Product Information

Mary Poppins premiered on August 27, 1964, at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. [35] [42] The film's poster was painted by artist Paul Wenzel. [1] [2] Travers was not extended an invitation to the event, but managed to obtain one from a Disney executive. It was at the after-party that Richard Sherman recalled her walking up to Disney and loudly announcing that the animated sequence had to go. Disney responded, "Pamela, the ship has sailed" and walked away. [20] Home media [ edit ] Conradt, Stacy (October 30, 2015). "18 Supercalifragilistic Facts About Mary Poppins". Mental Floss. The Day Out" The idea of going into a chalk picture is so charming and exciting and lovely--and it is so beautifully realized in the film (though I never was a fan of the fox hunt!) I think it was really too bad that this is the one adventure in the book Jane and Michael DON'T get to go on. It was absolutely a "date" between Mary Poppins and Bert. But, woe is me, this was the ONLY chapter in the book to feature Bert. And, gosh, I had a HUGE crush on Bert in the movie when I was little--he was SO nice and funny and creative and nice to the kids. The Bert in the novel sells matches and doesn't dance around on chimneys or play a one-man-band. And he's only in that one chapter. Sad!!! (Though perhaps a TAD more realistic as I don't think nannies had more than half an afternoon a week "off" and it really was quite a coincidence that Bert got to go along with them so often in the film.)

The Bird Woman"--I must say this is one part of the film that always bummed me out as a kid. The bird woman, no matter how happy she seemed feeding the birds, was so dirty and ragged looking, it just made me sad that all she did all day was sit and feed birds. And the song is sooo melancholy, IMO, even if it's lovely and a lullaby. So, I rather prefered the chapter in the book. Mary Poppins is a series of eight children's books written by P. L. Travers and published over the period 1934 to 1988.

If you grew up watching the Disney classic by the same name, like myself you might have expectations for this book. Ditch them all and treat yourself to what is a GREAT READ . I cannot stress enough that this is NOTHING like the Disney movie of the same name, but it is a great read - especially if you leave your mind open. As it describes the adventures Jane, Michael & the twins go on with Mary, a VERY vain and rather crude woman, it does allude to certain possibilities and worlds that most of us either think impossible -or think of not at all. Their new nanny, Mary Poppins, is quite unlike anything they've ever seen. She slides up banisters, uses a compass to travel the world, talks to dogs and buys them gingerbread from stores that aren't even there. In short, she's perfect. “Mary Poppins,” he cried, “you’ll never leave us, will you?”Reading about Mary Poppins - nanny extraordinaire - lead to quite the revelation. I feel like everything I have ever known has shifted. The Starling stared at her. "Ha!" he said suddenly, and turned and looked inquiringly at Mary Poppins. Her quiet glance met his in a long look.
