Mary Poppins | Movie Review | MovieBitches Retro Review Ep 28

- Опубликовано: 16 дек 2018
- We review the Disney classic Mary Poppins in anticipation of Mary Poppins Returns hitting theaters. While we can't quite say we're excited for a sequel, we were more than happy to look back at the original. It might not be everything we remembered, but Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke are as amazing as ever!

I used to always fall asleep as a kid watching 'The Sound of Music' and had no clue at all it was about nazis until I finally saw all of it is as a teenager so I feel you on this.
I've watch The Sound of Music all the way through many, many, many times and every time I forget it's about Nazis. There's like a block there.
i would always turn it off after they got married lmao
It was one of the first movies I ever watched and I never picked up on it until I was older and I was like hold up!!😳✋🏼
We need a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang retro review!!!
zipzapzoom yes!!!
I'll be saying "siluwet" for days, thanks
Ditto
SHILLYOUOUWETT
basically all 60s movies feel like a drug trip and they don't really have a plot but watching them feels like a weird journey and i love them so much
"She's more of like, a frigid bitch who sings"
Fun fact - The Prime Minister in 1910 when the film is set was Herbert Asquith, whose great grand-daughter is Helena Bonham-Carter.
I clicked on this thinking "I'm surprised they even saw the new movie, but I'll watch their review anyway." Then OH THANK GOODNESS it's a retro review!!
Fun fact, just because I think you guys, Andrew in particular, will appreciate it, it is often considered and pretty much confirmed that Julie Andrew's won best actress for this role because many bon the voting panel were upset that she was not cast as Eliza in the movie version of My Fair Lady so it was a way from them to spite the casting choice.
This is the first time anyone has mentioned Thomasina in 40 years.
Ok, just for Avaryl's little comment, you need to do a retro review of Bedknobs and Broomsticks. My love for that film is undying.
And maybe also a compare/contrast review of Parent Trap!
Mary Poppins is basically Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men
AGREED
I second this! I NEED to talk about this gen of a film!
Julie Andrews only won an Oscarfor MARY POPPINS, but many believe it was a consolation prize for not getting MY FAIR LADY (the scandal of Audrey Hepburn lip syncing was also seen as a push for her winning since Jack Warner actively passed over her for not being a big star). Andrews would store her Oscar in her attic for many years because she felt she didn’t really deserve it.
The best part of this movie is the shade Julie threw at Jack Warner in her Golden Globe speech.
Andrew asking the real questions as usual. *Should* we be feeding the pigeons? And gaslighting children?
DecoyDamsel you know that bird lady put a healthy markup on that birdseed. The movie is promoting bootstraps entrepreneurism. 😜
I got to see Mary Poppins on Broadway and it was the most fun I think I've ever had at a show! Burt was on wires dancing upside down on the ceiling, Mary Poppins flew out into the audience and waved at us on the balcony, it was nuts!
The set was amazing when I saw it.
The people with the “dots” are
Pearly Kings and Queens from the Eastend of London
Thanks for the info, I've always liked those costumes
But Pearly Kings and Queens real costumes are much better :-)
Rob Miles yes they are stunning
Emery Grace I dunno what that has to do my with comment
I'm excited for yall to drag Lin Manuel Miranda in the remake. 😂 Also PLEASE Retro Review Chicago and Singin In The Rain!
"Practically a prostate exam" - or as I immediately thought "Practically prostate in every way".
Edit: Mary is basically Alyssa Edwards when it comes to mirrors.
While we're on the subject, I'd love to see Violet Chachki in a version of her 'chalk world' outfit.
Thank you for the visual of Mary seeing Alyssa Edwards as her reflection in the mirrors.
If you didn’t at least try to fly away with your umbrella as a kid you’re a liar
Iain 97 I see no lie in this comment
but i didnt even have an umbrella as a kid..........and even if i didnt im not you so............
Where’s the lie tho in this comment 👀
Every time I could find something to jump off of
Especially in strong wind xD
Could you guys one day review who framed roger rabbit?
YES!
Great movie! Yes please!
45 minutes of them talking about Jessica Rabbit would be the tits
Yaas Julie Andrews is easily the best person ever to have lived ever in the history of ever. Ever.
I love how you guys point out a guy dressed as a nanny but literally just above the arrow it looks like Jerry Springer wearing a bonnet 😂😂😂
PL Travers was SUCH an interesting woman, and the oddball things that remain in Mary Poppins, I believe, are the core ideas that she held. She was so spiritual (in a very turn-of-the-century-crackpot way), from almost unbelievable poverty, then saved by an extraordinarily strict aunt she adored, was in a long-term same-sex relationship, then fell for her spiritual guide, had a son she adopted and then promptly ignored....definitely read the biographies you can on her. So odd.
Also, "I Dream of Jeannie" at the beginning reminds me of the time I was at a conference for Godiva (I ran a store) in a fabulous hotel in Florida, and Larry Hagman was there, and he was drunk off his nut and fell over a lawn chair and had to be picked up by the staff.
That opening back and forth between you two was awesome. Avaryl off screen joshing around with Andrew. A pure delight. Thanks for the review
I was in musical theater for a hot minute as a kid. I loved doing Mary Poppins so much. I got to sing supercalifragilisticexpialidocious as a 6 year old. I remember going home and practicing THE SHIT out of that word. It was the most important thing in my life at the time. This is so nostalgic for me.
Missed opportunity: casting Alyssa Edwards for Mary Poppins Returns. She's always in a mirror. *tongue pop*
Also also, MovieBitches doing accent work is my depression cure. :)
Everytime you said step in time, all I had was flashbacks of the justice league review! 🤣🤣🤣 this was great. I am just as conflicted about the new mary Poppins as Andrew is (even I actually do like Lin-Manuel miranda) but maybe I'll be surprised. Also I forgot about the staircase too, so I am right there with you, avaryl!
I think mid-century movies had an abundance of turn of the century movies, cuz that's when the writers and producers were kids. Hello Dolly, Music Man, my fair lady, pollyanna, cheaper by the dozen, etc. Also maybe the studios used the same sets and costumes.
Not automatically seeing Avaryl in that chair threw me all the way off.
"should we be feeding the pigeonnns?" pigeons need love too!
Ok so 6 hour P&P is the best miniseries of all time!!! Could you pleeeeease retroreview it? Love you guys
The cuts to Lucy from Yours, Mine and Ours are cracking me up
Mrs. Banks 'Lets go to Downing St. and throw things at Herbert Henry Asquith'
American protesters today 'We can't possibly do anything that violent'
Could you do “Sound of Music” and/or “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” for Retro Review
I got got with that last “sil-yah-ouette. 🤣🤣🤣
MUPPET👏TREASURE👏ISLAND👏
Now I just really want/need Retro Reviews of Bedknobs & Broomsticks (one of my fave childhood movies) and more importantly CHICAGO (my fave musical). I think I would die!
Feed The Birds was originally written as a metaphor for charity. It's more about donating to the bird woman and others in need.
How very dare you! Bedknobs and Broomsticks is amazing :D
I agree I side with Andrew too.
YASSSS!!!! Bedknobs and Broomsticks is AMAZING! What's not to love ?!
Miss Piggy being on Fabulous Cunt Island makes me really happy. She is EVERYTHING. I still remember her spread in InStyle Magazine and how much it made me laugh (but also made me realize that she deserves more recognition as a style icon). Also, her interview with InStyle about her style secrets is incredible 😂
I will say I think the run length is because it was in the era of “roadshow theatrical releases”. An interesting Wikipedia page if only to see which movies are listed.
speaking of gene kelly.....retro review of singin in the rain? and unrelated but since it’s the holidays, white christmas?
Lana Stanczak a White Christmas retro review would be the best Christmas gift for subscribers ❤️
WHITE CHRISTMAS 🎄❤️
Please retro review Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, that film is so weird and would love to see how to feel about it
Mary Poppins (and Little Mermaid) was one of those VHS tapes I wore out as a kid, to the point where we had to replace both
This movie was my childhood, I never fell asleep during the entire movie when I was young because I loved every minute of it, however, being grown up now, I'm able 2 properly appreciate each and every song for its message, this is still my favorite movie and whenever I think of Julie Andrews, I always imagine Mary Poppins. Thank you for reviewing this movie
Avaryl: “You could say like oh Donald O’Connor or something! You know like, he would have been too old, but you know [etc etc]”
Andrew: [I have no idea who you’re taking about, but I’m sure you’re right] “Sure!”
😝
id LOVE it if you did a retro review of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Im a lover of horror movies, but the Child Catcher still scares the shit outta me
Loved this review! Love this movie and the Bedknobs and Broomsticks references
Dick Van Dyke is a TREASURE and we stan. I loved this movie as a child, but I was definitely more of a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang kid, and I definitely blended "Step In Time" with the "Me Old Bamboo" scene from CCBB in my head growing up.
Also, did you see Dick putting Piers Morgan in his place two weeks ago on twitter????
Also also, Avaryl's just reminded me it's time for my bi-annual (twice yearly) rewatching of the entire BBC Pride and Prejudice, so I'm off to watch completely wordless tension and brilliant acting for a hot minute.
FABULOUS REVIEW AS ALWAY!!!
@34:13 Andrew's "super phallic" slip up made me laugh so hard. Y'all are the best.
Julie Andrews husband, Tony (?), was invited by Walt Disney to be the set and costume designer. The carousel horses had faces that resembled their human riders. Especially look at "Bert's" and "Mary's" mares. But as you so deftly pointed out, "Michael's"...YEE GODS!!! When both Audrey Hepburn AND Julie Andrews were up for the SAME "Best Actress" "Oscar", and Julie deservedly won, her acceptance speech was a HOOT! She wanted to thank "the one man who made this all possible...JACK WARNER..." The audience absolutely HOWLED with laughter, especially when the TV camera zoomed in on him blushing!!! 😄 Touche!!! 👍 😉😘😉😘😉😘
Being a nanny is HARD
Quick story. I come from a very musical family. Once, my parents, sister and I were watching Mary Poppins while we waited for other family to arrive for Christmas. My brother and his family started caroling outside the house when they arrived but we couldn't hear them because we were singing "Let's Go Fly a Kite" at the TOP of our lungs along with the movie. They eventually gave up and came inside to find us lustily singing, "UP through the ATmosphere! UP where the AIR is CLEAR!" I should add that this was just a couple years ago and I am 38. So.... yeah.
Thomasina retro review, when?
I didn't know until now that i needed you guys to review muppets treasure island
Ugh. I adore Bedknobs and Broomsticks!
🎶Portobello Road. Portobello Road.🎶
I love bedknobs and broomsticks.
I don’t know if it’s just because I’m a 2000 baby, but I’m really excited for Mary Poppins Returns. I watched the original Mary Poppins and Sound of Music like every day when I was younger (my grandmother has an amazing taste in musicals), and even though Julie Andrews isn’t in this, Emily Blunt looks so good as Mary Poppins? Her voice, her mannerisms, they remind me of how Julie performed as Mary and it makes my heart so happy. And even Lin Manuel, I’m excited to see what he brings too, especially with Hamilton and all that.
I went into a rant, but this review made me so happy. When I saw the notification, I had to stop everything and watch this 😭💕
This movie always makes me think of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, except in that one they were like "Dick, don't worry about an accent just do you." And then presumably he was like "won't it be weird that my children and father are all EXTREMELY British?," and they were like "I SAID DO YOU!!!!"
This makes me wish for a “the sound of music” retro review.
It’s interesting looking back on this now because as a kid I did think Mary and Burt liked each other. My mind interpreted it as “You don’t have to push your gentlemanly charms, because you’re already the one I like.”
....I need to rewatch this movie now. And Bedknobs and Broomsticks
"She's so *vain* ."
She literally measures herself up and says she's "practically perfect in every way."
I need that self confidence.
LOL at the Bedknobs & Broomsticks shade...I’m here for it.
Great review as usual!!
Retro review please! That movie was my first drug experience as a child 😂
It took me 15 years at least to work out the word he was trying to say was 'silhouette'.
Please do Bedknobs and Broom sticks!!! I love that movie!
Oh and Chitty chitty bang bang! Like how was that a kids movie?!
wait.........how can y'all not like my boy Lin.......he's just a pure, lovely man who loves musicals
Probably because he’s in everything now
Twice, in the past several years, Julie Andrews and her lovely adult daughter, have appeared here in Fairfield, Connecticut for a book signing. They were only supposed to be there from 6 until 8pm, but there was such a crowd, they remained until almost 10:30pm!!! I was among like the last 20 fans in line, when someone remembered it was her birthday that day. So we all serenaded her, and she cried happy tears... 😊
YES to all the Mrs Banks love! Glynis Johns is SUCH a joy to watch! ❤
Was more of a Bedknobs and Broomsticks, kid, so I’d really appreciate your review of it. Kay Thanks Bye!!! #AvrealIsOverParty
THANK GOD. Im sick and unprepared for the holidays but I have my Avy skunk blanket and this review to keep me together 💖
I love them climbing up the chimneys it’s so creepy yet magically
I used to fall asleep all the time while trying to watch this as a kid so I’m glad your review came along and clues me into wtf this movie was about so I don’t have to watch it again lol
Nanny McPhee will forever be my fave but it's whatevs
Hopefully you guys watch/review "Enchanted" at some point, because the OG chimney sweep dancers from "Mary Poppins" appear during a live action musical scene AND THEY STILL STEP IN TIME. 💖
So, I read the books (all 6 of them) as a young kid before I ever got to watch the movie. Most of the questions you have are answered completely by the books- so I am wandering if the movie wasn't designed as a "companion", with the full assumption that everyone watching it would know the book lore.
Andrew you really gave us viewers in Ireland and the UK a hell of a welcome w that Winc sponsor lmao. ❤️
Will you guys ever do Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?
Island for fictional characters: The Cunts of Themyscira
You can put Robin Wright's character from Wonder Woman there.
Haha, Themyscira was the inspiration for FCI in the first place, so how would that work?
This movie has no flaws I feel personally attacked
Amen!
this is where it benefits to be a tv person instead of a movie person: 2 hour movies are fine (if they are good films). im used to watching the same characters for 22-23 hours a season so..........
Would love to see a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang retro review... my god that movie messed me up as a kid 😅
@42:24 every time I hear Avaryl say "what's this?!" now, I think of The Nightmare Before Christmas - which I've never seen before 😂 (i have so many new references in my head now just because i watch your reviews lol)
Avaryl will appreciate this... I learned about Nero from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode
The bird lady sold the breadcrumbs to make a living, rather than straight up panhandling. So it was basically a choice between trying to make more money or giving to someone in need.
Could you please review Les Misérables (2012) if only for Samantha Barks' (Eponine) waist in her corset because I have a feeling she could probably give Violet a run for her money.
Also, side note have you ever heard of the Disney animated movie Home on the Range? Cuz if not its about 3 cows and it has the only Disney villain to ever yodel, just thought you should know.
Melissa Benjumea She is without a doubt the BEST part of that movie.
I always knew I’d never seen this movie all the way through as a kid, and I realized through your opening discussion that it’s because I always fell asleep 🤣
This is not at all the review I had expected. I anticipated an hour of praise but I love that you both went in on discussing everything. The lenses with witch you each view things through and how those thoughts and comments come together is brilliant and it is why I love Movie Bitches.
Also, I just watched the new films trailer and I teared up (wildly unexpected) so I may actually see it now.
The people in the dots in the chalk world are Pearly Kings and Queens which is a tradition from East London
I also like how you put Miss Piggy on Fabulous Cunt Island and then asked if you could open it up to fictional characters....
Court Jester, Court Jester! Yes please! I was literally just trying to repeat the chalice with the palace bit a few days ago... and failing
I also learned about suffragettes from this movie! And also yes to Court Jester!
Wow, I never realised how many things are in this movie that Americans just wouldn't understand! Like the Pearly Kings and Queens and Tuppence is "Two Pence". Also, Bedknobs and Broomsticks is 100 times better than Mary Poppins - WHAT ARE YOU SAYING AVARYL?! #ThankGoshForAndrew.
I’m forgiving her for this once time as I’m sure she’s still intoxicated from the CA fires and probably all the chemicals in everything that burned up
She’s clearly not in her right mind!
But Andrew... Do you like Julie Andrews?
(By the way I *need* you guys to dub the whole of the movie in your amazing Cockney accents)
I tought Burt was saying: 'see you wet'😂
OK, be honest.. Who else here hit play and immediately started saying "Cheers, welcome to movie bitches" and then was gagged when they didn't start the video that way?
I think I know why you (we) love Glynis Johns. She's like a young Carol Channing!!!!
can every intro start this way?
Further confirmation Avaryl and I had the same childhood. Thomasina introduced me to witchcraft and also made me cry like a baby 🐱
Also the “Yours, mine and ours” cutaways killed me 😵 I don’t know why??
Fair warning: the marvelous MovieBitches spend so much time complaining about the length of Mary Poppins that their _review_ of Mary Poppins is 56 minutes long. I need a spoonful of rum punch.
So I’m probably gonna be blocked for this but ...
I prefer Bedknobs and Broomsticks
(Edit 10:52 - I love MovieBitch cous there’s only one now #TeamAndrew)
I feel you ....
sorry guys, I started watching this review, but, I, I just can't. This movie is way too dear for my heart for any kind of criticism, commentary, or praise. I think this might be the only movie I physically can't visit without the hugest nostalgia goggles ever.
