Dick Van Dyke's Mary Poppins Return Had the Director Crying

[@Bimfirestarter]

When old actors from the days of CLASSIC movies still do their thing in a new movie that's an homage to the old, What can I say? It's just irresistibly heartwarming.

yep just like Tom Baker with Doctor Who :)

Some of the other chimney sweep dancers from the original Mary Poppins did something similar! In Disney's "Enchanted"! When Giselle is doing the "That's How You Know" number. The old men dancing a jig while offering sunflowers to their sweethearts? That's them!

I’ll never forget the opening of Mary Poppins back in 1964. Mom and all 7 of us kids were in the station wagon just about to back out of the driveway and I smarted off to my Mom. She gave me “the look” but I didn’t heed it. Without saying one word, she pulled forward, turned off the car, and said ... we’re not going to see Mary Poppins and you can thank your brother and his mouth. I tried to apologize but Mom felt a lesson needed to be taught. A week later, we went and believe you me my mouth was shut and I was on best behavior! Sped ahead all these years later, I went on opening day December 19, 2018 ... with memories of Mom, my siblings, and on my best behavior!

[@Kira1Lawliet]

I read somewhere that Julie Andrews declined to cameo in this because she didn't want to take the spotlight from Emily Blunt, but ironically, P.L. Travers, the author of the original Mary Poppins novels, stipulated firmly in her will (or she had an agreement with the Walt Disney Company, I forget which) that no more Mary Poppins movies be made unless Julie Andrews were involved. So, considering that the author of the books felt so strongly about it, I think we can chalk this up to a case of an actress actually being too humble.

[@swarlock]

And she was right to give Emily the spotlight. She has no ego .

[@Fuliginosus]

Tradition dictates that the wishes of PL Travers be ignored.

[@EricAriel5]

Travers didn’t want Julie Andrews for the role,she thought she was too beautiful,it was written in her will for no more films ever since her experience with the first was so terrible,she did give permission for the stage version,Rob Marshall asked her estate and whoever is in charge of that gave the go ahead Once he explained what he was planning on doing.

Dick Van Dyke was not the only actor from the original "Mary Poppins" to appear in "Mary Poppins Returns." Karen Dotrice, who played Jane Banks in the 1964 classic, made a walk-on appearance about half way through the sequel. However, it was the two ageless legends, Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury, who most delighted audiences in "Mary Poppins Returns." Rest In Peace, Angela. Happy 99th Birthday, Dick!

[@Forgotten_Lore]

That accent may have been terrible but at the same time it was absolutely perfect! It is now stands alone as the worst part of Mary Poppins but also one of the best parts, it wouldn't be the same if they didn't have it/got someone in who had a real Cockney accent.
