Our third STOP on our FANTASY NOVEMBER 🚂 is .... The 7th Voyage of Sinbad!
The new Mary Poppins was not a remake, it's more a sequel.
As a kid, I always wanted to enter the Cartoon universe 15:20
This is the most perfect combination of Walt Disney’s creative gifts.
AGREE! It's pure magic!
The one who played the boy died young
It’s so fortunate for us they were able to get it done when they did, as it was the last film Walt Disney was alive to personally oversee. So much care and talent was put into every bit of it.
Evidently, a spoonful of sugar does work. Robert Sherman, one of the songwriters, had children that were due to receive the polio vaccine. He entered his son's bedroom and asked if it hurt, thinking he had gotten a shot. The child informed him that the medicine was instead placed on top of a cube of sugar and he simply swallowed it. Thus, the song was born
Wow! That's certainly a way to down medicine 😂 beautiful that it actually worked! Thanks for sharing this 😁
@@latenightswithsammy i heard they did that wish they still did.
wish my meds could change flavor
@@ThePinkDragon That is how I got my polio vaccine as well.
@@maryrichardson1318 [ heard that was cowman
This is the difference between the "Disney" we have today and the man, Walt Disney. The man was a genius.
Agreed+Agreed! True genius!
In the character of Mary Poppins, George Banks comes up against someone who is every bit as self-assured and abrasive as he is. But, Mary Poppins is always anchored by kindness that ultimately even brings George to kindness and love.
A beautiful character arc and third act change 😬
Theory is that Mary was Bert's nanny when he was younger, and a movie similar to Mary Poppins is Bedknobs and Broomsticks, two children evacuated from London who wind up with a witch in training who help battle German soldiers.
Three children in the movie; Carrie, Charlie, and Paul. I love B&B almost as much as Mary Poppins.
Woahhhhh! 🤯 Mary was Bert's nanny is amazing!
My personal headcanon theory is that Mary Poppins is Peter Pan's mother.
@@StoryMing Interesting theory! :)
@@latenightswithsammy
It doesn’t really quite fit what little we know of Peter Pan‘s mother from the book, but I still like to imagine it anyway..
2:49 - believe it or not, the actress playing Katie Nana is someone you've seen recently - it's Elsa Lanchester and she played The Bride in 'Bride of Frankenstein'!
ALL THESE YEARS AND I NEVER KNEW THAT!!!!
No way!!!!! That's brilliant! 😊
@@latenightswithsammy Of course, Lanchester also played Mary Shelley, author of the original 'Frankenstein' novel, in the movie's prologue. (Interesting...Elsa Lanchester had a dual role in Bride of Frankenstein...and Dick van Dyke had a dual role in Mary Poppins.)
She also played a witch in Bell Book & Candle. She played a nurse in Witness For The Prosecution.
In 1978, I went to NYC with a high school theater appreciation class to see Broadway shows. During the ride in the school van, our teacher explained we'd probably see lots of celebrities walking about so don't start screaming because New Yorkers respect their privacy. Sure enough on the way to the theater, we saw a famous soap opera actress and a student started screaming like she saw a Beatle. So embarrassing. When we returned to the hotel nearby after the show, it wasnt until a few of us were in the small elevator that I noticed Hermione Baddeley (Ellen, the maid). I looked around to see if anyone else recognized her which gave me time not to overreact. When no one even the girl who screamed earlier didnt seem to know who she was, I spoke up, called her by her name, and praised her performance. She was so giddy. She said she was living in the hotel and working somewhere.
WOW! that's awesome! I love that even small supporting roles are remembered ... Makes everything + everyone on the set of this magical films important ☺️
As I have aged, the end sequence and song “Let’s Go Fly A Kite “ really gets to me.
It is a beautiful tune to end the film on ☺️
I agreed!
For some reason, "Let's Go Fly a Kite" makes me happy. The part of this movie that always (every single time) makes me cry is "Feed the Birds". I'm an animal lover (including birds), and that always gets to me.
@@janhankins911 I never thought about crying during “Let’s Go Fly A Kite” until I saw the movie “Saving Mr. Banks.” When I saw that movie, I realized how much that song ties into the theme of salvation for the family and, directly, the father.
I cry on the Intro. The mix of "Feed the birds" and "A spoon full of sugar" is just pure Magic. Like Disney use to be in my childhood❤😭@@janhankins911
Walt Disney always pressed the technological limits of his time. This was 1964, and it is absolutely timeless.
AGREE + AGREE! A true pioneer!
The "spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down" line refers to what was then the common way the polio vaccine was administered, which was in a sugar cube.
correct, at first it was administered by inoculation and then later on a sugar cube, I know because I had both growing up. Do they even MAKE sugar in cubes anymore?
@@patticrichton1135 They do!!! I use them in my tea!! But most stores I've seen them in only have one brand, maybe two. You have to be looking for them to find them.
@@d.rayvenspencer C&H, no doubt.
@Kent Clark You are correct! Is it a monopoly? Probing questions I need answers to. Anyone know an investigative reporter???😏✌🏽
@@d.rayvenspencer Yeah. Charlton and Heston Investigations.
32:55 Saving Mr. Banks is the movie for you my dear!
It dives into the relationship between Walter Disney and the author of Mary Poppins: Mrs. P.L.Travers and how troubled the production was for this movie. Two creative minds clashing all the time, her not wanting to give up her beloved character and seeing it 'disneyfied.' The movie was a production nightmare, due to this.
Mary Poppins meant a great deal for her creator. Mrs. Travers hated every little thing Walt wanted to do with Mary and the movie Saving Mr. Banks really gives a somewhat romanticized but honest depiction of their coorporation together.
Warning: it's a tearjerker.
No way! I had no idea that film was about Mary Poppins ... That's very cool, and it kinda makes me want to watch it now 😂
A student once told me i was like Mary Poppins and it made my entire teaching career.
What a lovely compliment :)
“A Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Medicine Go Down.” I have always taken that to mean a positive outlook helps us face negatives and setbacks in life.
But I can say that it works literally as well ! As a little girl , it took years to learn how to swallow Panadol and Ibuprofen tablets when I was sick but thanks to that song , one day when I was sick and at my Grandma's house watching the movie , my Grandma had come up with the idea to try crushing it up and having it on a teaspoon with either a sugar , or with Nutella . I am much older now of course (21 years old) and can swallow tablets fine but I still don't like the taste of any medicine , so I always follow up that horrible taste with either a teaspoonful of sugar or Nutella similar to what I used to do as a kid 😂
Wow! That's such an interesting story! 😀 Love that it actually worked out in the end ☺️
Agree!
The Sherman Brothers came up with that because that's how vaccines were administered to children. It might have been the polio vaccine.
Mary Poppins blew the competition away-*LITERALLY!*
Right on! 😬
That’s an EXCELLENT COMPARISON to compare Dick’s dancing to The Scarecrow in The Wizard Of Oz.
I was thinking it too right before he made the comparison lol
Yes! They are both such talented performers!
Hey, you spelt supercalafragalisticexpialodocious correctly, well done! Usually fun to correct the spelling of that when it is attempted. When I was a kid I wanted to come up with a longer word, I came up with sockerstullastaptanocustcapparapparocious (and yes, to this day, I remember exactly how I spelt it too). It's definition? Never really decided.
😂😂 that's AMAZING! Now you have to find a definition for it ☺️
"That actor is so talented, he dances, he does comedy" - Not sure if you recognized Bert as Dick Van Dyke , who had just been discovered on "The Dick Van Dyke Show", one of the greatest sitcoms ever made (and everywhere on streaming), but you'd have recognized him if you'd also done "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", another movie very INTENTIONALLY similar to Mary Poppins.
Btw, did you stay till the end of the credits, where we see that the doddering old banker was played by "Nackvid Keyd"?
No way! That completely surpassed me ... He's such a gem! Definitely need to see more from him ... And no actually, don't think I caught that end credits. Will search it up on RUclips if it's there! Thanks for that 😊
If you've never reviewed "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", I can recommend it highly. It is, again, one I saw as a child and still love to this day.
Mary Poppins is a brilliant musical from the greatest era of musicals.
Couldn't have said it any better ☺️👍
I think a lot of people would consider this Walt Disney’s magnum opus before he passed away in 1966.
True! He was a TRUE pioneer!
When Mary Poppins was rereleased in theaters in 1973 ( that’s when I first saw it and was absolutely enchanted!), it was advertised on the posters as Walt Disney’s Greatest Achievement.
It seems to be that way! ☺️ PURE CINEMA!
It released in 1964. That's when it first opened in theaters. I saw it with my 4th grade class on a field trip. What a trip!
Did you not notice that BERT and the old father Banker were both played by Dick Van Dyke?
NO WAY! I didn't notice that at all! The make up was so convincing 😅
@@latenightswithsammy
It's a very big surprise "reveal" if you pay close attention to the movie's end credits.
This was a wonderful surprise! Mary Poppins is one I still watch now and then, it's a great experience. ^_^ Really glad you enjoyed it!
Yes! I'm so grateful to be able to watch this amazing film with you y'all! ☺️
Great reaction buddy.
You def should watch the 2013 film "Saving Mr Banks" with Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson, the story of how Mary Poppins got made by Walt Disney, it wonderful.
Also, did you notice the old banker was actually Bert lol
Yes! That would be a fantastic watch indeed! Thank you so much for the recommendation and kind words ... And no! I completely didn't notice that 😂 was too into the emotions to figure it out 😅
Feed the birds is so calming and comforting to me
This was the first movie I ever saw, and it has continued to bring me joy ever since. For years as a child I didn't realize that Mary Poppins was played by the same actress who played Maria in The Sound of Music... though there are definitely some plot similarities in the two films! It's wonderful to see that the magic has continued to hold up in this film, and if Walt Disney had never made another movie other than this he still would have earned his accolades.
By '68-'69 or so, we as a culture were so SICK of The Sound of Music playing theaters for literally four years in some cities, there was a backlash of jokes about Julie Andrews only playing sweet, sappy G-rated roles (which were a dirty word in the gritty 60's-70's), and that retroactively extended to jokes about Mary Poppins twittering about spoonfuls of sugar.
It wasn't until Disney's 80's rush of rereleases that we got a good look at it--I remember being in an audience that had never seen the movie except by reputation, and Sammy's experience was ours.
I love that this film is so dear to so many people ... Definitely feels like magic to experience it for the first time with y'all 🙂
My grandma told me that the lady who played Mary Poppins was the same lady who played Maria in "The Sound of Music". I told her that she was wrong: clearly Mary Poppins had brown hair and Maria had blond hair. It took me a long time to figure that one out. :)
That scene toward the end where Mr Banks is walking through the streets towards the bank, knowing he's about to be fired, remains one of the movie's most memorable moments. While the President and his son do mention the Boston Tea Party of 1773, I wonder if the line about it causing a run on the bank actually happened.
George Banks is in his own zone, in his own head space so much when we first see him.
It's fantastic to see the magic happening in this movie and the splendid humour! You were so delighted and called things "cool" when they happened, and I enjoyed your reactions! I had such fun watching this!
It is PURE CINEMA! Thank you so much for the kind words ☺️
This was the last role for the actress who played ‘The Bird Woman.’ Her name was Jane Darwell. I think she was a prominent character actress in Old Hollywood. Probably, her most important role today, outside of The Bird Woman, is Ma Joad in the 1940 movie The Grapes of Wrath.
Interesting! Thank you for sharing this 😊
Nanny McPhee is a similar story, but the nanny in this film has a few warts. Mary Poppins Returns isn't well-liked, but what I did love about it was that they brought back a few of the original actors from the first movie 50 years later. The movie "Saving Mr. Banks" is not only about the origin of the Mary Poppins story, but also how Disney managed to negotiate the rights to make that movie. In the meantime, while Mary Poppins was still in the planning stages, there was another movie in the works called "Bedknobs and Broomsticks." In this movie, you get to see the actor David Tomlinson again who co-stars with Angela Lansbury. It was put on hold for several years even after Mary Poppins was completed. Mary Poppins is tough to top because it's "practically perfect in every way."
I'm so hyped for 'Saving Mr. Banks!' Thank you so much for sharing this info ... Oh, and I definitely agree with your sentiment of Mary Poppins being perfect ... Cause it is! 😊
@@latenightswithsammy Just be sure to look up PJ Travers and the stage performances of Mary Poppins. That’s all I’ll say for now.
Julie Andrews, who played Mary Poppins, was hoping to start in My Fair Lady, but they (Mr Mayer) gave the part to Audrey Hepburn, who was very cute, but whose singing had to be dubbed. She was very disappointed. Disney offered her the part in Mary Poppins, and she was free, so she got the part. Later, she won the academy award for it (over Audrey Hepburn). In her acceptance speech, she thanked Mr. Meyer "who made this all possible" (by NOT hiring her for My Fair Lady).
Sweet redemption 😆 thanks for sharing this Jane!
So growing up, life was a lot. Nothing was guaranteed, nothing was sure... Except for this movie. I watched it over and over because i knew what was coming and it made me feel safe.
Bert always felt so familiar to me. Like, especially as an adult, i relate to Bert so much. When you look at him, he's alone, covered in suit, has a very 'lowly' job, art wasn't valued back then, his talents weren't Truley appreciated. but he laughed; he smiled; he danced, and he made everyone around him feel safe and loved.
To this day, Mary Poppins in my favorite movie and Bert is my favorite character of all time.
Seeing another adult, watch this movie and fall in love with it makes me so happy. Thank you for reacting to this movie. Thank you for loving this masterpiece
Wow! Thank YOU so much for sharing your experience and love for BERT! He's such an awesome character .... And might I say too, you have great taste in films 😊
Don't know if that's the actual reason, but whenever I see someone with their feet this open naturally - I assume they are highly trained in dance, usually Ballet. I danced for 5-6 years and never had such walk, but I saw it all the time in the older groups
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing this Alma ☺️
If you haven't seen it yet, you should watch The Sound of Music (1965) with Julie Andrews and Christopher Plumber. It's my all time favourite musical!
I also like the musical Grease (1978) which has a lot of fun songs and dancing. Grease is my second favourite musical.
I would love if you would consider reacting to these two musicals!
Absolutely! Those are two great films! I've heard so much about grease ... It looks awesome!
It's magical, with Mary Poppins....
Agree 💯
Another great Disney Musical from this era to watch is Bedknobs and Broomsticks with Angela Lansbury and David Tomlinson (the father) from this film.
Many facts for this film:
1. P.L. Travers who was the original author of the Mary Poppins books had refused Walt Disney’s offers to make it into a film for over 20 years and so in the late 50’s he actually went to meet her in her London home hoping to use his personal charm on her and so soon after she finally gave him the rights to make the film, but during the early stages Robert Sherman who was one of the songwriters along with his brother said “She was a witch” and absolutely hated everything everyone was wanting to do, but she was basically only a consultant, after the release of the film she wanted nothing to do with it and in the early 90’s she allowed the studio to only do two things in regards to the property.If they so choose to a sequel film could be done. A broadway show, but no one involved with the original film could be part of that project,
2. When Glynis Johns received the call from Walt to be in the film she though she was going to play Mary Poppins, but Walt wanted her as the mother and so she said as a little incentive if she could haver her own song for the film and so the Sherman Brothers rewrote a previous unused song called “Practically Perfect” into “Sister Suffragette”,
3. Many songs and sequences for the film were thought up including where the children would spin a compass and it would take them to different areas and a different song for each area where one was called North Pole Polka, another Tea in Timbuktu, while the other two unused songs found their way in other Disney films later on with The Land of Sand being reworked to become Trust in Me in The Jungle Book from 1967, and The Beautiful Briny Sea would end up in Bedknobs and Broomsticks,
4. Several of the women who wait outside to apply for the nanny position are actually men because they couldn’t find enough ugly women.
5. In the animation sequence people like the songwriters, Julie Andrews and multiple others do voices and David Tomlinson voiced Mary Poppins Parrot umbrella at the end.
6. The choreographers Marx Beraux and Dee Dee Wood would go on to do the choreography for many other classic musicals including: The Sound of Music, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and The Slipper and the Rose and Dick Van Dyke had no previous dance training,
7. Several of the chimney sweep dancers were the old men on the bench in Enchanted during the song “That’s How you Know”
8. The woman who played the Bird Woman is legendary Actress Jane Darwell who starred in over 100 films and at the time she had been retired, but Walt Disney convinced her to be in the film and personally sent a car to pick her up everyday and treated her like Royalty.
9. Besides being Bert in the film Dick Van Dyke as Mr Dawes Sr when he would be dressed up in all that makeup he would troll the backlot tours by making them think it was an old man and cross in front of them as slowly as possible then right as they were about to pull away he would sprint off as quickly as possible and that credit was at the end of the end credits as Navckid Keyd and then the letters unscramble themselves to spell Dick Van Dyke plus there is a chorus reprise of Let’s Go Fly a Kite: ruclips.net/video/Kt4IoCOztMU/видео.html
10. Julie Andrews was hoping to be in the film version of My Fair Lady which she started on broadway, but Warner Brothers wanted someone who was actually a star as Julie had not been in a film yet so they went with Audrey Hepburn. However the story doesn’t end there as Julie Andrews was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy opposite Audrey Hepburn for My Fair Lady and she won and in her acceptance speech she ended it with “Finally my thanks to a man who made a wonderful movie and made this all possible in the first place Mr Jack Warner.” and everyone lost it including Mr Warner with him laughing, Then at the Academy Awards this film was nominated for 13 Oscars and won for:
Best Actress,
Best Song for Chim Chim Cheree,
Best Original Score,
Best Visual Effects,
and Best Film Editing.
It was nominated additionally for Best Picture, Director, Art Direction, Costume Design, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Scoring Treatment, and Sound unfortunately losing many of those to My Fair Lady.
11. Know before Walt had chose Julie to play Mary Poppins several people that were thought of as possibilities included: Bette Davis and Angela Lansbury then one sunday night the Sherman Brothers saw on the Ed Sullivan Show an excerpt performance of a broadway show called Camelot where Julie Andrews was the lead actress and they knew immediately she was the one so the next day they marched into Don Dagradi’s (another writer on the film) office and he said to them did you see the Ed Sullivan Show last night so all three of them went to Walt’s office and so then Walt went to see a performance of Camelot in New York and met with her after the show and was able to convince her to be in the film and Walt was willingly to wait as she was pregnant at the time and Julie’s husband then also ended up part of the film as he designed all of the costumes,
12. Dick Van Dyke ended up in the film because of an article Walt read of how he didn’t like that films then were becoming as he described as “dirty pictures” also it helped that basically everyone knew who Dick was as he had a hit tv show with The Dick Van Dyke show and this was only his second film after being in a film version of the broadway show Bye Bye Birdie,
13. Ed Wynn (Uncle Albert) was the Mad Hatter Walt always wanted to have him in something he appeared in several other Disney films including: The Absent Minded Professor, Son of Flubber, and Babes in Toyland.
14. When they were in the early development stages of the film Walt gave his songwriters Richard and Robert Sherman a copy of the book to read of what they thought would be good material for the film and they underlined six chapters in red crayon and when they went in to see Walt they handed him the book and he chuckled because in his copy of the book he had underlined the exact same six chapters in red crayon as well.
15. The inspiration for the song “A Spoonful of Sugar came with Richard Sherman’s son came home from school and he asked what had happened to learn he had been given the polio vaccine to which his dad asked if it hurt and he explained no they put the medicine on a sugar cube on a spoon and we swallowed it. A literal spoonful of sugar helped the medicine go down.
16. The inspiration for the song Let’s Go Fly a Kite was actually from the Sherman Brothers childhood as there dad as they said would make these wonderful kites that would fly all day,
17. The inspiration for the song Step in Time is actually an old english folk song called Knees Up Mother Brown and the Sherman Brothers learned about it as Peter Ellenshaw who did the vidual effects and matte paintings and glass paintings for the film was basically they resident Brit taught the dance to on3 of the writer Bill Walsh and Walt Disney and Richard Sherman saw the three of them with their elbows linked together in the office kicking their knees up,
18. The inspiration for the song Supercalifragilisticexpiladocious was the Sherman Brothers wanted to make it so Mary Poppins gave the children a gift in the form of this ridiculously long word and the medley for it was two British Folk Songs: Boiled Beef and Carrots along with Any Old Iron,
19. When the brothers were playing songs for Walt one day a couple hours they thought would work for the film at the end he asked them to play that bird woman song again to which Walt walked over to the window saying “That’s what it’s all about isn’t it?” Referring to the theme of the film. It was Walt’s favorite song the studio ever made and every Friday Walt would meet with the brother and just talk about things going on at the studio and other projects and at the end of their meeting he would always ask them to play the song by saying “Play it” and when they finished it he would send them off saying “Have a good weekend boys.”
20. Even after Walt’s death Richard Sherman would still go into Walt’s office on a Friday afternoon and play the song and on what would have been Walt’s 100th Birthday he went the celebration when the dedication of the Partners statue was unveiled and played the song saying it was only for Walt at the end of the song he blew a kiss to the statue said Happy Birthday and walked off, but he was told later on that when he was nearing the end of the song out of the clear blue sky a single bird came down near the piano and off back into the sky.
21. All of Mary Poppins was filmed indoors.
22. The old woman that children encountered when they run away from the bank is Actress who voiced Cruella DeVil in “101 Dalmatians”.
23. When on the carousel the horses match their personalities,
24. The two children in the film Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber appeared in a total of three films for Disney together this was their second the previous is The Three Lives of Thomasina and the latter was The Gnome Mobile unfortunately Matthew would die of Food poisoning in the 70’s,
25. The bird that sings with Julie Andrews during a Spoonful of Sugar is actually an animatronic and Julie also did the whistling for the bird,
26. The reason the waiters are penguins is Walt saw a storyboard where these four male waiters were singing to Mary Poppins and remarked “Waiters always remind me of penguins”.
I took a majority of these facts from the behind the scenes making of the film. If you would like to watch it here is the link: ruclips.net/video/NtYJlmdn48U/видео.html the rest though I learned from things such as audio commentary track, books, and just internet research.
Thank you so so much for providing these awesome trivia facts! A joy to read 😌
I love you picked up on the specific 'every second tuesday off' I wrote a fanfiction of sorts as that line inspired me as to what Mary Poppins gets up on her day off
YES! Not sure what that was all about ... But it definitely was intriguing. Interested to hear the premise of your theory ☺️
To be honest it was less a theory and was kind of bitter sweet.
It was her relationship with Burt. Mary is of the magical world and Burt is somewhat liminal. The words that came to my head that made the story was Mary saying 'we can sometimes be together but we can never stay together'.
I might be wrong, but I think this was the first movie ever to mix live action and cartoon animation.
Also Dick Van Dyke, who played Bert, is a comedy legend.
I don't think I've seen one before it, so you might be correct! It's definitely a trail blazer, with a stellar cast 😄
Yes, that was the first
The mixing of live action and animation goes all the way back to the silent movie era. Disney's first successful series of shorts was the *Alice* comedies (1923-1927), which featured a live-action girl having adventures in an animated world.
@35:50 they're doing a civilian version of what's called Cashiering. It was something that was done for members of the military in Europe as punishment (and dismissal), but they would rip off a person's insignia, stripping them of their rank, tear badges and medals off the uniform, break their sword, knock their covers off their heads, slice off buttons, basically destroying the uniform, etc. It was done in front of everyone as a means of degradation.
Ahh ... Very interesting! Thank you for sharing this my friend ☺️
Another minute on the credits and you would have known one of the best jokes of the film.
I was looking for this comment@
Ah shucks ... Gotta catch it now 😉
Supercalifragilisticexpalidocious is my favorite song, and my favorite word to say
6:43 I'm guessing 10 cents back then was just enough to qualify as "a lot when you're a kid".
Katie Nana (Elsa Lancaster) I look at her and to me she will always be the "Bride of Frankenstein"
I've seen this movie probably 1000 times, that's not even an exaggeration but I also really enjoyed the more recent sequel Mary Poppins returns. If you have time I would suggest giving that one a chance too with an open mind. It stars Emily Blunt and Lin Manuel Miranda, it's very different but very good and also well made. Thanks for your reaction I thoroughly enjoyed it. ✌️❤️
Thank you so much for writing in Riley! I appreciate your kindness and suggestion 😊 Really glad you have such an admiration for this beautiful film 😊
Me again...even with everything I understand about the technical aspects of movie making, there are STILL things about this movie I don't know how they did. Bert and Mary Poppins friendship goes back a long way, I think, and Bert wound up being one of her most successful assignments. CreditMarc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood for the dancing. They were dancers under choreographer Michael Kidd early in their careers.
That's the MAGIC of this film, it's indescribable :)
Chim chim Cheerie song won academy Award for best song in a film for the year 1964. the old man banker is the same actor who played Bert the Chimney Sweep. Dick Van Dyke.
I quite enjoyed that song, it was so funny and uplifting ☺️ and I kinda love the fact that actors played more than one role ... Goes to show how freaking talented they are! 😁
Very good review. And you have a nice easiness to yourself. I saw this film when it came out and I was 5 years old. I'm now 63 and had a career in musical theatre as an actor, dancer, singer, writer, director, and choreographer. This movie and Dick Van Dyke(Bert) were a big part of that. I remember having the album and learning all the lyrics. Thank you for that.
Woah!!! That's awesome ... I'm so glad you wrote in ☺️ and thank you so much for the kind words and support 👍
MARY POPPINS RETURNS is a SEQUEL. It takes place 25 years after the events of this movie
Mary Poppins has come back to help Michael, who is now an adult, and going through a tragic difficulty.. Don't let anyone tell you MARY POPPINS RETURNS is a remake.
This was my childhood. You can blame Julie Andrews and Disney for my obsession with musicals and opera. Started with this film, the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Then I found Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables at the ripe old ages of five and eight. Natural progression from musicals to opera after that. Then again I just adore music.
Wow ... Very impressive catalogue to have experienced at such a young age!
I saw MARY POPPINS when it came out in 1964, and from the beginning, I had the sense of it becoming a new WIZARD OF OZ. The actor who portrayed Bert was Dick Van Dyke, who was already known for his work on television in his own show, THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW. He had also appeared in a few movies, including WHAT A WAY TO GO before this one. Also, he is an accomplished artist and cartoonist. But the artwork used in the sidewalk chalk sequence was done by the Disney staff.
The integration of the live action and animation in the Jolly Holiday chalk drawing sequence was accomplished by the Blue Screen Sodium Matte process, developed by Walt Disney's original partner, Ub Iwerks. He won the Academy Award for developing this process that was also used in Alfred Hitchcock's THE BIRDS, which came out the year before.
The best Disney movie that was or ever will be. It's perfect.
Best live action Disney movie 🤔 ? Pretty much hands down the winner ☺️
Sammy, I’m really appreciating your reviews of the old classic cartoons and light-hearted films like this. You seem genuinely to appreciate all the components of the stories/films/techniques, and you have the open-eyed wonder of a child during his first viewing. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for this Mike! The film is really magical, and I had so much fun watching it 😊
If you read the books she'd kill Thanos in about 3 seconds if she wanted to.She's a time lord.
No doubt at all! Great point 😊
A very short piece of fanfiction I wrote. For anyone who is interested.
*ITEM 14*
_”Mary Poppins, don't you love us?"_
The question lingered as I watched the children go skipping off up Cherry Tree Lane with their father, mother, and mended kite- without saying goodbye; as Beaky (that's my umbrella handle) was so kind as to point out.
_”And what would become of me, may I ask, if I loved all the children I said goodbye to?"_
Practically perfect people _never_ lie. They simply... evade (when necessary).
But the question surprised me, coming from Jane; it was unlike her not to see past the end of her nose. It was right there in the advertisement, after all: Item 14. Between the interdict on castor oil and gruel, and the barley water clause.
Did she honestly think I would have accepted any position for which I did NOT meet the qualifications?
Please write some MORE! Can't believe I didn't get to this sooner ... And now, for some odd reason, I have an urge to watch this new sequel ☺️
@@latenightswithsammy
The sequel is an okay movie, but not on the level of the original z
Step in Time took 6 weeks to get right and everyone loves Dick Van Dyke for his dancing but HE'S NEVER HAD A DANCING LESSON IN HIS LIFE he just moves his body to the music his role in this is the epitome of living a happy life doing what u like and liking what u do he bounces around to whatever "job" he wants whether it actually pays money or not
The effects were way ahead of their time so was the whole movie itself
If that's not the definition of pure Cinema and performance ... I don't know what is ☺️ such a cool fact! Thanks for sharing and writing in!
37:57 Is it me, or does this song kinda sound like that one bit near the end of "Poor Wandering One" from _The Pirates of Penzance?_
Dang, even the Sherman Brothers were influenced by Gilbert & Sullivan.
The thing of spoonfull of sugar is, if I'm not wrong, a way used for make kids take medicine : sugar was ad on it for making taste better.
In fact, the movie with Emily Blunt isn't a remake but a sequel of this movie. Dick Van Dyke aka Bert and Mr Dawes Sr appears in it as Mr Dawes Jr and the actress who played Jane makes a cameo.
Unfortunately, the actor who played Michael is dead at 21.
After seeing that movie, you have to see the sequel but also the two movies of " Nanny McPhee ".
In France, where I live, we have a series called " Josephine, guardian angel " where the main character has a bag like Mary Poppins' but smaller
The longest word I learned at school is... antidisestablishmentarianism. I learned the word in the movie as a kid, from the movie. Dick Van Dyke played the old guy in the bank as well. Recently he asked to play the old guy in the most recent re-make, this time without so much make-up.
Don't you just love it when you learn something new from a film 🙂 Great morals / characters / and songs ... Pure Cinema
I don’t know if you meant to put a trivia fact for this film in at 35:39, but the fact listed is for Pinocchio.
Ahh shucks! Bummer ... Thank you for pointing that out ... Will have better quality control on the next episodes 🙂
The longest recorded word is actually ,,Grundstücksverkehrsgenehmigungszuständigkeitsübertragungsverordnung". It's german and means Property transaction permit transfer of responsibility ordinance.
Wow ... that's probably really hard to pronounce 😅
Mary Poppins flying to and landing on the doorstep is a pretty famous scene from the movie. It was always shown as Trademark Disney High Quality in the introduction to The Wonderful World of Disney on ABC when I was a child.
I love that scene! So beautiful! ,🥰
It is special. It might be even more special if it had actually been Julie Andrews instead of her stunt double. But that's show biz. The opening shot is a large painting on glass with a void through which is film of Mary Poppins sitting on the cloud, then panning down to another void with film of people in the park. A review from the time highlighted the rooftop sequence as "the reason movies were invented". The songs are catchy, which is probably why the film won Oscars for both best score and best song.
Oh and the guy who played Uncle Alfred was the voice of the Mad Hatter on " Alice in Wonderland "
Most reaction videos leave me flat. However, I'm really enjoying your obvious delight in seeing this for the first time. I've loved it since I saw in theaters on its original release.
'Mary Poppins Returns' is not a remake; it's a sequel that takes place 25 years after the events in this film. Karen Dotrice (Jane Banks in this film) has a cameo, as do the penguins. They also recreated the Cherry Tree Lane set exactly has seen here.
The act of a suffragette chaining herself to the Prime Minister's carriage may seem drastic these days, but it was mild compared to what some women did in order to obtain the right to vote. And some of the punishments they received were absolutely horrific. One woman, Emily Wilding Davison, ran out onto the racecourse at the Derby, and was knocked down by the King's horse. She died three days later. It was caught on film: ruclips.net/video/8qkU_imbFoE/видео.html If you can find the British miniseries 'Shoulder to Shoulder' (it's sometimes on RUclips), you'll get a deeper insight into what Mrs. Banks was advocating. Emmaline Pankhurst (the one referred to as being 'clapped in irons again') actually existed, and was one of the major leaders of the movement.
Combining live-action with animation has been around practically since movies were invented. Disney had a series of such shorts called 'Alice in Cartoonland' in the 1920s.
Remember Michael's tuppence (two pennies) when you watch 'Mary Poppins Returns'. It's crucial to the solution of the problems in that film.
'Mary Poppins' did become a stage production, first in London's West End in 2004, and then on Broadway in 2006. Here's the 'Step in Time' number from the latter: ruclips.net/video/1VNGIQ51aiw/видео.html
By the way, David Tomlinson (Mr. Banks) also provided the voice of the parrot umbrella at the end. Oh, and did you catch who played Mr. Dawes, Sr.?
It is always a delight to see PURE CINEMA for the first time ... So glad to be able to share it 🙂
You may recognise the penguin waiters from a certain detective film. A thing about a dude called Roger…
NO WAY!?! that's the connection ... BRILLIANT!
Loved watching Mary Poppins with you , I loved how it brought the child in you!
It sure did! Thank you so much for this comment 😊
Dunno if you recognized but the actor who plays Bert is also the very old banker, with props to make him look old
Also even if here it's a metaphor about making chores fun, using sugar in medicine to drink does make it taste a lil bit better lol
Embarrassingly enough, I didn't notice it ... And true, I think there's some truth to the sugar thing 😁
Mary Poppins, what Disney use to be.
PURE CINEMA!
Great reaction! I adore this movie on so many levels
Thank you for tuning in Stewart! And yes, this film is a multi-layered masterpiece 😆
Thank you Sammy!!!❤😊
Great reaction. I got to see this on the big screen as a kid.
Yeahhh ! Someone who really “got” the message of this classic 👍 thanks for sharing 🤗
Thank you for this comment! It is a marvelous story 🙂
feed the birds was Walt Disney's Favorite from his movies he asked the composor to play [t for him once a week
Did you realize that the old an at the bank was actually played by Dick Van Dyke (Bert) as well.
I didn't 😅 kinda goes to show how slow/immersed I am ... It was only until someone pointed it out in the comments that I found out ☺️
Oh yeah, this film is a gem of film innovation and creativity. The behind the scenes of just the cartoon segment alone is incredibly fascinating, if you are a film nerd like me😊
Ohhh YES! Gotta watch it now 😜
Dick van Dike (sp?) the guy who played Bert has always been good at adlibbing. It would have been interesting to see a movie where he played alongside Robin Williams
Yes it would! Have yet to see Hook ... Heard so many good things about it ☺️
Mr. Dawes Sr. was also played by Dick Van Dyke.
Can't believe I didn't catch that 😂
I would imagine it depends on the medicine; there are probably ones which do not mix with sugar. But the song was inspired by hearing about the- I think, polio vaccine?- which was in fact actually administered on/in a lump of sugar.
And yes, that’s Dick VanDyke, as Bert. An extremely talented performer.
Re: animation and live action combined... Mary Poppins did it first, but have you checked out ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’?
That's fascinating to know ... Sugar cube medicine 😅 sounds delicious 🤤
Completely agree regarding DVD ... A legend!
And yup, I've seen WFRR .. another fun/amazing flick ☺️
Would be good to see Marry Poppins returns . Peet's Dragon (original version) , Bed knobs and broomsticks , and Saving Mr Banks
Yesssss!! Such good films you listed there 😁
Can I humbly make a request? The Last Unicorn. It’s a very cool fantasy film.
Ohh ... Looks very interesting! Adding it to the list indefinitely 😁
03:08 That's nothing; the suffragettes also threw stones at 10 Downing Street. Unlike the suffragists they were intent on forcing the issue with acts of rebellion.
04:50 "I knew you were highly efficient, but this is ridiculous!"
13:17 It does if you're getting a technoshot.
28:54 Looks like the Docklands as they were.
35:57 Yes and no. It's a pastiche of the act of cashiering a member of the military.
*Mondegreen*
06:25 "(Liquorice) Allsorts."
Good points 👆
Very entertaining and brilliant!!
Yes it is 😁
So glad you liked it.
Brilliant film! Thank you for recommending it ☺️
Did you know that the Uncle was the voice actor for the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland?
Wow! I had no idea .. thank you so much for sharing this and enhancing my next viewing ☺️
Dick Van Dyke and julie Andrews played so well off of one another. They were made for those characters.
The old man in the bank is the same actor as Burt: Dick Van Dyke, who is still alive and aged better than his "old man" character.
Don't forget the fact he plays the son of his old character in " Mary Poppins return "
Julie Andrews also whistled for the bird in a spoonful of sugar also
I love that 👍☺️
I just realized something-Mary Poppins is a Jedi Master-She influenced George Banks to take the kids to the bank
😂😂 - question now is ... Is she a Mary Sue?
LOVE your pink hat
Thanks Mare 😊
i don't know if anyone else said this but if you really loved the live action blending with animation i'd highly recommend the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit- i don't know how to describe it honestly but it's a favorite of mine that i grew up with
Already reacted to it ☺️ think it was about 1-2 months ago 😁
@@latenightswithsammy oh, alright! Just wanted to make sure
The Broadway version is amazing as well if you ever get the chance to see it. This was my favorite reaction!
I have to check it out! And thank you so much for the kind words ☺️
If you like Dick Van Dyke multiple award winner except for an Oscar, check him out in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang which is a musical. Sadly the boy who played Michael died at 21 after getting hepatitis in India passing away in the UK. Julie Andrews won an Oscar and her other famous films are The Sound of Music and Victor/Victoria.
Great movies to load up for Musical May 😀 Thank you for writing in!
Fun. 😀
Yes it is 😀
Newcomer - I liked your reaction
Thank you so much for the kind words 🙂
You should watch The Sound of Music if you haven’t, Julie Andrews is incredible in that too!
Yes! That's definitely one I need to get to! It looks so magical ☺️
Sir if you like Mary Poppins and the live action animation combos, you need to check out Bedknobs and broomsticks. They won the best special effects Oscar for their sequence. You’ll really love it.
A spoonful of sugar can also cure hiccups.
No way! I'll actually try that out ☺️
JOY
😆
In my opinion Dick Van Dyke is the greatest actor in history. You should check out his show from the 60’s The Dick Van Dyke Show.
YES! I gotta check out more of him ... He's electric 😆
You're a joy to watch
Thank you so much for the kind words ☺️
