2013) starring Tom Hanks as Disney and Emma Thompson as Travers.
I actually liked this a lot more as an adult than when I saw it as a kid. A lot of the dialogue and lyrics went over my head, and I found Mary Poppins to be TOO firm. Now I see that (most of) the other characters could sense that. The story also humorously commented on class issues, English imperialism, and various political ideologies.
(Did you know) Just _this_ week, the movie 'Mary Poppins' has been reclassified here in the UK as NOT suitable to be watched alone by children. (Incredible). Now (should it be shown in movie theatres), children _must_ be accompanied by adults, who are to give 'Parental Guidance'. ¿que? The reason for this over-reach, is that _Admiral Boom_ refers to the black-face chimney sweeps as 'Hottentots' ...which (I never knew) is colonialist slang for certain African tribes back in the day. Who knew? Despite this now virtually unknown fact, I'm guessing that it's about THIS point that Parentals are supposed to Guide their offspring during the movie. Just ridiculous.
Ironically, I'm pretty sure almost no one knew what "Hotten tots" were until this edict. I'm pretty sure most people also don't know the meaning of "impertinent" and never bothered to look up the meaning of that word either.
I tried to watch but your commentary is so much louder than the movie that if I put your volume at a reasonable level I couldn't even hear the show. It would be nice if you do a better job of balancing the two.
Please don’t put in RIP in the comment section, people being dead is disappointing, and I don’t receive any information about someone being dead. Also, I’m very pissed that the voice actor Glynis Johns has died, which she should be living.
Glynis lived a long life. It’s important for people to remember those that have passed away. Honoring them in death not only makes passing somewhat bearable, but it’s good to reflect on their lives, and their lives work. Glynis has done so much to be proud of.
@@shadowlessxpan Well, she did great acting work. And she didn’t just appear in Mary Poppins. Still sad for someone to die… P.S. She voiced Mrs. Banks.
As far as I am concerned this is still Disney's masterpiece. (even Dick Van Dyke's accent adds to its charm)
He voiced Bert.
He also voiced Captain Goof-Beard in the 2014 movie, Disney’s Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Pirate Adventure.

They mentioned that "Fun Fact" at 16:57. Which is said right at the end of the film in a comical kind of way.
@@ComicPhreak I see, I must've missed it then. Thanks for the info.
Ed Wynn played uncle albert - was a comedian who started in vaudville

The some of the money from the movie also financed the monorail which he named after the main character MAPO, MAry POppins.

One of my favorites growing up! I remember all the songs and sang along. Julie Andrew's and Dick Van Dyke where incredible.
They both voiced Mary Poppins and Bert.
An absolute classic film! Julie Andrews won the Oscar for Best Actress for this, and the film won another four more.
I also watched Saving Mr Banks after that I went out and got the complete Merry Poppins works.It was a really good read.Great reaction as all ways I really enjoyed your reaction.
You must also see the recent 2018 sequel, Mary Poppins Returns.

Rest in Peace, Glynis Johns.
👏👏👏👏 this makes me want to watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and my fair Lady. I’m loving this channel ladies!
Out of the musical numbers in this movie, my favorite has to be "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"
RIP Glynis Johns, having only just left us this 4th January last, aged 100.
You shouldn’t have put that in the comments section.
Love Glynis. She was in The Court Jester with Danny Kaye. One of my favourite films as a kid. It also has Basil Rathbone hamming up his Guy of Gisborne from The Adventures of Robin Hood.
@@spongebobsquarepants6096 ???
Nice. Love Mary Poppins. To continue with the theme, how about doing "Once Upon a Time" TV series from 2011 to 2018?
You should give 'Bedknobs and broomsticks' a watch at some point, that movie is sort of like this one
I tried to be but failed.
A couple of songs that were written for Mary Poppins got used in Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
Disney's finest hour.
Dick Van Dyke also voiced Captain Goof-Beard in the 2014 movie, Disney’s Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Pirate Adventure.

Now, you have to watch " Nanny McPhee "
Although the film came out in 1964, it was set during the Edwardian era in 1910 when children 'should be seen and not heard' was the attitude
Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke are great actors.
P.S. Julie voiced Mary Poppins, while Dick voiced Bert.

One of my favorite movies! As a great follow up...check out "Saving Mr. Banks"!
Movie suggestions: Disney The Love Bug 1969, Hoodwinked 2005, The Monkey 2023, Walking with Dinosaurs The Movie 2013, Gnomeo and Juliet 2011. Please
While not as good as the original, I enjoyed the recent sequel "Mary Poppins Returns" (with Emily Blunt as Mary). Dick Van Dyke makes a amazing Cameo)
The actress who played Jane in the first movie makes a cameo too
Watch the sequel. It’s excellent
The poor guy who played the young boy died at the age of 21
I have to call BS on the “first time watching” title

The word "Hottentot" is also spoken in *The Wizard of Oz* (1939).

@@Films4u85 But it’s very disappointing for people to be dead.
That's life people die. At least people can honour and remember them.
