Fun fact! One of Travers' publishers was Peter Llewellyn Davies, who was one of the inspirations for "Peter Pan". He once met the elderly Alice Pleasance Liddell-Hargreaves, who is the inspiration for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". So apparently Mary Poppins has connections to Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland.

They leave a hint of that in the movie, when Mary Poppins insists that a respectable nanny like her would never win a horse race while riding a carousel horse. I've read a WMG, though, that suggests that back in that time period, if the kids would be seen as "making up stories," it would be as bad as lying, so nothing good would have come from them talking about it.

Mary Poppins is one of my sentimental favorite movies of all time. I had the soundtrack album too. I remember back when me and my niece were kids, we'd say the rhyme that Bert said when trying to jump into one of his drawings, (while Mary rolls her eyes) : You wink You think You do a double blink then Close your eyes and jump We'd be at the top of the backyard slide, then jump and go down the slide. We each had a Mary Poppins umbrella 🌂 mine was lavender hers was pink, mine was prettier. I'm retirement age now and l still watch it. I never saw Saving Mr Banks. I had the book but never read it through. I think l started but then got disgusted when the book wasn't the same as the movie. I thought they made the movie THEN wrote the book. (I was only 7 or 8). Every time l watch the movie, when the scene they visit Uncle Albert they have the tea party but when it's time to go home, they come down from the ceiling but what happens to the table? This video was entertaining, l liked it.

Fun fact. The song "Beautiful Briney Sea" from the 1971 film "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" (or as my late Grandad called it 'Bed Knobs and Bobcocks") was originally meant to be in "Mary Poppins" but was cut, since the Sherman Brothers wrote the soundtrack for both Movies. The bath scene in "Mary Poppins Returns" is a tribute to this. David Tomlinson (Mr Brown) was also in "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" as 'Professor' Emelius Browne. Speaking of, who wants to see a "Messed Up Origins" on "Bedknobs and Broomsticks?" The plot to both books and the Movie are actually totally different.

PL Travers was a complicated person to say the least; writing was her way of coping with her traumatic childhood so I can understand why she was so protective about her character's portrayal on the big screen but it doesn't excuse her behaviour or lying to her adoptive son about how he was adopted and had a twin brother. Also I'm glad you brought up Saving Mr Banks, it's a really good movie. One of the best scenes for me was when Walt goes to London to see Travers to convince her to finish the movie while discussing their respective fathers which led to this wonderful quote: "that's what storytellers do, we restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again." Excellent video Jon

Funnily enough, Mary actually teaches a similar lesson to Jane and Michael about their bad behavior in the original play. She notices the children are often angry, but when talking to them doesn't work, she sets off a nightmarish scene after leaving the room. One by one, their toys come to life--as tall as adults, telling them it's their version of the nursery--explaining to them how losing your temper can hurt those around you, with the toys often being victims of their tantrums. The children are even put on trial where they are found guilty, and are threatened to never return to their safe nursery again. But after trying to hide under the bedsheets, Mary Poppins walks in and everything is back to normal. The really sad thing is that the song, "Temper Temper", is actually incredible, but since children in the audience found the scene too disturbing, it was taken out of future production. I'm so grateful I got to see it.

In retrospect, the stereotypes that were in the original version of the book were pretty bad, especially the mandarin, who did not talk in a tinky tinky dialect, but did use lots of unnecessary Chinese style talk about being unworthy, etc., and the black lady and her husband, who talked in a painfully obvious dialect and offered watermelon.

It's slang for whiskey. And George at one point mentions that Katie Nanna had liver complaints. In other words, it seems like Jane and Michael were being raised by an alcoholic.

Are we going to ignore the ending of the twins chapter? Cuz that starlings depression made me very very sad for some reason I don't know why, honestly this book felt like a fever dream but then I started reading the second one and it felt even more like a wild fever dream and then I never finished it and I kind of want to go back and read the rest of the series even though it's complete and total chaos

Not only is Feed The Birds an iconic song in it's own right but it was also Walt Disney's favorite song. He'd have the Sherman Brothers sing it for him every Friday. All he'd have to say is "Sing it" or just stare longingly out the window.
@LucyLioness1002 жыл бұрын
Hearing the Sherman Brothers share the story is truly one of the sweetest. The brothers even played the song after Walt passed away and you can see the friendship in their eyes when telling that memory

The most bizarre part of the book I remember is in the zoo chapter. Mary gets into a zen state and starts chanting. She sings that the rabbits eat the grass and the hyenas eat the rabbits and the lions eat the hyenas and we all eat someone else and then we die and the grass eats us so its all a cycle, a circle, and forever. When I first read that I thought it was a strange thing to put in a children's story.

Wow that ending really hit me. I honestly feel for both Travers and the people working on the movie because they should be treated with respect but they also should've stuck to Travers vision since it was her story and meant a lot to her.

If you're doing a series highlighting the differences in nostalgic stuff, I would suggest Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The film is almost entirely different from the book, Dick Van Dyke was in it, and Hushabye Mountain is definitely one of my favorite lullabies.

Read Mary Poppins at the age of 12. Loved it and so glad that other people are talking about it too! I actually got to know the books in a really fun way. One evening I found one of the Mary Poppins books on my desk. I later asked my mother if she had put it there and she said: "No I didn't. Mary Poppins did!" I then asked if she was Mary and she looked at me with a mischievous glint in her eye and said "Yes! Yes I am!"

Im sorry she gave the song writers and other people on the project ptsd though

As a writer myself I understand the protectiveness involved. Diana Wynne Jones was slightly more gracious than Travers when Ghibli ruined her book. You'd need at least an hour to cover the differences between the book and anime, though. I'd avoid that one if I were you.

I agree and not every book needs be retold in a movie adaptation but she did like Miyazaki take on her book about Sophie and Howl, that’s the big difference. 🤷🏽♀️ I would use Tove Jansson or Astrid Lindgren in this case, she did say no which was accepted by the director, and didn’t want Pippi to a Ghibli work and instead we got Kiki which partly based in Sthlm,

Yeah the thing about “ruining” a book is that the book is still there to be read afterwards. It’s still the same good work that we remember. Just because he movie is different doesn’t mean it’s bad either. Now we just have two wonderful and captivating stories based on the same premis. The fact that the authors of both Howel’s Moving Castle, Princesse Diaries, and The Black Cauldron seem to actually like their movie adaptions seem to me to mean that you are being just a little over dramatic.
