British banks are clearly not providing the same service as they were in 1910. When I opened an account, I didn't get the board of directors come out to sing to me about the benefits of having an account :( I was very disappointed.
@@idekmusic8793 Not really, think on the part when Mr. Banks gets fired. Then comes the line about the Boston Tea Party. Also that was the bank financing this tea. :) - Compare the Clip: Mary Poppins vs. Wall Street. put on by harukimar 10/16/2011
I love Jane and Michael's expressions throughout this whole scene. The looks they give each other. Like. These are the faces of two kids who know the meanings of exactly zero of the big words these grown-ups are saying.
Their reactions were genuine because they had no clue it was Dick Van Dyke under all that makeup. They were both worried that the horrible old man was going to fall down and die at any moment.
Yes, almost as if Matthew Garber(Michael)and David Tomlinson(Mr.Banks)were father and son in real life! When I first saw Gremlins(original) to me actor Zack Galligan(Billy) seemed to somewhat resemble actress Frances Lee McCain(Mrs.Peltzer, Billy's mom),since their characters were mother and son in the movie. OK, even if they are of the opposite gender, Billy still did seem to resemble his mom a little bit to me, in Gremlins.
so odd seeing this as an adult and understanding what they are saying now. it's actually a wonderful bit of songwriting.. probably my favorite song in this movie. that part where they walk around nodding to each other stuck in my mind for a long time..
I don'k know why, but Dick Vandyke cracks me up in this scene. I haven't seen is since I was kid and I couldn't stop laughing. Feed the birds and what have ya got? Fat birds.
@@ayoungconservative1051 Imagine strangers from another continent invading your property and by force of guns occupying your property and telling you that you are unproductively wasting your land and the strangers cutting down the trees on your property and building a mine and a plantation on your land and using you as cheap labour in the mine and on their plantation and you have no choice but to work for them because they are occupying all the land in the area and then they build a railway across your land to take away the products of the mine and plantation so that they can make huge profits off of your land's products and imagine that they constantly make racist comments about you and treat you with contempt and disgust as they think that you are barely human and are vastly inferior to them. Do you actually want that to happen to you? Would that actually make you happy?
I love how the lines "You'll be part of railways through Africa, dams across the Nile, fleets of ocean greyhounds ..... " helps demonstrate the zenith of the British Empire during the Edwardian period in the U.K. apparently when the story in the movie takes place.
Indeed. During Banks' "How pleasant is the life I lead" number, he mentions "It's great to be an Englishman in 1910; King Edward's on the throne; it's the age of men!", so just before his death with the Empire still at its peak. How things will change in 4 years' time!
@@annemusonda9493 Me too as a kid when I first saw it back in 1965. I was in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe recently and talk about "railways in Africa," as I was delighted to see a British built Garrett type steam locomotive on display there!
For me, the funniest thing about seeing Dick Van Dyke as old Mr Dawes is that we see he actually CAN do a decent attempt at an English accent, compared to his famously atrocious cockney one as Bert. Apparently, the reason his Bert accent was so terrible was that his accent coach was an Irishman who couldn't do the accent himself, so when he realised it was going to sound ridiculous anyway, he decided to just run with it and go all out.
R.I.P. Lester Matthews (1900-1975) (Mr. Tomes), Cyril Delevanti (1889-1975) (Mr. Grubbs), Matthew Garber (1956-1977) (Michael Banks), Clive Halliday (1900-1989) (Mr. Mousley), David Tomlinson (1917-2000) (George Banks ) and Arthur Malet (1927-2013) (Mr. Dawes Junior). Some trivia: Arthur Malet was a noted character actor. He was known for playing older parts in films than he was. He was only 37 years old when he played Mr. Dawes Junior. He and Dick Van Dyke were only 37 and 38 years old when they played two characters much older than they are.
I think Bert (the chimney sweep) was in his 30's. The character of Mr Dawes Sr was about 90, which is the same age as the actor Dick Van Dyke and when the original actor of Mr Dawes Jr died in 2013 the character grew older and is now played by the actor who voiced his father.
I love this part and it makes sense! But it was scary to me as a child. I never got what was going on. I love how subtle the actor for Mr. Banks is, showing both his excitement for the banks but also the pressure he feels from the directors to make the point to his children and tell them what is right rather than letting them make their decision.
I believe the entire theme of Mary Poppins is that there is time to be an adult (responsible) and there is time to be a child (carefree) and one must strive to never venture too far in one direction. Children must still clean their rooms and take their medicine (responsible), but adults should still find the time to go fly a kite and dance and laugh (carefree).
Back when children's movies had intelligence, and you could watch them from childhood through adulthood and still enjoy them because they were never "dumbed down" for only a younger audience. It's funny how watching this clip now, I understand everything they are singing about!
Lol when I first watched this I was about the age of Michael/Jane and I had absolutely no clue what those men were saying, but I had no idea that Michael and Jane were equally confused. Now that I'm an adult it's so funny to watch their reactions. They're like "frugally? What? Huh????? Investments???" XD
Ironically, this song probably teaches the most valuable life lessons that the children could ever receive, with regards to how financial security can ensure their future happiness; however, from the children's perspective, it is confusing and terrifying. It's one of the reasons I absolutely love this film.
phyfell001 That, but it's also explained in such sophisticated language, even an ordinary person might have trouble understanding it without further explanation. That just makes it even funnier.
phyfell001 I’m not a big fan of this song but it means more to me now as a young adult with a credit union account and plan to live on my own next year or so.
I love the fact that this song (which is not as well remembered as a lot of the other songs in Mary Poppins) got featured pretty prominently in Saving Mr Banks. It was one of the best scenes in the movie.
I couldn't agree with you more. That scene in Saving Mr.Banks is one of the most genius scenes ever directed in cinema history that I've ever witnessed in a film.
I know these comments are over 4 years old but I’m gonna be completely honest here. You’re gonna think I’m crazy for saying this, but i prefer Saving Mr Banks over Mary Poppins
I remember being so confused yet fascinated at this part. I swear, I didn't know most of the words in this song, but I loved the beat and harmony and things like that. Now I love it for those reasons and the meanings behind it. What a wonderful movie
I didn’t realize til I was older that it was Dick Van Dyke also playing Mr.Dawes Senior. For playing 2 roles in this amazing Disney classic he was amazing.Definitely will always be my favorite role of his.
Alright, Michael. A very wise investment. We'll just take your Tuppence and invest in a money market mutual fund, then we'll re-invest the earnings into foreign currency accounts with compounding interest AAAAAND IT'S GONE.
I love how this song depicts money saving. As Michael gets older, he will have to have a bank account for college, traveling, etc. But, you can see the expression on his face that as a kid; he would rather feed the birds instead of listening to all of these adults trying to persuade him into putting the tuppence in the bank. To me it really is both a kids movie and an adult movie in my opinion. But, apparently high class parents back then treated their kids with discipline opposed to lower class parents.
Great advice on how to save money 💰 This is a great lesson for our young children. I think that money 💰 should be something that children need to be taught at a young age. David Tomlinson and Dick Van Dyke Senior did an amazing job in this movie on teaching children about money 💰
"And you'll achieeeeeve that seeeense of statuuuure as your influence expaaaaaands to the high financial strataaa that established credit now commands!!!" Leave is up to the Sherman Brothers to make a song about opening a mother-honking bank account this poetic and fun.
Dick Van Dyke is now 92, and recently played this character in Mary Poppins Returns. If he had been 92 in 1910 when this movie was set he would have been born in 1818.
You know what the difference is between these guys and the "Too Big To Fail" banks of today? The too big to fail banks got bailed out by the government. These guys, by contrast, could bail out the government!
Exactly. These wise investors are largely investing in public infrastructure, something useful that can return a good profit. Not that gamble everyone took with the mortgage market.
There were bank failures in Edwardian times as well. They would have been worse because there was no deposit insurance to protect depositors in the event of a bank failure. Chances are the banks did not have the same cash ratios on hand that they are required to today by law, which meant that if a run occurred, it would be devastating.
But it was an official of the bank who approved a loan to finance a shipment of tea to the American colonies, which was thrown by colonists into the harbor.
Interesting trivia: Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber were not told Dick Van Dyke was under all that makeup and playing Mr. Dawes, Sr.. They believed this really was an old man and were worried he was going to fall down and die at any moment. So their expressions to Mr. Dawes, Sr. on screen were genuine.
The best musical numbers (I suppose the best verses generally) are when the lyric snaps into place, syllable-for-syllable, without requiring contrivances in either the flow of the language or the melody. This number has that.
I think you meant underrated song in an overrated movie. Don't get me wrong, I love this movie. But it suffers from drawn out pacing issues that all Disney films in the late 50s/early 60s had. We just forgive it more in Mary Poppins because the score, music, and acting are so good. Similar to how the original Star Wars movies have pacing issues due to long sequences and stilted dialogue, that we forgive due to never before seen special effects at the time and great acting.
I noticed how they were only interested in Micheal. Taking about his tuppence and how investing would let him travel the world someday... Those things would never happen for Jane because shes a girl in 1910.
You know your acting is good when people focus on your bad performance and barely recognize you in your good performance. Mad respect for Dick Van Dyke.
Michael’s response of ultimate puzzlement in regards to money was and still is me - heck I still shut down when I hear anything in regard to numbers….i barely even remember this song
Plus besoin d imaginer cette scène au niveau mondial ,car nous y sommes depuis longtemps ,200 ans .Humains les plus petits des plus petits vous êtes propriétaire de votre destinée,ne laissez pas ces groupes de banquiers prendre votre destinée ,soyez courageux et dites non .🇫🇷
1. The look of absolute horror on Jane’s face when he tries to get down the step 2. Feed the birds and what have you got? FAT BIRDS 3. While stand the banks of England, England stands (hits different now) 4. THE SQUEAKY SHOES
Heard someone say fiduciary the other day and although I’ve known this word from being a child, from this song.. had no idea what it meant! Trustee! Makes sense. Love this film xx
I watched this movie all the time as a kid and I only recently found out... And for some reason, this scene used to really freak me out as a kid - I think it might have been the old men ganging up against the children.
It is very interesting how this song contrasts from “Feed the Birds” in a historical context. Mary Poppins is indirectly singing, “Help those who need it and you will be glad if you do.” This piece is singing, “Help fund our colonialism and you’ll be a part of the Empire!”
10-14-22-I think the government in Britain needs to watch this 1000 times. Look at the stupid stuff that Britain is doing right now. Making their financial markets jump all around.
The sad thing is, if they'd just explained that by investing, they'd get enough money to buy birdseed many times over, they might've convinced Michael and Jane in the first place. (The really sad part, though, is that this was all necessary to make everything better in the long run.)
Now, some people say Mr. Dawes senior is greedy and ruthless. But there is one thing I see that’s perfectly human about him: he was trying to make sure order was kept in the bank: hence what made him angry with Mr. Banks and his children when the bank run chaos happened (even when he started it by snatching Michael’s pennies without asking).

There is very little difference in Dick van dyke as mr dawes sr in the first movie and mr dawes jr in second movie. The accent is the same too.

What character did you play as

Just so you know, this song is called "Dawes, Tomes, Mousely, Grubbs, Fidelity Fiduciary Bank".
LOL at Banks at 2:18-2:21. He's like "What are you all doing?"
Did Michael just want to feed the birds the Tuppence? No wonder these guys wanted him to deposit the money so badly

Exactly. Bring a crust and do it for free. Who does she think she is that anyone who wants to feed birds have to pay her to do it?

Ever since Saving Mr. Banks, I cannot look at this scene the same way 😭
1:16 Michael’s face when Dawes is coughing and spluttering
I haven't seen this movie in full for years, as a kid I never understood what they were singing about, now I know.
Plus besoin d imaginer cette scène au niveau mondial ,car nous y sommes depuis longtemps ,200 ans .Humains les plus petits des plus petits vous êtes propriétaire de votre destinée,ne laissez pas ces groupes de banquiers prendre votre destinée ,soyez courageux et dites non .🇫🇷
When I first watched this as a kid this scene always scared me for some reason.
me too. their greedy, shining eyes at the end of the song! ugh...
I always burst out laughing when Mr. Dawes Sr. said "England falls" and topples over backwards!
4:19 welcome to our joyful family of investors.
Why is this the funniest fucking thing I’ve seen this year 😂😅🤣
Fiddlesticks boy !!! 😂
Wow! Banks are awesome!
Steal that boys money! I love when he points to Michael
I love how even Mr. Banks seems so done, like he’s heard this so many times.
1. The look of absolute horror on Jane’s face when he tries to get down the step
2. Feed the birds and what have you got? FAT BIRDS
3. While stand the banks of England, England stands (hits different now)
4. THE SQUEAKY SHOES
Heard someone say fiduciary the other day and although I’ve known this word from being a child, from this song.. had no idea what it meant! Trustee! Makes sense.
Love this film xx
I watch this now as an adult it's all messed up but the hell
And you’ll achieve . . . that sense of CONQUEST!! 😂
many maybe don't know... but FAT PIDGEONS and TUPPENCE where the ancestors of italian actual YTPs..... ty for this gift Disney
At 4:10 Michael looks like he is being convinced. He starts to open up his hand.
Or maybe he just let his guard down, because of the singing old people.
Adelaide Beeman-White I was thinking he was being convinced also. You can't say no to a catchy musical number.
It looks more like brain washing to me.
I watched this movie all the time as a kid and I only recently found out...
And for some reason, this scene used to really freak me out as a kid - I think it might have been the old men ganging up against the children.
It is very interesting how this song contrasts from “Feed the Birds” in a historical context. Mary Poppins is indirectly singing, “Help those who need it and you will be glad if you do.” This piece is singing, “Help fund our colonialism and you’ll be a part of the Empire!”
Arthur Malet who plays Mr Dawes J.R. here (with beard and holding papers) was only 37 years old.
10-14-22-I think the government in Britain needs to watch this 1000 times. Look at the stupid stuff that Britain is doing right now. Making their financial markets jump all around.
Came back to this after watching Mary Poppins Returns and how this was tied in.
3:51 Comedy gold.
My personal finance and economics self is screaming right now. Passed both of them in high school
Me and my grandma went to the bank today, I’m kinda disappointed that the directors didn’t come out to sing about depositing benefits.😢
The sad thing is, if they'd just explained that by investing, they'd get enough money to buy birdseed many times over, they might've convinced Michael and Jane in the first place.
(The really sad part, though, is that this was all necessary to make everything better in the long run.)
Imagine the old man Tim Conway playing Mr Dawes.
I love the "semi annual" line.
Now, some people say Mr. Dawes senior is greedy and ruthless. But there is one thing I see that’s perfectly human about him: he was trying to make sure order was kept in the bank: hence what made him angry with Mr. Banks and his children when the bank run chaos happened (even when he started it by snatching Michael’s pennies without asking).
Once the Great Depression hits,
They’re never going to trust another bank again. Lol
The British bodyguards chosen me to be the British bodyguard
Brilliant
0:18 "So... You have Tuppence? May I be permitted to see it?"
A potential chat up line that will certainly earn you a slap!
