Oh, boy. I just have to tell you how Julie Andrews got the role. So, when Disney first got the idea to do this film and started casting, she was on Broadway doing My Fair Lady and Camelot. He came backstage to talk to her, and asked if she'd be interested in flying out to Hollywood to give the movie a look, see if she was interested. Her response? "Mr. Disney, I'm so sorry to tell you this, but I'm pregnant." His response? "That's okay. We'll wait."
My understanding was that she was passed over for the film version of My Fair Lady because she was not thought to be “cinematic” enough, or some such nonsense (the role went to Audrey Hepburn). I was seriously irked with the powers-that-be in Hollywood for _years_ because of this, but finally made my peace with it when I learned that if Julie had been in the other movie (which filmed the same year), then the world would never have had Mary Poppins.
@@StoryMing she also won the Oscar for Mary Poppins OVER Audrey Hepburn that year. She ended her speech with, "And I'd like to thank the man who made all his possible - Jack Warner."
@@videohistory722 I love that moment (in the DVD extras)! Although I hear this has led to speculation whether Julie won that award as sort of compensation for not getting the part in My Fair Lady. I’d say she earned it squarely on the merits of her performance, myself. I’d still love to have seen her as Eliza in the film; but Mary Poppins is one of my very favorites ever, so if it HAD to be one or the other...
@@StoryMing but to clear up the initial confusion: I think we're both right. I believe My Fair Lady was a Broadway production first before the film adaptation.
@@StoryMing She did not get a role because she wasn't well known. She hadn't made a movie before and most movie goers did not hear of her (unless they were Broadway fans). That is why she did not get cast in the movie, they wanted someone famous that would bring in viewers and money.
I am so sorry that people are being mean to him. He is not hurting anyone and I really appreciate how he is always his authentic, positive self. Please don't let these haters get you down Nick!!
I feel so bad for you Nick that people actually give you such a hard time for what you know and don’t know. Most of us love too see what you do and don’t know and love your reactions!
Ugh! Some people are too miserable to leave people like Nick in peace. Hehe, the less he knows, the better for us. It would just make the reactions even more fun. Who's bothering you now? 💣🔪
I've noticed now that Nick calls himself stupid throughout his reaction and he didn't really do that a lot before. The angry few are really getting to him and I feel so bad. We love your reactions Nick. Try to focus on the 99% that love your channel and your authentic self. I am sorry.
If I knew him in person, I'd make sure to tell him he isn't stupid. I always tell my friends they're not stupid when they say it. I used to say that about myself all the time because I had a mean father who told me I was stupid, and I believed it. But later in life, I realized it was a lie, I'm actually smart! And Nick is too.
Yes, inded. I was trying to watch his reaction to another movie the other day and my twofaced mom said he has a fake laugh. Like wtf. She is a twofaced fake @$$ herself and called someone she doesn't know fake.
@@gionnijohnson69 Well that wasn't a best picture award, that was honorary award for a significant screen innovation, infact Walt felt kinda bummed that Snow White didn't win anything.
Please don't apologise for not knowing things! Thats the charm of watching your channel I can relive that "first-time" experience with you. Don't listen to any haters. Not everyone had the chance to watch every film in pop culture. Keep being you, we love you!
This is still one of the most hauntingly beautiful films ever created, and is so much deeper in its themes and characters than it is typically given credit for! The "Feed the Birds" song, and the long sequence of Mr. Banks slowly walking through the dark streets of London knowing that he's about to lose his job, ugh, my eyes sting every single time. I gasped so hard when I saw this in my subs! You are going to adore it!
Ask a guy what his favorite sniffle moment from Disney is, and it won’t be Bambi or Old Yeller, but it’ll always be the music swelling for Mr. Banks’ walk of shame. 🥲 (Just ahead of the Seven Dwarves thinking Snow White’s “dead”, and Mr. Smee comically sobbing over Wendy’s mother song in “Peter Pan”..)
Total gem, this movie. It's sad that Julie Andrews can't sing anymore due to an operation. Dick Van Dyke is still alive and kicking. What that guy is still capable of at his age is incredible.
Aww. I didn't know Julie couldn't sing anymore. that's a shame, as she had a beautiful voice. Is that why she couldn't make a cameo appearance in the sequel the way Van Dyke did? Huh. I thought it was because she was doing Aquaman at the time. Oh well. Glad she's still acting in general. And, hey, they still got her Nazi fighting counterpart to appear at the end!
Yup! It’s made especially clear in “Saving Mr Banks”. Which is also why the original Mary Poppins is so much better than the newer one. There was no “antagonist” in the original. There was conflict in the end at the bank, but there wasn’t a singular person throughout the entire movie. The original movie is about learning a moral lesson, not a generic “good vs evil” story
Your reactions never disappoint, Nick! It's true it's a rare thing that someone hasn't seen movies like these, but it's a blessing to us because when we see someone like you experiencing the wonder of it for the first time, it's kinda like giving us a chance to re-live it for the first time, too. It really is a treasure to be able to watch someone watching these movies for the first time - never change! :)
Great reaction! Fun fact: Julie Andrews was filming The Sound of Music when Mary Poppins was about to be released in theaters. Andrews entertained the actors/actresses that played the Von Trapp children by singing supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and successfully saying the phrase backwards.
Julie's husband, Tony Walton, who did much of the set design and some of the costumes, came up with the backwards bit. Thing is, it's not exactly backwards. Much of the word is split into sections, rearranged in reverse order, but said forwards as usual (the last bit, "docious", is the first bit said "backwards", but Julie says it the same way, "docious" instead of "suoicod"). The only part truly said backwards was "super", which came out "rupus".
Saving Mr banks is about how Walt Disney spend over 10 years to make Mary Poppins because of the author refuses to make it. Worth the watch EDIT: Just wanted to say love your movie reactions. Never apologize for you learning and appreciate films that you never seen. First time reactions are special and shouldn't feel ashamed
I loved this movie as a child. You don’t have to apologize for not seeing certain movies. People seem to be ignorant to the fact that not everyone has seen the same movies as them due to age, circumstances, or sheer having no interest. There are a lot of popular movies I haven’t seen simply due to no interest and I’m way older than you. People are shocked and some get angry, which is the stupidest thing ever 🤣, as it doesn’t affect them personally at ALL. Just have fun exploring films on your own terms and time.
IKR? I really don't understand the anger response. There are tons of movies I haven't seen (due to choice) and for someone to get angry over the fact that I chose NOT to see a certain movie is baffling.
I completely agree. There's absolutely NO excuse to get that mad over NOTHING, and the fact that he felt so guilty when he did nothing wrong just makes it even worse. It's not the end of the fucking world because ONE person either didn't watch a movie, or is just now checking it out.
I'm always surprised to hear when someone has never seen a movie I assume everyone has seen at some point (e.g. _Toy Story_ ), but I never get pissy at them for it, because I've probably never seen *a lot* of movies that were practically their childhood.
Of all the stupid reasons to unsubscribe, that is the stupidest and the most petty. You're better off without them, sweetie. I hope you know how loved and appreciated you are
And even delayed the project until after she'd given birth, as she originally turned him down due to her pregnancy and he basically responded, "Don't worry. I'll wait."
@@MsPandacakes yeahh from what we seen of her in Saving Mr. Banks she was someone hard to impress but giving her backstory can't say I blame her given how this story was so important to her
Fun Fact: Feed the Birds was Walt Disney's personal favorite song, and every Friday he would ask the song writers to come his office and play it for him.
Another fun fact: Dick Van Dyke was not a professional dancer, though he really seems like it. Also, I'd love to see you react to Oliver if you haven't seen it before. It's right up there with Wizard of Oz and Sound of Music as one of the biggest musicals of all time.
There are several great stories about the making of this masterpiece, but I think my favorite will always be about Dick Van Dyke as the eldest Mr. Dawes. He apparently stayed in character the whole time, to the point that the two child actors had no idea it was him until the end credits on Premiere Night. 😆 Jane's actress Karen Dotrice later said they were just watching this poor old man cough and stagger around and were saying to each other “Wow, we’d better get this take right fast. This guy’s about to croak!” 🤣 Another is that after shooting the rainstorm scene, Karen got sick and ended up in the hospital for a time. And during this, Walt Disney came to visit her and brought her one of those giant life-sized teddy bears. 💖
I was waiting for Nick to realize that Mr. Dawes was actually Dick Van Dyke, but it's understandable the first go-round. I remember scratching my head thinking, "That guy looks vaguely familiar!" Very clever positioning on the part of Disney.
@@ez8546 It was Dick's idea. He asked Walt if he could do it. Walt made him screen test in make up, and donate some of his earnings to Cal Arts. But Dick got the role and was so convincing that he fooled everyone not in on the joke (like the children).
My favourite story, iis how Dick dressed up as Mr. Dawes in public, and pretended he had a difficult time walking, when trying to get to a bus... and then took off in a sprint after the bus as it took off.
The reason why ur channel is one of my favorites is because ur reactions are real and genuine. We all know u aren’t faking them for more views. You’re doing great❤️And I’m so excited to watch ur reaction to this. Mary Poppins is one the best Disney movies ever😍
Nick, it's unlikely you'll see this but here goes. Have you ever had such a wonderful experience, which filled you with wonder? You grow a little older and you think "man if only I could go back and experience that all over again!" The next best thing is watching someone experience that same enchantment. That's why most of us watch channels with people watching things for the first time. You aren't stupid. You're watching things you haven't before. Even I haven't seen everything, especially prior to my year of birth. Malicious ignorance is the only thing I can't stand, which is much more like disrespect. But not knowing something instantly? That's human.
Another one of my favorites. The scene of Mr. Banks walking to his own job termination with Feed the Birds in the background STILL gives me chills. (Incidentally, "Feed the Birds" was reportedly Walt's favorite song, and would frequently ask the Sherman Bros to play it whenever he visited them.) When I was little, my grandmother made me a Mary Poppins doll. She was a very accomplished seamstress and she watched the Jolly Holiday sequence on VHS over and over to get all the details just right. She even had a parasol and button up boots. I still have her. What a treasure.
You don’t need to apologize for anything Nick! You never do anything wrong and you never have ill intent so if anyone is angry with you well that’s a personal problem of theirs, and if they go out of their way to tell you that just to make you feel bad well that’s just a reflection of their poor character. Keep being yourself and you should never apologize for being genuine 💖
Another great Disney Musical from this era to watch is Bedknobs and Broomsticks with Angela Lansbury and David Tomlinson (the father) from this film. Many facts for this film: 1. P.L. Travers who was the original author of the Mary Poppins books had refused Walt Disney’s offers to make it into a film for over 20 years and so in the late 50’s he actually went to meet her in her London home hoping to use his personal charm on her and so soon after she finally gave him the rights to make the film, but during the early stages Robert Sherman who was one of the songwriters along with his brother said “She was a witch” and absolutely hated everything everyone was wanting to do, but she was basically only a consultant, after the release of the film she wanted nothing to do with it and in the early 90’s she allowed the studio to only do two things in regards to the property.If they so choose to a sequel film could be done. A broadway show, but no one involved with the original film could be part of that project, 2. When Glynis Johns received the call from Walt to be in the film she though she was going to play Mary Poppins, but Walt wanted her as the mother and so she said as a little incentive if she could haver her own song for the film and so the Sherman Brothers rewrote a previous unused song called “Practically Perfect” into “Sister Suffragette”, 3. Many songs and sequences for the film were thought up including where the children would spin a compass and it would take them to different areas and a different song for each area where one was called North Pole Polka, another Tea in Timbuktu, while the other two unused songs found their way in other Disney films later on with The Land of Sand being reworked to become Trust in Me in The Jungle Book from 1967, and The Beautiful Briny Sea would end up in Bedknobs and Broomsticks, 4. Several of the women who wait outside to apply for the nanny position are actually men because they couldn’t find enough ugly women. 5. In the animation sequence people like the songwriters, Julie Andrews and multiple others do voices and David Tomlinson voiced Mary Poppins Parrot umbrella at the end. 6. The choreographers Marx Beraux and Dee Dee Wood would go on to do the choreography for many other classic musicals including: The Sound of Music, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and The Slipper and the Rose which is why the Step in Time dance sequence seemed familiar to you to Chitty Chitty and Dick Van Dyke had no previous dance training, 7. Several of the chimney sweep dancers were the old men on the bench in Enchanted during the song “That’s How you Know” 8. The woman who played the Bird Woman is legendary Actress Jane Darwell who starred in over 100 films and at the time she had been retired, but Walt Disney convinced her to be in the film and personally sent a car to pick her up everyday and treated her like Royalty. 9. Besides being Bert in the film Dick Van Dyke as Mr Dawes Sr when he would be dressed up in all that makeup he would troll the backlot tours by making them think it was an old man and cross in front of them as slowly as possible then right as they were about to pull away he would sprint off as quickly as possible and that credit was at the end of the end credits as Navckid Keyd and then the letters unscramble themselves to spell Dick Van Dyke plus there is a chorus reprise of Let’s Go Fly a Kite: th-cam.com/video/Kt4IoCOztMU/w-d-xo.html 10. Julie Andrews was hoping to be in the film version of My Fair Lady which she started on broadway, but Warner Brothers wanted someone who was actually a star as Julie had not been in a film yet so they went with Audrey Hepburn. However the story doesn’t end there as Julie Andrews was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy opposite Audrey Hepburn for My Fair Lady and she won and in her acceptance speech she ended it with “Finally my thanks to a man who made a wonderful movie and made this all possible in the first place Mr Jack Warner.” and everyone lost it including Mr Warner with him laughing, Then at the Academy Awards this film was nominated for 13 Oscars and won for: Best Actress, Best Song for Chim Chim Cheree, Best Original Score, Best Visual Effects, and Best Film Editing. It was nominated additionally for Best Picture, Director, Art Direction, Costume Design, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Scoring Treatment, and Sound unfortunately losing many of those to My Fair Lady. 11. Know before Walt had chose Julie to play Mary Poppins several people that were thought of as possibilities included: Bette Davis and Angela Lansbury then one sunday night the Sherman Brothers saw on the Ed Sullivan Show an excerpt performance of a broadway show called Camelot where Julie Andrews was the lead actress and they knew immediately she was the one so the next day they marched into Don Dagradi’s (another writer on the film) office and he said to them did you see the Ed Sullivan Show last night so all three of them went to Walt’s office and so then Walt went to see a performance of Camelot in New York and met with her after the show and was able to convince her to be in the film and Walt was willingly to wait as she was pregnant at the time and Julie’s husband then also ended up part of the film as he designed all of the costumes, 12. Dick Van Dyke ended up in the film because of an article Walt read of how he didn’t like that films then were becoming as he described as “dirty pictures” also it helped that basically everyone knew who Dick was as he had a hit tv show with The Dick Van Dyke show and this was only his second film after being in a film version of the broadway show Bye Bye Birdie, 13. Ed Wynn (Uncle Albert) was the Mad Hatter Walt always wanted to have him in something he appeared in several other Disney films including: The Absent Minded Professor, Son of Flubber, and Babes in Toyland. 14. When they were in the early development stages of the film Walt gave his songwriters Richard and Robert Sherman a copy of the book to read of what they thought would be good material for the film and they underlined six chapters in red crayon and when they went in to see Walt they handed him the book and he chuckled because in his copy of the book he had underlined the exact same six chapters in red crayon as well. 15. The inspiration for the song “A Spoonful of Sugar came with Richard Sherman’s son came home from school and he asked what had happened to learn he had been given the polio vaccine to which his dad asked if it hurt and he explained no they put the medicine on a sugar cube on a spoon and we swallowed it. A literal spoonful of sugar helped the medicine go down. 16. The inspiration for the song Let’s Go Fly a Kite was actually from the Sherman Brothers childhood as there dad as they said would make these wonderful kites that would fly all day, 17. The inspiration for the song Step in Time is actually an old english folk song called Knees Up Mother Brown and the Sherman Brothers learned about it as Peter Ellenshaw who did the vidual effects and matte paintings and glass paintings for the film was basically they resident Brit taught the dance to on3 of the writer Bill Walsh and Walt Disney and Richard Sherman saw the three of them with their elbows linked together in the office kicking their knees up, 18. The inspiration for the song Supercalifragilisticexpiladocious was the Sherman Brothers wanted to make it so Mary Poppins gave the children a gift in the form of this ridiculously long word and the medley for it was two British Folk Songs: Boiled Beef and Carrots along with Any Old Iron, 19. When the brothers were playing songs for Walt one day a couple hours they thought would work for the film at the end he asked them to play that bird woman song again to which Walt walked over to the window saying “That’s what it’s all about isn’t it?” Referring to the theme of the film. It was Walt’s favorite song the studio ever made and every Friday Walt would meet with the brother and just talk about things going on at the studio and other projects and at the end of their meeting he would always ask them to play the song by saying “Play it” and when they finished it he would send them off saying “Have a good weekend boys.” 20. Even after Walt’s death Richard Sherman would still go into Walt’s office on a Friday afternoon and play the song and on what would have been Walt’s 100th Birthday he went the celebration when the dedication of the Partners statue was unveiled and played the song saying it was only for Walt at the end of the song he blew a kiss to the statue said Happy Birthday and walked off, but he was told later on that when he was nearing the end of the song out of the clear blue sky a single bird came down near the piano and off back into the sky. 21. All of Mary Poppins was filmed indoors. 22. The old woman that children encountered when they run away from the bank is Actress who voiced Cruella DeVil in “101 Dalmatians”. 23. When on the carousel the horses match their personalities, 24. The two children in the film Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber appeared in a total of three films for Disney together this was their second the previous is The Three Lives of Thomasina and the latter was The Gnome Mobile unfortunately Matthew would die of Food poisoning in the 70’s, 25. The reason there is Penguins is instead of waiters is that Walt Disney saw Storyboards where they were men and he said “Waiters always reminded me of penguins”. he one issue you brought up about the bank is it is supposed to be awkward as that is to counter-balance to all of Mary Poppins Magic and be something more grounded and boring which is what excites George Banks.
@@morganyakkofan9052 There was never a question these facts were in doubt to begin with. I took a majority of this information from the over forty minute behind the scenes making of that on the home media release of Mary Poppins. Also for Saving Mr. Banks they change a few things around. For example the song that won over Travers was Feed the Birds not Let’s Go Fly a Kite and they already had the rights signed over to make the film before she went over to supervise the production.
Dude. Anyone can see the joy in your eyes as you watch these movies. You can’t make that up. That level of wonder is hard to hold on to as an adult. You’ve managed to do it. The people who left are feeling a bit jealous that they lost that wonder. ❤️ BTW, did the gentleman in the laughing scene sound familiar? That’s Ed Wynn. He voiced the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland.
Here's how the Spoonful of Sugar song came to be: The songwriters daughter had to get the polio vaccine, and he asked how they did it. She told them they soaked it in a sugar cube, and they ate it. Voila. Spoonful of sugar.
hah my mom used to bribe me with a teaspoon of sugar after taking cough syrup or other bad tasting medicine and she'd sing the song to me. she has incredible bedside manners
To be honest, I don't care whether it's your first time watching it, or you're tenth time. Its my first time watching it with you and that's all that matters to me.
You shouldn't have to apologize because people are trolls. There are many movies I've never heard of or watched myself. So I understand where you're coming from. I love your reactions, and this is one of my favorite Disney movies.
Nick don’t ever feel the need to apologize for not having seen certain movies, we’ve all either not seen some iconic movies or watched them later in life. I only just watched Raiders of the Lost Ark and I’ve only seen the first Star Wars! There’s a lot of people who really appreciate your first-time reactions to movies they grew up watching, for me your reactions to movies I watched as a kid bring up some great childhood memories. Just remember that part of your audience and don’t focus too much on a few cynical naysayers.
They're almost all music so I'm always hesitant to suggest it, but I've noticed you do a good job at keeping as much in as possible, and you're doing so much of a deep dive for the classics already, it'd be a shame not to include them. I'll keep an eye out and my fingers crossed! =)
Just a thought as well - Maybe you'll know better than me - some of the music is old enough that it might be under different copyright terms... maybe w some creativity you can get away with more than expected? Worth looking into...
@@steffurness The film is still under copyright, though, along with the soundtrack, though it's true that some of the underlying works (like the first number, Bach's *Toccata and Fugue in D Minor)* are in public domain.
The film came out in 1964, not 1962. Anyway, this is by far the best live action film Disney has ever produced! Great story, memorable characters, wonderful music, without a doubt the Sherman Brothers’ definitive work, tons of fun and introspective moments, and of course Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke giving it their all with their fantastic performances! Truly a magical movie that everyone should experience!
Other than the animated Disney classics---Mary Poppins, Wizard of Oz, and Sound of Music were far and away my favorite live-action films growing up. And now you've gone and done all three!! What a treat 🥰 I just want you to know that even when you have to cut things down due to copyright, I cannot express how much I appreciate that you still commit to as full a reaction as possible. I am much more happy watching a whole hour w/ the occasional blur, muted songs, watermark, etc. instead of the more condensed 10-15 mins that others might do. You really spoil us with the work you put in for this kind of reaction, so thank you so so very much!! Okay, now just in time for lunch, time to settle in. 😇I can't wait to re-watch that Chimney Sweep dance scene. That whole bit was pure magic for me as a kid; something about that music and energy and dance brought me a lot of joy.
@@nickflix8657 + Dick Van Dyke played two roles in this movie. He played Bert, & the very "old" guy at the bank with the cane, who stole Micheal's Tuppence...
Fun Fact: Feed the Birds was Walt Disney favorite song. He would often invite the writer of the song up to his office just so he could play it for him.
I haven't read the negative comments you've been getting but please don't make them think you're stupid because you're not! I've watched a ton of movies throughout the years and I love watching them again for the "first time" through your eyes because you often remind me how wonderful they are.
You are a true original, Nick. Never speak the words, "I'm so stupid" on here again. You had a couple of keen insights I hadn't considered, and I've watched Mary Poppins for more years than you've been alive! The people who like your delight and wonder will flock to you once you realize that your innocence is rare. Sell it unapologetically.
Honestly, Mary Poppins is one of my most cherished movies as a child. It was the first live action movie I ever watched, and I remember how it made me believe in magic. You just gotta love the magic that movies bring into this world.
In hindsight, Mr. Banks dodged a bullet by not keeping his job at the bank. The movie is set in 1910 according to the opening song, meaning, history is in line for the Titanic 1912 (which hurt many bank stocks), and WWI 1914, which bankrupted the entire banking industry.
Nick, one of the reasons why I watch your reactions is BECAUSE you show emotion. You never fail to be your true self and I love that 💖 please never change!
This was my Patreon pick for being high tier. He did do Earnest scared stupid on Patreon by my request but he hated it 😂 and that’s ok, but if you want to see it join his Patreon.
@@nickflix8657 1) Do you think it might help the bank scenes a little if you watch them again, now knowing the really old owner of the bank is played by Dick Van Dyke in old age make-up? 2) I had a copy of the CD Saving Mr Banks but never got to watch it because a tree fell on my house i was renting while i was in the hospital, and rain got in and messed everything up. But now my first time watching it can be here with you on youtube, and i appreciate that very much. 3). i’m so sorry people were mean after Wizard of Oz. You getting to watch it brought me and so many others so much joy. Thank you.
Your reactions are so joyful, and I love how in awe you are at this. I'd love to see you watch more musicals. Perhaps "Singin' in the Rain", or "Meet Me in St. Louis"?
it's really weird that people think another person couldn't possibly have gone their whole life without seeing the wizard of oz or mary poppins. shockingly, we don't all have the same childhood
Feed the Birds, Walt’s favorite song. He would simply say now and then “Play it.” And Richard Sherman would play it on the piano as Walt looked out the window. 🥲 my dad and I can’t listen to it without getting emotional
The thing is Mary takes care of the children but she teaches the parents they have to pay more attention to their children. I think Bert also teaches them all about family.
Bert I feel is underrated in Mary Poppins. At least I felt that watching this reaction. I even didn't realize (maybe kind of) how important he was in connecting Mr. Banks to his children and vice versa. Mary Poppins probably could have only done so much without Bert in this movie since he understood Mary Poppins and her role and also how the world was/is since he lives in it and sees things every day. He knew when his role was important at the end since he knew just what to say when it was called for. He had such wisdom and willing helped Mary Poppins complete her mission. And I would like to think Mary Poppins knew Bert so well that she deliberately sought him out to help her on her mission because she knew the impact he can make on the people around him. Makes me want to know how else Bert has helped people on his own without Mary Poppins involved. I'm sure his character has because he's such a kind caring person. Maybe Mary Poppins brought that gift out of him or befriended him because of that gift.
I agree in a way he gets to the father on an emotional level . Mary could deal with Mr. Banks on his level but opened their world up and let them see they what was possible. Bert told Mr. Banks what they were missing about the other.and couldn’t see. Mary and Bert worked almost as a tag team. Bert understood people and knew how to help them and in a humble but perceptive way. I think he probably helped many people.
@@kellie8468 they definitely did their own "magic" and saved Mr. Banks and his relationship with his children. Everything they do is done flawlessly and nothing feels forced. That's one of the reasons this movie is so good. They really are the perfect team for the job and that's why I think Mary Poppins sought Bert out. Thanks for reminding me how amazing Bert is and being able to comment on him because of the reminder. Mary Poppins and Bert both get the credit for the happy ending of this movie.
It’s a treasured classic for a reason. Mary Poppins along with The Sound Of Music are not only two of the greatest, most beloved musicals of all time, they are my two favorite. And both star the legendary, magnificently gifted Julie Andrews. No matter how old they are, or how old the viewer, their magic endures. Wonderful to watch someone see one of them for the very first time.
On the note about Saving Mr Banks, I love that fact how they reveal that the reason Mary Poppins comes is literally to save the father, not the children. So the whole scene with Bert in the ally(and Bert with Mr. Banks in the living room), is showing how bringing joy and laughter back in the home saves Banks from the long droning life he has been leading for years. George Banks thinks his career has made his life great at beginning of the film, but doesn't realize the how little of work he has put into his family. Mary's whole purpose is to plant real fun and love within the home and remind him of what's really important. The moment you realize that in Saving Mr. Banks movie, it brings a whole new way of viewing the original film.💙
If you recall the "How Does She Know" scene from Enchanted, the elderly gentlemen who dance and give flowers to the elderly ladies on the opposite bench, were all Step In Time chimney sweeps! They'd gotten them for the movie, and they still had their dance moves so many years later!
Nick, never change. Your excitement is both contagious and genuine, and I wouldn’t want to see you change a single part of you. If people leave, it’s not your problem, it’s theirs. Don’t let their negativity and rudeness cause you to stoop to their level. They aren’t worth it. And as usual, thank you for bringing a bit of joy and happiness to my day with your resounding exuberance.
You have nothing to apologize for, Nick. We come to watch you watch these movies *because* you've never seen them before. That's the point. People just like to stir the pot. But you've shown over time that you are a very genuine person. All of us who have stuck around really enjoy your content. Keep it up.
Yay, my favorite Disney movie!! This one has so many great one liners, and such a perfect climax. Turning it around so that suddenly the dad is the protagonist was such a great idea. A detail that I love with David Tomlinson is that through the movie is sings more and more. At the start, he does the old speak-singing style, emphasizing how no-nonsense he is. By the end, he's singing every note of Let's Go Fly a Kite.
Don't let those people get you down Nick, if they chose to unsubscribe that's their mistake. Always remember that there are many many other people that like this channel just the way it is, because that you are kind, pure and true. If the haters are goanna hate, then I'm going to say that I have never seen The Wizard of OZ (this bit is true). Remember, you have the power to delete the rude comments, that power is yours only. Most of all, I thank you for re-introducing me too so many wonderful movies to me, and thank you for allowing us to see this channel.
Others and myself said it before and we'll sa it again. No need to apologize for your reactions. When people talked about Disney Magic, this movie is one of the reasons. While Disney in general still makes entertaining movies, the pure fun of some had has gone away. The sad thing is she left at the perfect time. They'll remember her and her lessons, but if she stayed longer, she would overshadow their parents and the family that just got togehter again could fracture. So, her job was done and she had to leave. Though I'd like to give a perspective, that rarely comes up. Because she loves the children so much she knew she had to go. That it hurt her is, from her point of view, a small price to pay to stop the possible long-term pain her presence might bring. Aside from that, there are other families that need her help. Some people have been able to look at the technical aspects of the movie and discovered a technical miracle. We have to remember, that there was no CGI back then and some other technologies weren't available or not very advanced. When you look at some scenes (managing to ignore the movie) you'll find details that make you wonder how they did it. If I remember right, the rooftop scene was done with 7 layers of film. It was a combination of matte paintings and and filmed parts to make the background come alive that was impossible to do any other way. But to think, 7 layers had to be planned out so they would mesh. And that is without mentioning the coreography or the 'special effects' of jumping into and out of the chimmneys. And to top it off, 59 years later the movie still draws people into it with few being able to resist it. Just the cut reaction gets me. So again, no need to apologize for your reactions.
The fact that Mr Banks says "Edward's on the throne" suggests that the film takes place early in 1910, as Edward The 7th died that year, and was succeeded by George The Fifth. And this was also Ed Wynn's (Uncle Albert) final movie before his death.
What a lovely, authentic reaction! My mum always sang Feed the Birds to me when putting me to bed so it has a special meaning to me too. I'm so glad you enjoyed and connected with this film :)
Oh, I screamed when I saw this. I hope you'll love it! It's my all time favorite Disney movie and I watch it everytime I am sick or very depressed for comfort. ❤️ I was really in love with Bert as a child haha
I've loved this film since I was a little girl and I'm much older now. I went past St Paul's in London last week and still sang this song to myself. It's a delight to see you enjoy it as much I do.
I don’t understand people who stop subscribing because you haven’t seen things or don’t know plot details. I’m glad you are coming to things with a new perspective. What’s the point in watching reactions if the reactor has already seen the movie or knows too much about it?Your reactions let us experience the movies like we are also seeing them the first time.
This movie was sucks a huge part of my "younger childhood" but it kinda faded to the back a few years ago. I'm ready to see your reaction! I remember always jumping around the livingroom during the song that happens on the rooftop, good times. I've been trying to find a good moment to ask this but I always forget- Is it possible for you to ever watch _Oliver and company_ ? It's not a very popular Disney movie, but I can't say that it's underrated since I don't remember much of it, but it was one of my favourite ones when I was a smaller kid. :D
The thing I like about you is that you are genuine. I can tell your reactions are genuine. Many reactors have seen the movies and overreact for views, but not you. You light up with joy when you watch these movies and that is something you can't fake. If people can't see that then that's their problem.
I get teary watching you get teary. To Hell with anybody who doubted you. The Wizard of Oz is My favourite movie of all time by the way. It brings Me so much joy to see someone seeing and loving these Classics as much as I do. There's nothing like watching someone's world change almost in an instant with the magic that once was and is unfortunately fading from practice. Thank you for being a bastion of hope in believing the younger people will still enjoy what was.
Dick Van Dyke is a national treasure. They always give him grief about his accent which is uncalled for and angers me.. The paintings of the backgrounds would win oscars, they were so well done. It was hard at times to tell they were not real.
This is my comfort movie and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Don't call yourself stupid! I adore watching your childlike wonder to every movie you watch. It makes me so happy to see you so excited and emotional. It prompts me to be more childish, which we all should do more.
Chimney sweeps shaking your hand being good luck is extremely dark. The idea is that since they all died very young, the luck they wouldn’t live to have was supposed to rub off on you.
I used to watch this with my great-grandmother when she would babysit me. I always think of her when I see it now. 'Step in Time' was my favorite song. I would dance all around the living room like them. Great reaction!
Seriously, the whole reason to watch these reaction videos is to get a reaction. The less the person knows, the better the reaction. So if someone doesn't know the material that's good, not bad. It helps the reaction be more authentic.
I don’t think you understand how much your reactions to these films have an impact on people. To see these films for the first time are totally magical. But once you’ve done that it’s not so good. However, your reaction is just BEAUTIFUL and AWESOME, and watching this film for the first time through your eyes is just beautiful and I got taken back in tine. Thank you Sir. Long may you continue. Love the channel and much respect.
Fun fact: the kids didn't know the old man was Dick Van Dyke during filming, he stayed in character when they weren't shooting. They found out at the premiere of the movie. The girl who played Jane said in an interview that she was scared the old man was going to die during the filming.
people need to let it go, when they don't believe you've seen certain movies. I have friends who haven't seen the classics and know nothing about them... and I'm sure there are classics I haven't seen and know nothing about... So you're not alone :) I enjoyed your wizard of oz reaction :)
You never realize how firmly embedded a particular movie is in your mind until you come across someone who hasn’t seen it, and you try to think of how you would try to explain it to them! 😅
Nick, you're awesome. Your enthusiasm, surprise, and wonder during your reactions has never felt less than 100% genuine, and anyone who thinks otherwise is projecting. You keep doing you, man. There are a lot more of us who appreciate you than there are haters.
When you talked about the Wizard of Oz in the beginning, I was like "Wait, IS it a musical??" because I didn't know that (I haven't seen the movie). And I usually think I'm well versed in movies... Really, ignore the haters, I love your reactions.
Fun fact: Julie Andrews did the bird’s part in Spoonful of Sugar because, on top of being an amazing singer, she was an amazing whistler. Originally, the director hired a professional bird whistler to do the part but after having Julie attempt it, he decided her version was better and kept it in the movie.
@@kellie8468 I think the TV movie done by Disney in 1999 was better. The 1982 version left out NYC and shortened Easy Street while adding other songs that weren't as good, and I liked it better when it was the Depression-suffering winter of 1933, not summer. Also, I just prefered Alicia Morton to Aileen Quinn. She seemed like the better Annie to me.
You reflected the magic exactly. If you ever have the chance to see it on the big screen, it’s breathtaking - it comes around every so often, very worth it.
Please ignore the haters Nick. I'm a 50 year old woman who has seen this movie dozens of times. This morning I'm watching it with the same wide eyed wonder that you are. Newer generations have access to so many more movies now. We were limited for a long time by only what was on tv. Thank you for reacting to this ❤
Ok, so I don't usually comment on these things, but I tend to obsessively watch reactions to specific shows or films, which means that in some cases I end up seeing pretty much all the reactions to them available on YT. There are maybe three or four reactors whose uploads I actually anticipate, and you are among them. Your emotions and reactions resonate a lot with how engaged I get when watching films alone. Not getting everything immediately and mixing stuff up is a part of losing yourself completely in something. Honestly, that's the strength of your videos so please look at negative comments with a critical eye. Not everyone needs to like your content and there is plenty different style reactions where they can find what they are looking for. Don't regret or neutralise your strengths to match someone's preference. Especially if that someone is being rude towards you.
After the film's release one critic was so charmed by the rooftop sequence that they described it as " the reason that movies were invented ". And if you like the score I can recommend the 2 cd special edition soundtrack. It is really beautiful.
1:01:55 "Go fly a kite...no, I don't mean you PERSONALLY." In British vocabulary, "Go fly a kite" is their way of saying "go f yourself." So Mary Poppins has a joke about The F word in it! :)
Nick, my man. Don't let the people who pick on you get you down. You're a real sweet guy and one of the first movie reactors I genuinely enjoyed watching and I always appreciate seeing the happiness that you express. It's therapeutic for many of us. To me it's also like seeing these movies for the first time again. You're actually doing a great service here in helping us recollect our childhood memories. Thank you man. Keep on doing your thing.
Im sorry about how people have been negative! If you loved this, you'll love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang if you watch it again! Bedknobs and broomsticks is a classic, too! You are doing a great job and as always, lots of love and support from Hawaii! 🌺
I love watching your reactions to these movies, and anyone who thinks they aren't genuine can't read people. I actually didn't like Mary Poppins when I was a kid, but as an adult I absolutely love it. Enjoyed the reaction so much!
This is probably my all time favorite Disney. I used to watch this movie back to back as a vhs tape. When it would be finished, we’d hand rewind it and then watch it over again. The songs are all so timeless and so drive the story forward. I can’t think of another movie that’s done that.🥰🥰🥰🥰🙄
Watching Nick's videos is like watching a movie with a close friend, and it sucks that people are being rude to him, common guys give the man some slack and let him live his life
Oh, boy. I just have to tell you how Julie Andrews got the role.
So, when Disney first got the idea to do this film and started casting, she was on Broadway doing My Fair Lady and Camelot.
He came backstage to talk to her, and asked if she'd be interested in flying out to Hollywood to give the movie a look, see if she was interested.
Her response? "Mr. Disney, I'm so sorry to tell you this, but I'm pregnant."
His response? "That's okay. We'll wait."
My understanding was that she was passed over for the film version of My Fair Lady because she was not thought to be “cinematic” enough, or some such nonsense (the role went to Audrey Hepburn). I was seriously irked with the powers-that-be in Hollywood for _years_ because of this, but finally made my peace with it when I learned that if Julie had been in the other movie (which filmed the same year), then the world would never have had Mary Poppins.
@@StoryMing she also won the Oscar for Mary Poppins OVER Audrey Hepburn that year.
She ended her speech with, "And I'd like to thank the man who made all his possible - Jack Warner."
@@videohistory722
I love that moment (in the DVD extras)!
Although I hear this has led to speculation whether Julie won that award as sort of compensation for not getting the part in My Fair Lady. I’d say she earned it squarely on the merits of her performance, myself.
I’d still love to have seen her as Eliza in the film; but Mary Poppins is one of my very favorites ever, so if it HAD to be one or the other...
@@StoryMing but to clear up the initial confusion: I think we're both right. I believe My Fair Lady was a Broadway production first before the film adaptation.
@@StoryMing She did not get a role because she wasn't well known. She hadn't made a movie before and most movie goers did not hear of her (unless they were Broadway fans). That is why she did not get cast in the movie, they wanted someone famous that would bring in viewers and money.
I am so sorry that people are being mean to him. He is not hurting anyone and I really appreciate how he is always his authentic, positive self. Please don't let these haters get you down Nick!!
Me too.
Agreed!
Nick,stay above it🌟💖
100% anyone hating on someone for being a positive person is just sad.
@@the_last_centurion
Apparently they are being cynical. They think it has to be an act.
I feel so bad for you Nick that people actually give you such a hard time for what you know and don’t know. Most of us love too see what you do and don’t know and love your reactions!
I agree! One of the most genuinely kind reactors! I love his innocence and joy for watching movies 😊💖
It's pretty cute actually. He's a little kid in a grown mans body.
Ugh! Some people are too miserable to leave people like Nick in peace. Hehe, the less he knows, the better for us. It would just make the reactions even more fun. Who's bothering you now? 💣🔪
FR like bruh enjoy his it's that what you came for
Me too. And, I will not tolerate haters.
I've noticed now that Nick calls himself stupid throughout his reaction and he didn't really do that a lot before. The angry few are really getting to him and I feel so bad. We love your reactions Nick. Try to focus on the 99% that love your channel and your authentic self. I am sorry.
If I knew him in person, I'd make sure to tell him he isn't stupid. I always tell my friends they're not stupid when they say it. I used to say that about myself all the time because I had a mean father who told me I was stupid, and I believed it. But later in life, I realized it was a lie, I'm actually smart! And Nick is too.
i dont get it, whats there to be angry about? he's just giving his opinion on movies.
@@shariwelch8760 I have a friend who always puts herself down, saying she's stupid, and I keep telling her she's not.
Yes, inded. I was trying to watch his reaction to another movie the other day and my twofaced mom said he has a fake laugh. Like wtf. She is a twofaced fake @$$ herself and called someone she doesn't know fake.
You're a good person. I stayed for the whole react. Loved it
Fun Fact: This was the only film of Walt Disney's to get nominated for best picture at the oscars.
Then after his death Beauty and the Beast, Up, and Toy Story 3 all got BP nominations as well. :)
@@zacharysiple629 And UP
Oh really then how come I saw the actual footage from 1937 of Walt Disney getting
an Emmy Award Winner for Snow White?
@@gionnijohnson69 Well that wasn't a best picture award, that was honorary award for a significant screen innovation, infact Walt felt kinda bummed that Snow White didn't win anything.
@@Thomas_H._Smith But he also got
got mini Emmy Globes too!
Please don't apologise for not knowing things! Thats the charm of watching your channel I can relive that "first-time" experience with you. Don't listen to any haters. Not everyone had the chance to watch every film in pop culture. Keep being you, we love you!
This is still one of the most hauntingly beautiful films ever created, and is so much deeper in its themes and characters than it is typically given credit for! The "Feed the Birds" song, and the long sequence of Mr. Banks slowly walking through the dark streets of London knowing that he's about to lose his job, ugh, my eyes sting every single time. I gasped so hard when I saw this in my subs! You are going to adore it!
Ask a guy what his favorite sniffle moment from Disney is, and it won’t be Bambi or Old Yeller, but it’ll always be the music swelling for Mr. Banks’ walk of shame. 🥲
(Just ahead of the Seven Dwarves thinking Snow White’s “dead”, and Mr. Smee comically sobbing over Wendy’s mother song in “Peter Pan”..)
The scene deepens so much after watching Saving Mr. Banks.
I agree with you. It's one of my favour and emocional film. 💙
The most brutal part is the bird lady not being there implying she died.
@@PikminandOatchi I never saw the things this way
Total gem, this movie. It's sad that Julie Andrews can't sing anymore due to an operation. Dick Van Dyke is still alive and kicking. What that guy is still capable of at his age is incredible.
If I have 1% of the energy that man has when I'm that old I'll be happy. I have never see anyone more full of life. Maybe Betty White.
The mom of Michael and Jane is almost 100 years old as well! The boy died a while ago.
As my librarian once said about Dick Van Dyke right before a showing of this film, "He will bury us all."
Shame he didnt recognize Dick Van Dyke in Night at the Museum :P
Edit: nvm I wrote that before he mentioned this exact thing 😂
Aww. I didn't know Julie couldn't sing anymore. that's a shame, as she had a beautiful voice. Is that why she couldn't make a cameo appearance in the sequel the way Van Dyke did? Huh. I thought it was because she was doing Aquaman at the time. Oh well. Glad she's still acting in general. And, hey, they still got her Nazi fighting counterpart to appear at the end!
Marry Poppins didn't appear to help the children, she appeared to help the Father. That's the real moral of this magical tale.
Yup! It’s made especially clear in “Saving Mr Banks”. Which is also why the original Mary Poppins is so much better than the newer one. There was no “antagonist” in the original. There was conflict in the end at the bank, but there wasn’t a singular person throughout the entire movie. The original movie is about learning a moral lesson, not a generic “good vs evil” story
Your reactions never disappoint, Nick! It's true it's a rare thing that someone hasn't seen movies like these, but it's a blessing to us because when we see someone like you experiencing the wonder of it for the first time, it's kinda like giving us a chance to re-live it for the first time, too. It really is a treasure to be able to watch someone watching these movies for the first time - never change! :)
💯💯💯💯
Great reaction! Fun fact: Julie Andrews was filming The Sound of Music when Mary Poppins was about to be released in theaters. Andrews entertained the actors/actresses that played the Von Trapp children by singing supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and successfully saying the phrase backwards.
Julie's husband, Tony Walton, who did much of the set design and some of the costumes, came up with the backwards bit.
Thing is, it's not exactly backwards. Much of the word is split into sections, rearranged in reverse order, but said forwards as usual (the last bit, "docious", is the first bit said "backwards", but Julie says it the same way, "docious" instead of "suoicod"). The only part truly said backwards was "super", which came out "rupus".
Saving Mr banks is about how Walt Disney spend over 10 years to make Mary Poppins because of the author refuses to make it. Worth the watch
EDIT: Just wanted to say love your movie reactions. Never apologize for you learning and appreciate films that you never seen. First time reactions are special and shouldn't feel ashamed
Theres some liberties taken but it is a great film.
I hope Nick reacts to this 🤞
Yes it would be great if he could react to saving mr banks 😃
I loved this movie as a child. You don’t have to apologize for not seeing certain movies. People seem to be ignorant to the fact that not everyone has seen the same movies as them due to age, circumstances, or sheer having no interest.
There are a lot of popular movies I haven’t seen simply due to no interest and I’m way older than you. People are shocked and some get angry, which is the stupidest thing ever 🤣, as it doesn’t affect them personally at ALL.
Just have fun exploring films on your own terms and time.
IKR? I really don't understand the anger response. There are tons of movies I haven't seen (due to choice) and for someone to get angry over the fact that I chose NOT to see a certain movie is baffling.
Me, I knew Julie Andrews thanks to " Princess Diaries "
I completely agree. There's absolutely NO excuse to get that mad over NOTHING, and the fact that he felt so guilty when he did nothing wrong just makes it even worse. It's not the end of the fucking world because ONE person either didn't watch a movie, or is just now checking it out.
I'm just shocked he's missed out on SO many films. I know it's nothing to get upset about, but he's just missed out on so many!!
I'm always surprised to hear when someone has never seen a movie I assume everyone has seen at some point (e.g. _Toy Story_ ), but I never get pissy at them for it, because I've probably never seen *a lot* of movies that were practically their childhood.
Of all the stupid reasons to unsubscribe, that is the stupidest and the most petty.
You're better off without them, sweetie. I hope you know how loved and appreciated you are
Fun fact: Walt Disney chose Julie Andrews himself.
And even delayed the project until after she'd given birth, as she originally turned him down due to her pregnancy and he basically responded, "Don't worry. I'll wait."
@@ashleypenn7845 Damn, he REALLY had faith in her
Even though PL Traverse did not like the casting or movie at all haha
@@MsPandacakes yeahh from what we seen of her in Saving Mr. Banks she was someone hard to impress but giving her backstory can't say I blame her given how this story was so important to her
Fun Fact: Feed the Birds was Walt Disney's personal favorite song, and every Friday he would ask the song writers to come his office and play it for him.
They played it at his funeral too if I'm not mistaken
Oh wow, that's wonderful! 😍🐦🐤
He cried every time he heard it….. I do too!
I love the fact that Mary Poppins is actually there to save the father and not the children.
I also love that Mr Dawes Sr. is played by Dick Van Dyke.
I haven’t even seen the reaction yet, but I’m sorry people called you a liar. Keep being you. You’re amazing just as you are.
Another fun fact: Dick Van Dyke was not a professional dancer, though he really seems like it. Also, I'd love to see you react to Oliver if you haven't seen it before. It's right up there with Wizard of Oz and Sound of Music as one of the biggest musicals of all time.
Oooh, that would be a good one for Nick!
The mid-show giant number is my favorite in Oliver! “Who will buy my sweet red roses?”
i love thé wizard of oz
There are several great stories about the making of this masterpiece, but I think my favorite will always be about Dick Van Dyke as the eldest Mr. Dawes. He apparently stayed in character the whole time, to the point that the two child actors had no idea it was him until the end credits on Premiere Night. 😆 Jane's actress Karen Dotrice later said they were just watching this poor old man cough and stagger around and were saying to each other “Wow, we’d better get this take right fast. This guy’s about to croak!” 🤣
Another is that after shooting the rainstorm scene, Karen got sick and ended up in the hospital for a time. And during this, Walt Disney came to visit her and brought her one of those giant life-sized teddy bears. 💖
I was waiting for Nick to realize that Mr. Dawes was actually Dick Van Dyke, but it's understandable the first go-round. I remember scratching my head thinking, "That guy looks vaguely familiar!" Very clever positioning on the part of Disney.
@@ez8546 It was Dick's idea. He asked Walt if he could do it. Walt made him screen test in make up, and donate some of his earnings to Cal Arts. But Dick got the role and was so convincing that he fooled everyone not in on the joke (like the children).
@@ez8546 I've been watching this movie for over 30 years and I NEVER figured it out, wow!
@@Zodia195 You see it in the credits when the name comes up onscreen as Navckid Keyd and then the letters rearrange to spell Dick van Dyke!
My favourite story, iis how Dick dressed up as Mr. Dawes in public, and pretended he had a difficult time walking, when trying to get to a bus... and then took off in a sprint after the bus as it took off.
The reason why ur channel is one of my favorites is because ur reactions are real and genuine. We all know u aren’t faking them for more views. You’re doing great❤️And I’m so excited to watch ur reaction to this. Mary Poppins is one the best Disney movies ever😍
Nick, it's unlikely you'll see this but here goes. Have you ever had such a wonderful experience, which filled you with wonder? You grow a little older and you think "man if only I could go back and experience that all over again!" The next best thing is watching someone experience that same enchantment.
That's why most of us watch channels with people watching things for the first time.
You aren't stupid. You're watching things you haven't before. Even I haven't seen everything, especially prior to my year of birth. Malicious ignorance is the only thing I can't stand, which is much more like disrespect. But not knowing something instantly? That's human.
This is one of the best comments I've ever read. 👏👏👏
Yes! Exactly how I felt!
Such a wonderful movie. Julie Andrews is always a gem!
I watched the movie myself on VHS on September 28 this year!
Another one of my favorites. The scene of Mr. Banks walking to his own job termination with Feed the Birds in the background STILL gives me chills.
(Incidentally, "Feed the Birds" was reportedly Walt's favorite song, and would frequently ask the Sherman Bros to play it whenever he visited them.)
When I was little, my grandmother made me a Mary Poppins doll. She was a very accomplished seamstress and she watched the Jolly Holiday sequence on VHS over and over to get all the details just right. She even had a parasol and button up boots. I still have her. What a treasure.
Aww, now I want a Mary Poppins doll...!
I wish you could post photos in TH-cam comments! I’d love to see her
You don’t need to apologize for anything Nick! You never do anything wrong and you never have ill intent so if anyone is angry with you well that’s a personal problem of theirs, and if they go out of their way to tell you that just to make you feel bad well that’s just a reflection of their poor character. Keep being yourself and you should never apologize for being genuine 💖
Another great Disney Musical from this era to watch is Bedknobs and Broomsticks with Angela Lansbury and David Tomlinson (the father) from this film.
Many facts for this film:
1. P.L. Travers who was the original author of the Mary Poppins books had refused Walt Disney’s offers to make it into a film for over 20 years and so in the late 50’s he actually went to meet her in her London home hoping to use his personal charm on her and so soon after she finally gave him the rights to make the film, but during the early stages Robert Sherman who was one of the songwriters along with his brother said “She was a witch” and absolutely hated everything everyone was wanting to do, but she was basically only a consultant, after the release of the film she wanted nothing to do with it and in the early 90’s she allowed the studio to only do two things in regards to the property.If they so choose to a sequel film could be done. A broadway show, but no one involved with the original film could be part of that project,
2. When Glynis Johns received the call from Walt to be in the film she though she was going to play Mary Poppins, but Walt wanted her as the mother and so she said as a little incentive if she could haver her own song for the film and so the Sherman Brothers rewrote a previous unused song called “Practically Perfect” into “Sister Suffragette”,
3. Many songs and sequences for the film were thought up including where the children would spin a compass and it would take them to different areas and a different song for each area where one was called North Pole Polka, another Tea in Timbuktu, while the other two unused songs found their way in other Disney films later on with The Land of Sand being reworked to become Trust in Me in The Jungle Book from 1967, and The Beautiful Briny Sea would end up in Bedknobs and Broomsticks,
4. Several of the women who wait outside to apply for the nanny position are actually men because they couldn’t find enough ugly women.
5. In the animation sequence people like the songwriters, Julie Andrews and multiple others do voices and David Tomlinson voiced Mary Poppins Parrot umbrella at the end.
6. The choreographers Marx Beraux and Dee Dee Wood would go on to do the choreography for many other classic musicals including: The Sound of Music, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and The Slipper and the Rose which is why the Step in Time dance sequence seemed familiar to you to Chitty Chitty and Dick Van Dyke had no previous dance training,
7. Several of the chimney sweep dancers were the old men on the bench in Enchanted during the song “That’s How you Know”
8. The woman who played the Bird Woman is legendary Actress Jane Darwell who starred in over 100 films and at the time she had been retired, but Walt Disney convinced her to be in the film and personally sent a car to pick her up everyday and treated her like Royalty.
9. Besides being Bert in the film Dick Van Dyke as Mr Dawes Sr when he would be dressed up in all that makeup he would troll the backlot tours by making them think it was an old man and cross in front of them as slowly as possible then right as they were about to pull away he would sprint off as quickly as possible and that credit was at the end of the end credits as Navckid Keyd and then the letters unscramble themselves to spell Dick Van Dyke plus there is a chorus reprise of Let’s Go Fly a Kite: th-cam.com/video/Kt4IoCOztMU/w-d-xo.html
10. Julie Andrews was hoping to be in the film version of My Fair Lady which she started on broadway, but Warner Brothers wanted someone who was actually a star as Julie had not been in a film yet so they went with Audrey Hepburn. However the story doesn’t end there as Julie Andrews was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy opposite Audrey Hepburn for My Fair Lady and she won and in her acceptance speech she ended it with “Finally my thanks to a man who made a wonderful movie and made this all possible in the first place Mr Jack Warner.” and everyone lost it including Mr Warner with him laughing, Then at the Academy Awards this film was nominated for 13 Oscars and won for:
Best Actress,
Best Song for Chim Chim Cheree,
Best Original Score,
Best Visual Effects,
and Best Film Editing.
It was nominated additionally for Best Picture, Director, Art Direction, Costume Design, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Scoring Treatment, and Sound unfortunately losing many of those to My Fair Lady.
11. Know before Walt had chose Julie to play Mary Poppins several people that were thought of as possibilities included: Bette Davis and Angela Lansbury then one sunday night the Sherman Brothers saw on the Ed Sullivan Show an excerpt performance of a broadway show called Camelot where Julie Andrews was the lead actress and they knew immediately she was the one so the next day they marched into Don Dagradi’s (another writer on the film) office and he said to them did you see the Ed Sullivan Show last night so all three of them went to Walt’s office and so then Walt went to see a performance of Camelot in New York and met with her after the show and was able to convince her to be in the film and Walt was willingly to wait as she was pregnant at the time and Julie’s husband then also ended up part of the film as he designed all of the costumes,
12. Dick Van Dyke ended up in the film because of an article Walt read of how he didn’t like that films then were becoming as he described as “dirty pictures” also it helped that basically everyone knew who Dick was as he had a hit tv show with The Dick Van Dyke show and this was only his second film after being in a film version of the broadway show Bye Bye Birdie,
13. Ed Wynn (Uncle Albert) was the Mad Hatter Walt always wanted to have him in something he appeared in several other Disney films including: The Absent Minded Professor, Son of Flubber, and Babes in Toyland.
14. When they were in the early development stages of the film Walt gave his songwriters Richard and Robert Sherman a copy of the book to read of what they thought would be good material for the film and they underlined six chapters in red crayon and when they went in to see Walt they handed him the book and he chuckled because in his copy of the book he had underlined the exact same six chapters in red crayon as well.
15. The inspiration for the song “A Spoonful of Sugar came with Richard Sherman’s son came home from school and he asked what had happened to learn he had been given the polio vaccine to which his dad asked if it hurt and he explained no they put the medicine on a sugar cube on a spoon and we swallowed it. A literal spoonful of sugar helped the medicine go down.
16. The inspiration for the song Let’s Go Fly a Kite was actually from the Sherman Brothers childhood as there dad as they said would make these wonderful kites that would fly all day,
17. The inspiration for the song Step in Time is actually an old english folk song called Knees Up Mother Brown and the Sherman Brothers learned about it as Peter Ellenshaw who did the vidual effects and matte paintings and glass paintings for the film was basically they resident Brit taught the dance to on3 of the writer Bill Walsh and Walt Disney and Richard Sherman saw the three of them with their elbows linked together in the office kicking their knees up,
18. The inspiration for the song Supercalifragilisticexpiladocious was the Sherman Brothers wanted to make it so Mary Poppins gave the children a gift in the form of this ridiculously long word and the medley for it was two British Folk Songs: Boiled Beef and Carrots along with Any Old Iron,
19. When the brothers were playing songs for Walt one day a couple hours they thought would work for the film at the end he asked them to play that bird woman song again to which Walt walked over to the window saying “That’s what it’s all about isn’t it?” Referring to the theme of the film. It was Walt’s favorite song the studio ever made and every Friday Walt would meet with the brother and just talk about things going on at the studio and other projects and at the end of their meeting he would always ask them to play the song by saying “Play it” and when they finished it he would send them off saying “Have a good weekend boys.”
20. Even after Walt’s death Richard Sherman would still go into Walt’s office on a Friday afternoon and play the song and on what would have been Walt’s 100th Birthday he went the celebration when the dedication of the Partners statue was unveiled and played the song saying it was only for Walt at the end of the song he blew a kiss to the statue said Happy Birthday and walked off, but he was told later on that when he was nearing the end of the song out of the clear blue sky a single bird came down near the piano and off back into the sky.
21. All of Mary Poppins was filmed indoors.
22. The old woman that children encountered when they run away from the bank is Actress who voiced Cruella DeVil in “101 Dalmatians”.
23. When on the carousel the horses match their personalities,
24. The two children in the film Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber appeared in a total of three films for Disney together this was their second the previous is The Three Lives of Thomasina and the latter was The Gnome Mobile unfortunately Matthew would die of Food poisoning in the 70’s,
25. The reason there is Penguins is instead of waiters is that Walt Disney saw Storyboards where they were men and he said “Waiters always reminded me of penguins”.
he one issue you brought up about the bank is it is supposed to be awkward as that is to counter-balance to all of Mary Poppins Magic and be something more grounded and boring which is what excites George Banks.
A lot of those facts were proven in the movie “Saving Mr.Banks”, where Tom Hanks had the honor of playing Walt Disney himself.
@@morganyakkofan9052 There was never a question these facts were in doubt to begin with. I took a majority of this information from the over forty minute behind the scenes making of that on the home media release of Mary Poppins. Also for Saving Mr. Banks they change a few things around.
For example the song that won over Travers was Feed the Birds not Let’s Go Fly a Kite and they already had the rights signed over to make the film before she went over to supervise the production.
Regarding #6: That explains why the 'Step in Time' choreography was shamelessly recycled in "The Slipper and the Rose."
@@dulcimerrafi The dancing in Slipper is not at all like that choreographed for Step in Time
#13 reminds me that if Nick hasn't watched Babes in Toyland, then he needs to do so immediately. I loved that movie as a kid!
Dude. Anyone can see the joy in your eyes as you watch these movies. You can’t make that up. That level of wonder is hard to hold on to as an adult. You’ve managed to do it. The people who left are feeling a bit jealous that they lost that wonder. ❤️
BTW, did the gentleman in the laughing scene sound familiar? That’s Ed Wynn. He voiced the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland.
That's one of the many things I like about him, too!! The way his eyes light up when something exciting happens always makes me happy and smile 🥰😇
The father was also a star in "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" another great classic!
yesss Bedknobs and Broomsticks is so good!!!
I suggested this one, too!!
But, did they poison the dragon, or the liver?
Here's how the Spoonful of Sugar song came to be:
The songwriters daughter had to get the polio vaccine, and he asked how they did it. She told them they soaked it in a sugar cube, and they ate it.
Voila. Spoonful of sugar.
hah my mom used to bribe me with a teaspoon of sugar after taking cough syrup or other bad tasting medicine and she'd sing the song to me. she has incredible bedside manners
My mom used to sing that to me and my siblings a bunch when we were little :)
To be honest, I don't care whether it's your first time watching it, or you're tenth time. Its my first time watching it with you and that's all that matters to me.
Well said
Whenever Disney was feeling sad he’d have them play feed the birds in his office. Still one of my favorite songs of all time.
You shouldn't have to apologize because people are trolls. There are many movies I've never heard of or watched myself. So I understand where you're coming from. I love your reactions, and this is one of my favorite Disney movies.
Nick don’t ever feel the need to apologize for not having seen certain movies, we’ve all either not seen some iconic movies or watched them later in life. I only just watched Raiders of the Lost Ark and I’ve only seen the first Star Wars! There’s a lot of people who really appreciate your first-time reactions to movies they grew up watching, for me your reactions to movies I watched as a kid bring up some great childhood memories. Just remember that part of your audience and don’t focus too much on a few cynical naysayers.
As a painter, who loves working with both oils and pastels, I love that you called the chalk drawing a "painting." That is the accurate term!!
Haven’t seen Fantasia yet!
They're almost all music so I'm always hesitant to suggest it, but I've noticed you do a good job at keeping as much in as possible, and you're doing so much of a deep dive for the classics already, it'd be a shame not to include them. I'll keep an eye out and my fingers crossed! =)
Just a thought as well - Maybe you'll know better than me - some of the music is old enough that it might be under different copyright terms... maybe w some creativity you can get away with more than expected? Worth looking into...
@@steffurness The film is still under copyright, though, along with the soundtrack, though it's true that some of the underlying works (like the first number, Bach's *Toccata and Fugue in D Minor)* are in public domain.
@@nickflix8657 please watch Fantasia, it’s amazing!
The film came out in 1964, not 1962. Anyway, this is by far the best live action film Disney has ever produced! Great story, memorable characters, wonderful music, without a doubt the Sherman Brothers’ definitive work, tons of fun and introspective moments, and of course Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke giving it their all with their fantastic performances! Truly a magical movie that everyone should experience!
Thanks for letting me know, and definitely agree it was such a magical experience haha.
Other than the animated Disney classics---Mary Poppins, Wizard of Oz, and Sound of Music were far and away my favorite live-action films growing up. And now you've gone and done all three!! What a treat 🥰
I just want you to know that even when you have to cut things down due to copyright, I cannot express how much I appreciate that you still commit to as full a reaction as possible. I am much more happy watching a whole hour w/ the occasional blur, muted songs, watermark, etc. instead of the more condensed 10-15 mins that others might do. You really spoil us with the work you put in for this kind of reaction, so thank you so so very much!!
Okay, now just in time for lunch, time to settle in. 😇I can't wait to re-watch that Chimney Sweep dance scene. That whole bit was pure magic for me as a kid; something about that music and energy and dance brought me a lot of joy.
Thanks so much Leslie, really appreciate how you love the longer reactions. Love doing it😊
@@nickflix8657 + Dick Van Dyke played two roles in this movie. He played Bert, & the very "old" guy at the bank with the cane, who stole Micheal's Tuppence...
One thing I think is that Mary Poppins is an angel sent down from heaven to cheer up the kids and save Mr. Banks's soul.
Fun Fact: Feed the Birds was Walt Disney favorite song. He would often invite the writer of the song up to his office just so he could play it for him.
I haven't read the negative comments you've been getting but please don't make them think you're stupid because you're not!
I've watched a ton of movies throughout the years and I love watching them again for the "first time" through your eyes because you often remind me how wonderful they are.
You are a true original, Nick. Never speak the words, "I'm so stupid" on here again. You had a couple of keen insights I hadn't considered, and I've watched Mary Poppins for more years than you've been alive! The people who like your delight and wonder will flock to you once you realize that your innocence is rare. Sell it unapologetically.
Honestly, Mary Poppins is one of my most cherished movies as a child. It was the first live action movie I ever watched, and I remember how it made me believe in magic. You just gotta love the magic that movies bring into this world.
In hindsight, Mr. Banks dodged a bullet by not keeping his job at the bank. The movie is set in 1910 according to the opening song, meaning, history is in line for the Titanic 1912 (which hurt many bank stocks), and WWI 1914, which bankrupted the entire banking industry.
Nick, one of the reasons why I watch your reactions is BECAUSE you show emotion. You never fail to be your true self and I love that 💖 please never change!
This was my Patreon pick for being high tier. He did do Earnest scared stupid on Patreon by my request but he hated it 😂 and that’s ok, but if you want to see it join his Patreon.
Thanks again Jason for picking it, had so much fun with this one🤩🤩
@@nickflix8657 1) Do you think it might help the bank scenes a little if you watch them again, now knowing the really old owner of the bank is played by Dick Van Dyke in old age make-up? 2) I had a copy of the CD Saving Mr Banks but never got to watch it because a tree fell on my house i was renting while i was in the hospital, and rain got in and messed everything up. But now my first time watching it can be here with you on youtube, and i appreciate that very much. 3). i’m so sorry people were mean after Wizard of Oz. You getting to watch it brought me and so many others so much joy. Thank you.
Your reactions are so joyful, and I love how in awe you are at this. I'd love to see you watch more musicals. Perhaps "Singin' in the Rain", or "Meet Me in St. Louis"?
it's really weird that people think another person couldn't possibly have gone their whole life without seeing the wizard of oz or mary poppins. shockingly, we don't all have the same childhood
Feed the Birds, Walt’s favorite song. He would simply say now and then “Play it.” And Richard Sherman would play it on the piano as Walt looked out the window. 🥲 my dad and I can’t listen to it without getting emotional
Nik, I LOVE your reaction vids! You're one of the most wholesome, loveable, kind-hearted TH-camrs I know of.
The thing is Mary takes care of the children but she teaches the parents they have to pay more attention to their children.
I think Bert also teaches them all about family.
Bert I feel is underrated in Mary Poppins. At least I felt that watching this reaction. I even didn't realize (maybe kind of) how important he was in connecting Mr. Banks to his children and vice versa. Mary Poppins probably could have only done so much without Bert in this movie since he understood Mary Poppins and her role and also how the world was/is since he lives in it and sees things every day. He knew when his role was important at the end since he knew just what to say when it was called for. He had such wisdom and willing helped Mary Poppins complete her mission. And I would like to think Mary Poppins knew Bert so well that she deliberately sought him out to help her on her mission because she knew the impact he can make on the people around him. Makes me want to know how else Bert has helped people on his own without Mary Poppins involved. I'm sure his character has because he's such a kind caring person. Maybe Mary Poppins brought that gift out of him or befriended him because of that gift.
I agree in a way he gets to the father on an emotional level . Mary could deal with Mr. Banks on his level but opened their world up and let them see they what was possible. Bert told Mr. Banks what they were missing about the other.and couldn’t see.
Mary and Bert worked almost as a tag team. Bert understood people and knew how to help them and in a humble but perceptive way. I think he probably helped many people.
I meant to say Bert helped the children see things differently too. That there father didn’t have the easiest time.
@@kellie8468 they definitely did their own "magic" and saved Mr. Banks and his relationship with his children. Everything they do is done flawlessly and nothing feels forced. That's one of the reasons this movie is so good. They really are the perfect team for the job and that's why I think Mary Poppins sought Bert out. Thanks for reminding me how amazing Bert is and being able to comment on him because of the reminder. Mary Poppins and Bert both get the credit for the happy ending of this movie.
There is a lot of humanity in Bert. He was definitely a big part in the happy ending.
It’s a treasured classic for a reason. Mary Poppins along with The Sound Of Music are not only two of the greatest, most beloved musicals of all time, they are my two favorite. And both star the legendary, magnificently gifted Julie Andrews. No matter how old they are, or how old the viewer, their magic endures. Wonderful to watch someone see one of them for the very first time.
On the note about Saving Mr Banks, I love that fact how they reveal that the reason Mary Poppins comes is literally to save the father, not the children. So the whole scene with Bert in the ally(and Bert with Mr. Banks in the living room), is showing how bringing joy and laughter back in the home saves Banks from the long droning life he has been leading for years. George Banks thinks his career has made his life great at beginning of the film, but doesn't realize the how little of work he has put into his family. Mary's whole purpose is to plant real fun and love within the home and remind him of what's really important. The moment you realize that in Saving Mr. Banks movie, it brings a whole new way of viewing the original film.💙
I swear this guy is so amazing. He has the most genuine and sweet reactions. Luv ya Nick
If you recall the "How Does She Know" scene from Enchanted, the elderly gentlemen who dance and give flowers to the elderly ladies on the opposite bench, were all Step In Time chimney sweeps! They'd gotten them for the movie, and they still had their dance moves so many years later!
Oh wow thank you for that I had no idea. How cool!
Nick, never change. Your excitement is both contagious and genuine, and I wouldn’t want to see you change a single part of you. If people leave, it’s not your problem, it’s theirs. Don’t let their negativity and rudeness cause you to stoop to their level. They aren’t worth it. And as usual, thank you for bringing a bit of joy and happiness to my day with your resounding exuberance.
You have nothing to apologize for, Nick. We come to watch you watch these movies *because* you've never seen them before. That's the point. People just like to stir the pot. But you've shown over time that you are a very genuine person. All of us who have stuck around really enjoy your content.
Keep it up.
Aww, I *loved* your Wizard of Oz reaction 🥺
So did I.
Yay, my favorite Disney movie!! This one has so many great one liners, and such a perfect climax. Turning it around so that suddenly the dad is the protagonist was such a great idea. A detail that I love with David Tomlinson is that through the movie is sings more and more. At the start, he does the old speak-singing style, emphasizing how no-nonsense he is. By the end, he's singing every note of Let's Go Fly a Kite.
Don't let those people get you down Nick, if they chose to unsubscribe that's their mistake. Always remember that there are many many other people that like this channel just the way it is, because that you are kind, pure and true. If the haters are goanna hate, then I'm going to say that I have never seen The Wizard of OZ (this bit is true). Remember, you have the power to delete the rude comments, that power is yours only.
Most of all, I thank you for re-introducing me too so many wonderful movies to me, and thank you for allowing us to see this channel.
Others and myself said it before and we'll sa it again. No need to apologize for your reactions.
When people talked about Disney Magic, this movie is one of the reasons. While Disney in general still makes entertaining movies, the pure fun of some had has gone away.
The sad thing is she left at the perfect time. They'll remember her and her lessons, but if she stayed longer, she would overshadow their parents and the family that just got togehter again could fracture. So, her job was done and she had to leave. Though I'd like to give a perspective, that rarely comes up. Because she loves the children so much she knew she had to go. That it hurt her is, from her point of view, a small price to pay to stop the possible long-term pain her presence might bring.
Aside from that, there are other families that need her help.
Some people have been able to look at the technical aspects of the movie and discovered a technical miracle. We have to remember, that there was no CGI back then and some other technologies weren't available or not very advanced. When you look at some scenes (managing to ignore the movie) you'll find details that make you wonder how they did it. If I remember right, the rooftop scene was done with 7 layers of film. It was a combination of matte paintings and and filmed parts to make the background come alive that was impossible to do any other way. But to think, 7 layers had to be planned out so they would mesh. And that is without mentioning the coreography or the 'special effects' of jumping into and out of the chimmneys.
And to top it off, 59 years later the movie still draws people into it with few being able to resist it. Just the cut reaction gets me.
So again, no need to apologize for your reactions.
That whole sequence with the chimney sweeps is the most iconic dance routine in cinema don’t change my mind.
The fact that Mr Banks says "Edward's on the throne" suggests that the film takes place early in 1910, as Edward The 7th died that year, and was succeeded by George The Fifth. And this was also Ed Wynn's (Uncle Albert) final movie before his death.
No he also did the Gnome Mobile before his death.
What a lovely, authentic reaction! My mum always sang Feed the Birds to me when putting me to bed so it has a special meaning to me too. I'm so glad you enjoyed and connected with this film :)
Oh, I screamed when I saw this. I hope you'll love it!
It's my all time favorite Disney movie and I watch it everytime I am sick or very depressed for comfort. ❤️
I was really in love with Bert as a child haha
I've loved this film since I was a little girl and I'm much older now. I went past St Paul's in London last week and still sang this song to myself. It's a delight to see you enjoy it as much I do.
I saw this in the theater when I was ten. I went home and snapped my fingers all day but it did not clean up my room.
I don’t understand people who stop subscribing because you haven’t seen things or don’t know plot details. I’m glad you are coming to things with a new perspective. What’s the point in watching reactions if the reactor has already seen the movie or knows too much about it?Your reactions let us experience the movies like we are also seeing them the first time.
This movie was sucks a huge part of my "younger childhood" but it kinda faded to the back a few years ago. I'm ready to see your reaction! I remember always jumping around the livingroom during the song that happens on the rooftop, good times.
I've been trying to find a good moment to ask this but I always forget- Is it possible for you to ever watch _Oliver and company_ ? It's not a very popular Disney movie, but I can't say that it's underrated since I don't remember much of it, but it was one of my favourite ones when I was a smaller kid. :D
I usually would say nothing, but since you asked, that’s the surprise movie coming up next😂
@@nickflix8657 Oh my goodness, thank you! 😂😂
Those songs are THE best🐈
@@ocelot815 ♪And it's always once a upon a time, in New York city~♪
The thing I like about you is that you are genuine. I can tell your reactions are genuine. Many reactors have seen the movies and overreact for views, but not you. You light up with joy when you watch these movies and that is something you can't fake. If people can't see that then that's their problem.
I get teary watching you get teary.
To Hell with anybody who doubted you.
The Wizard of Oz is My favourite movie of all time by the way.
It brings Me so much joy to see someone seeing and loving these Classics as much as I do.
There's nothing like watching someone's world change almost in an instant with the magic that once was and is unfortunately fading from practice.
Thank you for being a bastion of hope in believing the younger people will still enjoy what was.
Dick Van Dyke is a national treasure. They always give him grief about his accent which is uncalled for and angers me..
The paintings of the backgrounds would win oscars, they were so well done. It was hard at times to tell they were not real.
I used to try the finger snapping and picture jumping tricks as a kid. So many times
This is my comfort movie and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Don't call yourself stupid! I adore watching your childlike wonder to every movie you watch. It makes me so happy to see you so excited and emotional. It prompts me to be more childish, which we all should do more.
Chimney sweeps shaking your hand being good luck is extremely dark. The idea is that since they all died very young, the luck they wouldn’t live to have was supposed to rub off on you.
I used to watch this with my great-grandmother when she would babysit me. I always think of her when I see it now. 'Step in Time' was my favorite song. I would dance all around the living room like them.
Great reaction!
Seriously, the whole reason to watch these reaction videos is to get a reaction. The less the person knows, the better the reaction. So if someone doesn't know the material that's good, not bad. It helps the reaction be more authentic.
I don’t think you understand how much your reactions to these films have an impact on people. To see these films for the first time are totally magical. But once you’ve done that it’s not so good. However, your reaction is just BEAUTIFUL and AWESOME, and watching this film for the first time through your eyes is just beautiful and I got taken back in tine. Thank you Sir. Long may you continue. Love the channel and much respect.
My childhood in a nutshell. ❤
Edit: Julie Andrews (AKA: Mary Poppins) is now 86 years old & Dick Van Dyke (AKA Bert) is now 95 years old.
Fun fact: the kids didn't know the old man was Dick Van Dyke during filming, he stayed in character when they weren't shooting. They found out at the premiere of the movie. The girl who played Jane said in an interview that she was scared the old man was going to die during the filming.
people need to let it go, when they don't believe you've seen certain movies.
I have friends who haven't seen the classics and know nothing about them... and I'm sure there are classics I haven't seen and know nothing about...
So you're not alone :) I enjoyed your wizard of oz reaction :)
You're like a kid watching this. I love it.
You never realize how firmly embedded a particular movie is in your mind until you come across someone who hasn’t seen it, and you try to think of how you would try to explain it to them!
😅
Nick, you're awesome. Your enthusiasm, surprise, and wonder during your reactions has never felt less than 100% genuine, and anyone who thinks otherwise is projecting. You keep doing you, man. There are a lot more of us who appreciate you than there are haters.
When you talked about the Wizard of Oz in the beginning, I was like "Wait, IS it a musical??" because I didn't know that (I haven't seen the movie). And I usually think I'm well versed in movies... Really, ignore the haters, I love your reactions.
Fun fact: Julie Andrews did the bird’s part in Spoonful of Sugar because, on top of being an amazing singer, she was an amazing whistler. Originally, the director hired a professional bird whistler to do the part but after having Julie attempt it, he decided her version was better and kept it in the movie.
Oliver is another good musical, its a sad story tho.
Yes! It’s one of my favourites, along with Annie!
Annie ( 1982) would be another good one to watch.
annie 2014 is good
chitty chitty bang bang is good too
@@kellie8468 I think the TV movie done by Disney in 1999 was better. The 1982 version left out NYC and shortened Easy Street while adding other songs that weren't as good, and I liked it better when it was the Depression-suffering winter of 1933, not summer. Also, I just prefered Alicia Morton to Aileen Quinn. She seemed like the better Annie to me.
You reflected the magic exactly. If you ever have the chance to see it on the big screen, it’s breathtaking - it comes around every so often, very worth it.
I am going to say this: fuck the haters. Your positive, outgoing personality is always so genuine and I love experiencing it.
Please ignore the haters Nick. I'm a 50 year old woman who has seen this movie dozens of times. This morning I'm watching it with the same wide eyed wonder that you are. Newer generations have access to so many more movies now. We were limited for a long time by only what was on tv. Thank you for reacting to this ❤
Ok, so I don't usually comment on these things, but I tend to obsessively watch reactions to specific shows or films, which means that in some cases I end up seeing pretty much all the reactions to them available on YT. There are maybe three or four reactors whose uploads I actually anticipate, and you are among them. Your emotions and reactions resonate a lot with how engaged I get when watching films alone. Not getting everything immediately and mixing stuff up is a part of losing yourself completely in something. Honestly, that's the strength of your videos so please look at negative comments with a critical eye. Not everyone needs to like your content and there is plenty different style reactions where they can find what they are looking for. Don't regret or neutralise your strengths to match someone's preference. Especially if that someone is being rude towards you.
This is one of my all time favorites ❤ I love that you loved this!
Mr Banks is a really tragic character - a good , kind person deep down who is lead astray by societys expectations of him.
After the film's release one critic was so charmed by the rooftop sequence that they described it as " the reason that movies were invented ". And if you like the score I can recommend the 2 cd special edition soundtrack. It is really beautiful.
1:01:55 "Go fly a kite...no, I don't mean you PERSONALLY."
In British vocabulary, "Go fly a kite" is their way of saying "go f yourself."
So Mary Poppins has a joke about The F word in it! :)
Nick, my man. Don't let the people who pick on you get you down. You're a real sweet guy and one of the first movie reactors I genuinely enjoyed watching and I always appreciate seeing the happiness that you express. It's therapeutic for many of us. To me it's also like seeing these movies for the first time again. You're actually doing a great service here in helping us recollect our childhood memories. Thank you man. Keep on doing your thing.
Im sorry about how people have been negative! If you loved this, you'll love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang if you watch it again! Bedknobs and broomsticks is a classic, too! You are doing a great job and as always, lots of love and support from Hawaii! 🌺
Can't imagine anyone I'd rather watch this movie with than you Nick. (it's a jolly 'oliday with you mate) Thanx!
I love watching your reactions to these movies, and anyone who thinks they aren't genuine can't read people. I actually didn't like Mary Poppins when I was a kid, but as an adult I absolutely love it. Enjoyed the reaction so much!
This is probably my all time favorite Disney. I used to watch this movie back to back as a vhs tape. When it would be finished, we’d hand rewind it and then watch it over again. The songs are all so timeless and so drive the story forward. I can’t think of another movie that’s done that.🥰🥰🥰🥰🙄
Watching Nick's videos is like watching a movie with a close friend, and it sucks that people are being rude to him, common guys give the man some slack and let him live his life
Your emotional reactions are so absolutely beautifully authentic. Don't change, ever. You are a beautiful person.
