Hopefully it didn't teach you much, since that movie was basically a Disnified movie about he Disnification process and, well, not particularly accurate.
Yes, they even if they lied and said the author liked the movie at the end, when in reality she hated it. But anyway, I was happy Disney placed Walt as a "villain" sort of speak as an apology... And now they spit a bit more on the source material...
@@MrPOKER725 She actually did come to like the film, but not immediately. She stated in 1977, "I've seen it once or twice, and I've learned to live with it. It's glamorous and it's a good film on its own level, but I don't think it is very like my books."
She is the reason why Mary Poppins is magical in live action. There's a certain beauty, grace and charisma about Julie Andrews in whatever role she plays.
They are quite a lot like Nanny McPhee, yes. I loved both the Mary Poppins books as a child, and the original book that Nanny McPhee was based on (Nurse Matilda).
I'm reading the Mary Poppins books for the first time ever right now, and what you mention about how they are just small vignettes has been the biggest surprise. As somebody who grew up watching the movie a lot, it feels like I'm reading a "greatest hits" list without any connective tissue. I'm sure at the time they were beloved because of the way magic is woven throughout, but as an adult reader I just want a narrative to sink my teeth into. So, for once, I think I prefer the film version because of that small change.
@@biteme9486 Yes, children's books will often have the same problem. I guess I just prefer stuff like Wizard of Oz or Alice in Wonderland where there is still a story happening. And I disagree about The Hobbit. The Hobbit also has a story and is not just a bunch of individual stories that have no connective tissue.
same with me I regret not reading them as a child seems they have been re relaesed thanks to the movie "saving mr banks" same with narnia and oz books and even harry potter it takes a movie for a book to be known internationally
Actually Yondu has a lot in common with Mary Poppins. They both baby sat a kid for a father who wasn't there, went on adventures together and gave them tough love before leaving their lives forever...
You guys are the amazing!!!!!!!!!! Keep the amazing work up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please some do some top ten videos for: 1) Cameos 2) Comic Relief Characters 3) Fourth Wall Breaks 4) Franchises 5) Musicals
Yes, Mary Poppins is a witch. Established in the 60s. Instead of suing each other the teams behind the different supernatural characters of the time got together with the idea that common threads provided continuity. Is Harry Potter in the same universe as Mary Poppins, Samantha, Hagatha, Enchantra, Jeannie, and Phoebe Figalilly? Probably.
I spent 8 years in the navy before ships were co-ed. To say there was a fair amount of machismo amongst the crew would be an understatement. We used to play movies on the mess decks after the evening meals for the recreation of the crew; you must remember this was before _Blockbuster_ and other video rental stores had hit their height~ People were not used to having movies at their fingertips. So playing a film, projected up onto a screen was still kind of a big deal. We had several projectors on board, and it was common that someone would borrow a projector and a film that wasn't being shown on the mess decks, and run the movie privately in a work space or an office that had a large enough flat place on the wall to project upon. We had a _Family Day_ where all the ship's crew were allowed to invite kids, mom's, dad's, wives, etc to the ship for an extra special meal and a movie. We showed _Mary Poppins_ for the kids. It was the only time _Mary Poppins_ got shown in the general mess, but my pal who ran the film library for the ship told me they had had the film aboard for just over a month. There was a waiting list for the film and a projector. Everyone wanted to watch the movie, but nobody wanted to be _seen_ watching the movie... LMAO!
@WesleyB1994 Well she and the rest of the Poppins Flying Corps did fight Voldemort and his evil minions during the opening ceremony for the 2012 olympics.
Never stop doing this series, it is genuinely fantastic! Y'all have such a fantastic chemistry and the scripts are wonderful not to mention the editing! I could go on, but my point is this series is a ray of creative joy in the youtube landscape. Never stop doing what you do best because you're fantastic at it. I swear your mothers didn't pay me to write this.
I'd add that the wind that blows Mary Poppins in in the book to the Banks' house seemed beyond her control. In the movie she seems to want to show up, to want to help, but in the book it reads more like a mission given to her and one she maybe doesn't even want. And she isn't waiting for the wind to change as a metaphor, but because she literally can't leave until it does. And the second it does, she's outta there! And Mrs. Corrie is way past "centuries" old. She's downright ancient. Easily thousands of years, tens of thousands maybe. Also, she literally breaks off her fingers and hands them out as candy and each tastes different and even she isn't sure what each flavor will be. It's way weirder than anything in the movie.
Please put these in the third most iconic lines video. Because I feel that you missed a lot of really iconic lines. Some of these are my own very personal choices and you don't need to feel inclined to choose them all. Just throwing out examples is all I'm doing. DON'T STOP BEING AMAZING!!!! 1) "I feel like I'm talking cray pills!!! 2) "YOU. ARE. A. TOOOOOYYYY!!!!!!" 3) "You wanna know how I got these scars?" 4) "Let it go"-Frozen 5) "This is Berk." 6) "Do you want to build a snowman?" 7) "It's not easy being green." 8) "The cold never bothered me anyway!" 9) "This is my house and I have to defend it!" 10) "Hakuna matata." 11) "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!" 12) "Use the force Luke." 13) "It's 106 miles to Chicago we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it`s dark...and we`re wearing sunglasses. Let's go!" 14) "NNAAAZZZIIVVAAANYYYAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" (The Lion King) 15) "Come with me if you want to live!" 16) "Bippity boppity boo." 17) "One ring to rule them all." 18) "Let my people go!!!" 19) "Don't cross the steams!" 20) "Live long and prosper." 21) "Shoot her!!!" 22) "Chewy, we're home." 23) "WWIILLLSSSOOOOONNNNNN!!!!" 24) "Bueller...Bueller...Bueller." 25) "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!" 26) "I'm gonna steal the Declaration of Independence." 27) "WHERE IS MY SUPER SUIT?!?!?!"
Now the i know the difference between the books and the movie, makes me love and adore more the orignal version, the new one is good but it lacks more passion.
I never thought Mrs. Banks was ditzy! I've always seen her as the smarter of the two Banks parents who indulges her narrow minded husband by letting him THINK he's in charge and smarter than her because his narrow little mind would explode if he even tried to contemplate the truth: Women are just as capable as men. Which bring us to Mrs. B's song, "Sister Suffragette," a song that never fails to get me choked up.
Very nice. I've got one for reccomendation. What's the Difference? - City of Ember. The movie wasn't great and I still need to read the books, but it seems like an interesting one.
Thanks, enjoyable as always :-) If love the tripple-features, how about a "What's the difference?" for "The Pledge (Author Dürrematt)", "It Happened in Broad Daylight (1958)", "The Pledge (2001)",
So this may seem a little obscure to do an episode on, but an episode covering the differences between the movie/show Shooter vs Point of Impact (the source material) would be really cool, maybe?
Please, do comparisons of "The Giver" (Lois Lowry), "Jack Reacher" (One Shot), "Jack Reacher: Never Go Back" - both by Lee Child, "The Fifth Wave" (Rick Yancey), "Intensity", "The Watchers" (Dean Koontz), "Intensity" (also Dean Koontz), "Village of the Damned" (John Wyndham's "The Midwich Cuckoos"), "A Monster Calling"), "The Thief Lord" (Cornelia Funke).
honestly the part in the books where the toddlers grow and are no longer connected to the world in the same way is one of my favorite parts. it's reminiscent of peter pan and, when i read it at the age of 10ish i felt a certain melancholy that would become a staple in what i search for in books in the future
Pretty much all of Disney's adaptations, different as they are from the books, are unique and good enough to stand on their own apart from their sources - in a couple of cases, like Pinocchio, I'd even argue the movie is superior to the book. In fact, the only Disney movie where I'll say the book was better is The Black Cauldron. That's one case where the book is DEFINITELY better than the Disney version.
Are you going to compare Mary Poppins Returns to the book? Because I doubt there are any real similarities, but I want a big RU-vidr going over all the cool scenarios they COULD’VE used instead of just retracing old steps.
Um... I'm almost certain the star girl was one of the Pleiades (aka the Seven Sisters) not part of Taurus. When I was a little kid, my mother pointed out how verbally abusive Mrs. Corey was to her daughters, contantly calling them "Great, gallumphing giraffes" and so on.
can you guys do the difference between THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST and the novel of the same name. maybe even a three way between the book movie and gospel would be crazy
EbberDeeMills I was amazed to find how horrible PL Travers really was. When she died, her family said: she died not loving anyone and nobody loving her.
Just because I finished reading (re-reading? Maybe, just so long ago I don't remember) The Princess of Mars, I would love to see you "difference" on John Carter. Now, I know, above and beyond and all that to sit through the movie again, but still...
