When Walt Disney used to say ‘that’ll work’ that was the highest compliment he would give.
Walt was a man who wanted perfection in his movies so he was not always a great boss but he was not a terrible boss
Rip Walt Disney
@@wolf2912 what do you think Walt would feel today? Rolling in his grave comes to mind.
Did you know that Walt Disney at times would change into his railroad overalls and run one of the steam locomotives at Disneyland. I wonder if anyone riding ever thought that the train engineer looked a lot like Mr. Disney
To PL Travers, Mary Poppins wasn't the point of the books and shouldn't have been the point of the film. For her, the point was all about Mr. Banks (representing her father), and despite how this movie portrays the ending, PL Travers went to her grave disappointed with Walt Disney and what he had done to her story about her relationship with her father. Walt Disney was so worried about her reaction to the movie, he didn't invite her to the premiere.
I think that Walt Disney is not a saint but he is not a devil and he also one of the fathers of animation
Rip Walt Disney
I know there is so much going on in the movie, but the biggest thing I came away with is how different the song is when they went up on "down".
A small note re depiction of costumes in Australia circa 1906 that so perturbed. I've ancestry with and great fondness for the country, but it was a somewhat behind, separated culture then. And in the Bush! Subtleties of what angle a lady should wear a hat would have escaped many, I'm sure. In fact the wardrobe adviser probably suggested she do it so. I hope that helps!
The movie works for me on every level. I’m a snotty mess by the end of it, every time.
Same.
Me too. It comes over me several times during the movie. Paul Giamatti's character makes me cry the minute he's on screen. He's such a pure soul. I adore all the scenes with him and Thompson.
I think the point of the hat being on wrong is to symbolise how everything is about to be turned upside down. As you pointed out, another woman has the hat on correctly.
When I worked at an indoor childrens gym years ago, the lady that played the receptionist would always bring her son in to play at where I worked...super sweet lady.. It didn't even cross my mind that it was her until my boss told me.
You can't have this movie without the flashbacks, it shows why she is the way she is. What if they just changed the costumes to be more historically accurate?
It would also need better writing and pacing for the flashbacks. It is possible, but with severe revisions!
You know, the way you feel about the hats in this movie is probably the same way my brother felt about Walt not smoking in the movie. My brother and I don't like Disney's need to make Walt seem perfect. He was a human being, and he had flaws. (I actually feel the same way about the Catholic Church and Jesus.)
Let's go fly a kite wasn't the song that won P.L Travers over it was actually Feed the birds that finally won her over
Love both!
@Alexa Chipman Reactions I kind of like Feed the birds a little more than let's go fly a kite ( That song is great too though) only because Because there's so much emotion. Maybe it's because of the way how Julie Andrews sings the song that It makes you get emotional when you hear it. That's like one of the greatest songs that disney has ever created or will ever create.
Its not in your reaction
But the scene when Walt is telling his story and he talks about forgiveness and he tells her "life is a harsh sentence to lay down for yourself."
That line always pushes me to tears
I have memories of my own that have haunted me for so long and that line from Walt was almost like he was reaching out to me
It was a punch in the heart
Feed the birds was recently played again on walts piano when they did the " once upon a studio" short movie and it was played by richard sherman once again like he did many times before when walt was alive...
Long before I saw this, I knew Travers wasn't a fan of the movie; if you look at the history of movie adaptions of works by still-living authors, you'll find a lot of that.
The makers of this movie originally hoped to do so independent of the Walt Disney Company; they quickly discovered that wasn't possible.
There have been a few exceptions. The author of 101 Dalmatians enjoyed the movie and Gary K. Wolf, the author of Who Censored Roger Rabbit preferred the film version to his own novel. But it is definitely quite rare.
My brother didn't believe me when I told him that this movie started out as a spec script. He thought it was part of the Disney company's campaign to deify Walt.
As a person interested in the medieval period, I have long learned to look past odd choices in costuming, sometimes due to budget, sometimes to off-kilter research. If, to me, the story is strong enough, then I can look past the faux pas. I was able to do this for this particular movie, because, for me, the relationship with the child's father, and how what happened to him created the woman she became, was strong enough and moving enough to look past the inaccuracies: there was truth in the root of what they were doing, and it led up to the payoff of Tom Hanks' wonderful monologue about his own father and the reassurance that Mary Poppins is about saving the father: something that this rendition of PL Travers may not have consciously been aware of. For me, you cannot have this movie without the flashbacks - it's only half the story, and with most of its heart missing. I'm sorry you were so affected negatively by the costuming. I understand it, but hope that, if you do a re-watch, you can look past it and live with the child that PL Travers is born from.
Agreed!
agreed, is the same when you have a movie based on a book. if you dont let pass those things you cant enjoy it.
Well said indeed ma'am. I think this movie tries to be even-handed about where both Disney and Travers were coming from and the influence of their formative years. As obnoxious as Travers could be, she is ultimately a sympathetic character.
Okay so a couple of things I wanted to point out is that is:
-Emma Thompson as P.L Travers not Julie Andrews,
-Walt got the rights to make the film after going to meet her in person in England in the late 50’s Early 60’s and she signed the rights over before she went to be a consultant on the film.
-the one Sherman Brothers song she did like that won her over wasn’t Let’s Go Fly a Kite it was actually Feed the Birds,
Yes, I was watching it and she was doing such a good job that I kept mixing them up 😂
@@alexachipman agreed 🥳
I want a movie of the ghost of Han Christian Anderson throwing popcorn at the screen at the premiere of "The Little Mermaid". Come on, internet, we got Deadpool and Snyder Cut to happen, let's get this going.
Love this idea. I think he'd enjoy the ballet version, however, which is far more accurate.
Your reaction video is much better than most other youtubers
At first I thought yay, another charming Alexa reaction to a delightful movie. It was Emma Thompson's self-described favourite role and another notch in Tom Hanks' bow, as if he needed one, as the first to portray Walt on the big screen. Colin Farrell's engaging performance as Pam's whimsical but alcoholic father was key to the complex, talented, bitterly disappointed woman who thought she had reinvented herself as an adult, but had done so by repressing the child within. It hits close to home in my own family so I found some of those childhood scenes almost unbearable. I understand she wanted to protect her precious creation from what later became recognised as "Disneyfication' . But Travers' books had been enormously successful for decades. I definitely would not like to have known the domineering, superior, schoolma'amish harridan she became and if I'd been one of the Sherman brothers there would have been blood on the floor, ha ha.
As for the costuming, give them a break. This is colonial Queensland, a long way from Hyde Park and Savile Row. They probably wore their hats like that to keep the flies off.
It wasn't just the hats in the costuming. I can go on for hours about the fabric choices, cut of the skirts, don't get me started on the male costumes either. Sorry! It was just so poorly done, and made worse by the fact it was juxtaposed with Emma's outstanding performance. It was like watching an Oscar winning film and a terrible B movie at the same time.
@@alexachipman You know, the costume designer for this movie is probably my favorite costume designer in Hollywood. He did the costumes for _Down with Love,_ which has some of the most gorgeous costume designs I've ever seen.
An interesting story.
It’s always fascinating to see the origins of iconic cultural phenomena.
In that vein,
I’d also recommend these two films.
“Goodbye Christopher Robin” (2017)
It’s about the author of Winnie the Pooh, his son the real life Christopher Robin, and the PTSD Milne struggled with.
Fascinated story and a wonderful film.
And I’ll also recommend
“The Whole Wide World” (1996)
About Robert E Howard.
The author who created Conan the Barbarian.
He was a fascinating man.
I’d recommend doing zero research and watching this completely blind.
Don’t look up anything about Robert E Howard, just watch this film!
Thank you, I've added your votes to both! (I don't choose my films, it is purely based on voting).
A game of speed, reflex, and reaction!" Kevin Murphy: "Beats the hell out of ET on the Atari." Rifftrax joke😂
The only issue with the dad taking care of the kids is that he's an alcoholic...
To us, from a modern perspective. It would have been horrifying in that time period.
@@alexachipman Horrifying because of the gender roles? I mean, it would have been horribly for them personally cuz an alcoholic can’t care for three young children, but I think u mean the gender role issue
I love the fashion historian side of you 🤣
I've seen this movie a dozen times and even though some people like shorter reactions on RUclips, This movie is really deep and I was a little disappointed it's only 20 minutes. I haven't watched it yet so maybe you did hit on all the high points and I hope that you enjoyed it.
It is for legal reasons, sorry. I don't choose to make my films short, but I need them to stand up in court if necessary. What for you is a few minutes of extra time, for me could mean literally losing everything in a legal battle, so yes I keep films to less than 15 minutes of footage.
@@alexachipman Understandable. I have seen some channels, with bigger "blockbusters" somehow manage to get away with 40 or 60 min reactions. Found you thru your Outlander reactions, I'm always here for those!
@@kimwatchesstuff People get away with shoplifting also, that doesn't make it right :)
I’ll be honest, I fast-forwarded past the flashbacks on the second watch of Saving Mr. Banks. It was so much more enjoyable. BTW, since you’ve already watched Silent Running, I confess I teared up a bit at the end of Silent Running. I guess will see if you had the same reaction.
I basically cried through the whole thing lol hopefully the reaction is not too boring!
❤❤❤
So guess she doesn’t like Disney much lol or at least the merchandise. 4:55 I just realized that’s Tom Hanks. 8:55 agreed she’s wearing red lipstick!
This was not the best film but it’s ok just not the greatest in my opinion 19:18 wipe them out All Of Them! Lol 😆 🤣
