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

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.

"The secret to keeping moving is Keeping Moving" ~Dick Van Dyke

Talk about a Living Legend...93 and tap dancing on a table😱👏

His secret is no secret. But insanely difficult to do. He loves his life, and loves what he does. Nothing more and nothing less.

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!

Only this man could make most of us forgive his horrendous attempt at a cockney accent. His performance was so charming that barely anyone gave a damn. A great man indeed.

I want to know Mr Van Dyke's secret. I wanna be that healthy when I'm 93.

When I saw him in the movie (didn't know he will make an appearance), I just opened my mouth and later couldn't stop smiling! Singing and still DANCING!!! WOW!!! It made me love the movie 10 times more! What a young spirit! You can't but love and admire the man!

He’s a legendary actor and dancer and singer. Seeing him still performing at his age I get emotional too.

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.

He’s just so SUPERCALIFRAGLISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS. Full of love and life, and so inspirational. Glad that he is a part of our lives

Wished Julie Andrews came back too :(

I took my daughter and my 2 granddaughters to see this movie and I have to tell u when he dances towards the end of the movie, I was actually crying... I loved this movie so much as well as my daughter and grand daughters!! I hope it wins some Oscars!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

This guy could have got married at 70 and decided to start a family, his children would now be close to their 30’s and he’d still be running round as fit as ever.

0:22 seeing the old bert I interact with the new bert filled my heart with joy!

People like him will never know how much they changed our childhood

Literally SOBBED in the theater when his scene came up. He makes me so happy that I cry uncontrollably xD

I just can't believe that he can still dance like that at 93 years of age. It's incredible.

This scene was awesome!! And then a little “feed the birds” piano instrumental comes after. The nostalgia!!!

Saw tbe film yesterday....a nostalgic feast for young and old baby boomers like me...there was an audible gasp in the cinema when he started his little song and dance...this may be a childrens film but I have a feeling I am squarly in the target audience...as for a few tears : bulls eye !

I think, in addition to his obvious talents, he puts so much physical energy into everything he does. I hope he continues performing for years to come.

I just cried! What a privilege to be alive to see him back!

Even at 93 when this movie was released , he still looks great and moves like he is in his 30s

DVD never disappoints! Blessed with health and old age, he is one of a kind. Simply amazing!

I can’t explain why but when I saw this scene I felt like I wanna cry in a theater... He is a legend. from Japan!

I LOVE THIS MAN!!! He is my idol....my inspiration....my Angel

When he pop out the door, I had a smile when he started to dance I was in tears. He still got it

I'm so glad my parents introduce me to Marry Poppins when I was a little, I was so glad and happy to know that. And to experience the returns of Marry Poppins, I'm truly grateful.

Whatsoever it is, the new movie will never replace the classic Mary Poppins '64.

Movies back in the old days were just so much better.

Emily Blunt - Marry Poppins. Great story, terrible spelling

Wow he still got it!

What a great man! I hope I'm that awesome when I'm in my nineties

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.

would have been nice... to see a LOT MORE OF MR. VAN DYKE in this clip.

In an interview, Emily Blunt said that they were positioned on either side of him to help / catch him. He just shook off their "assist" and went on to do the dance by himself. She said how blown away they were.

I've seen it twice already. Cried both times he danced

Wow....I got teary eyed when he walked into the room during his scene

Still a bit sad that Julie Andrews is not in the movie

My favorite actor ever, and one of my favorite people ever.

I never ever expected to cry...it was just so magical and an amazing way to start off the Christmas holidays! 🎄

"man with a wooden leg named Smith" "What was the name of his other leg?"

When I saw him onscreen i cried so hard like gosh

For a generation of us, he was everyone's Uncle -- or we wished he was our Uncle. I STILL like going back and watching all the old stuff - and it's because of HIM - strictly because of him.

Just rediscovered him doing an interview at 98. What an inspiring, remarkable man!

This man is an amazing human…he must be protected at all costs. 💜💜💜

The fact that he is that spry at his age is just inspirational

That's is the true meaning of Disney seeing something rare that you would never believe. Especially if you know people who are younger who can't do it

No words!!!! Best Comedian ever!!!

Totally worth sitting through the whole movie, just to see his few minutes. DVD is doing life right.

Yup, cried throughout the film. Felt like a little girl, again.

I watched the movie last night - two thumbs up! I was careful to not watch anything or read anything about the movie before I saw it. When Mr. Van Dyke made his appearance in the movie - I literally had tears of joy - I'm at a loss to understand my reaction but, it was my reaction. Without saying who they are, there were several people in the movie that evoked an emotional reaction from me just because they were in the movie. I'm going to watch the original movie again and then see this one again! It was wonderful!

My favorite - what a high compliment to the director - wouldn't that have been amazing to be there on that day of filming - such a rare talent!

One of my favourite actors of all time.

The only reason I went to see this...great respect to Mr Van Dyke. The best part of this movie.

Just seeing him appear in the movie was the highlight of the movie for me.

I grew up watching the original Mary poppins so to see DVD in this cameo was just overwhelming

He's now old enough to play the same guy he played over 40 years ago.. for real! Haha such a legend!

I still can’t believe he is over 90. He is the one and only.

I didn't know he was in it. Until this video showed up in my feed.

Mary Poppins has one "R" not two.

He is an American Treasure.

How in the hell did IGN, at :05 into the teaser, manage to spell "Mary" wrong? (Marry)

A great actor of many talents .

A legend. Simply a legend!

Growing older is not an option. Growing old is. Choose to age like this great man!

The Man the myth the legend

what a fantastic man!I hope he lives another 93 years!

He is a Gem! Magical, tender, so funny! A true legend in Hollywood! 🙏🤗❤️🇨🇦

Director: "I've got an idea! Let's kill a 91 year old living legend by having him dance on top of a table."

I wish his scene had been a little longer.

Ah yes thanks for posting this just so amazing to see DVD my sentiments too. His comedy of a higher magnitude.

Would be cool to see Julie Andrews in there somewhere...

I used to watch his show on nick at nite when I was a younging

THE LIVING LEGEND !!!!

He's a legend in my eyes

Impressive how fit He still is at that age.

What an awesome human being.

I find it fascinating that he was an early fan/proponent/hobbyist of CGI and 3D computer modeling, even doing the occasional effect for “Diagnosis Murder.” He’s even appeared and spoken at SIGGRAPH.

I teared up too. Guess I miss that childhood magic.

“Everything is possible” if that worked the way I wanted it to

One of my biggest heroes. This man is amazing 😉

hes such a legend

Mary Poppins Returns is an example of a sequel done right

"And you'll achieve that sense of conquest As your affluence expands"

DvD is all class. I like to think I'm pretty cool, but he is one of the few folks I'd go full fangirl if I met him.

He's a class act.

That's wonderful, thanks for not showing us any actual clips from the movie, great job.

What a legend... a brilliant entertainer💖

Nit- picker moment... " Marry at intro. " Mr.Van Dyke is a true survivor in show biz. From TV in the fifties to stage and screen, he has weathered many storms, personal and professional.

I loved this remake , l have viewed it twice in the theatre already . Emily Blunt deserves the Oscar for her performance , as well as the sound track . Easily my favourite movie of all time . Replacing Willy Wonka as the best movie in years .

He is truly a legend

We are like wine the older the better wiser beautiful sweetie

When he started with the wooden leg named smith Gag and then pivoted to his monologue the theatre applauded.

One of the greatest family films of all time and it has one of the worst "Cockney" accents I've ever heard! But it just adds to the charm of it all though.

A new movie about a witch had the same spirit in it as the first movie. Very interesting.

Such a wonderful man

90 years old and tap dancing on desk legend

My only question is why he hasn't been in more movies all these years?

I just got off of the floor to write this comment because I just fell on my a**. This man is a true wonder. Amazing.
