Concernant les personnages, je me suis toujours demandé l'intérêt de l'Oncle Albert dans le récit. Sa scène est certes drôle mais totalement dispensable à mon avis, d'autant plus que le film est déjà très long... Sinon j'ai toujours eu du mal avec Bert au début qui s'adresse directement au spectateur. Perso ça me rappelle trop que je suis en train de regarder un film...
Mais bon à part ça (et la chanson Step in Time qui aurait pu être raccourcie de moitié selon moi), le film souffre de peu de défauts. ^^
[Rétrospective] En 2014, la célèbre chanteuse de West End Ruthie Henshall, le BBC Symphony Orchestra et le chef d'orchestre Sakari Oramo célébraient le 50e anniversaire du film Mary Poppins en réinterprétant les chansons du film. Magique !

Lors de la remise de son American Film Institute Life Achievement Award (récompense honorifique à un acteur ou un réalisateur ayant accompli une carrière remarquable au cinéma), le 9 juin 2022, Julie Andrews a été surprise de retrouver une ancienne amie. Une séquence magique !
Dick Van Dyke avait également un message pour Julie Andrews :

- J'ai beaucoup de mal à apprécier ce mélange entre prises de vue réelle et animation, qui pourtant, marche très bien dans l'Apprentie Sorcière. Je n'arrive pas à accrocher même si les personnages sont biens et que j'adore Bert. Ce film je le trouve trop déconcertant pour me plaire davantage. Il est trop loufoque et trop gagesque, c'est probablement ce qui me dérange le plus dans le film.
Le 16 octobre 2023, pour Disney100, sur le plateau de Good Morning America, Ashley Brown (qui fût Mary Poppins à Broadway) a interprété "Feed the Birds" ("Nourrir les p'tits oiseaux" en version française), l'une des chansons favorites de Walt Disney :
Glynis Johns est décédée aujourd'hui à l'âge de 100 ans. Elle avait été choisie par Walt Disney lui-même pour incarner la suffragette Winifred Banks dans Mary Poppins. Glynis Johns s'était associée pour la première fois aux Walt Disney Studios au début des années 1950, lorsque l'entreprise a commencé à produire des films en prises de vues réelles en Angleterre. Près de 50 ans plus tard, elle avait été nommée Disney Legend.
The Walt Disney Company a écrit:
Remembering Disney Legend Glynis Johns
Disney Legend Glynis Johns passed away from natural causes on Thursday, January 4, in Los Angeles, her manager confirmed. She was 100 years old.
Perhaps best known to Disney fans as feminist Winifred Banks in the Academy Award-winning Mary Poppins (1964), Johns became everyone’s favorite sister suffragette. Walt Disney himself personally selected her to play the career-defining role, having been drawn, like many a moviegoer, by her sparkling screen persona. His choice of casting was spot on, as film critic Leonard Maltin pointed out in his book The Disney Films: “She lights up the screen the minute she appears [in Mary Poppins],” he wrote. “She makes every minute count, and her amusing suffragette song is most enjoyable.”
Inducted as a Disney Legend in 1998, Johns was born to Welsh parents on October 5, 1923, in Pretoria, South Africa. She made history when she received a degree to teach dance by age 10. By 12, she won 25 gold medals for dance in England and, by 13, appeared in her first film, South Riding (1938). Her first adult role came in Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s 49th Parallel (1941), released in America as The Invaders and starring Laurence Olivier, Leslie Howard, and Raymond Massey. By 19, she became the youngest actress to play the lead role in the theatrical production of Peter Pan.
She became associated with The Walt Disney Studios in the early 1950s, when it began to produce live-action films in England.
She starred as the capricious Mary Tudor in 1953’s The Sword and the Rose, co-starring Richard Todd. As Helen Mary MacGregor in Rob Roy, the Highland Rogue (1953), she played the spirited wife of a Scottish freedom fighter. A decade later, in 1964, she returned to Disney to star in Mary Poppins. The hit musical amassed 13 Academy Award nominations and garnered five Oscars.
Johns also starred in such television shows as General Electric Theatre and The Cavanaughs, as well as her own series, Glynis. She appeared in other series including Batman, Cheers, and Murder She Wrote, starring another Disney Legend, the late Angela Lansbury.
In 1960, Johns won an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Mrs. Firth in The Sundowners, starring Robert Mitchum. Later, she received a Tony Award in 1973 for her stunning stage performance as Desiree Armfeldt in the original cast of Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music. About Johns, Sondheim once said that her rendition of “Send in the Clowns” remained his favorite.
In all, she performed in more than two dozen theatrical productions and more than 50 feature films, including Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband (1947) starring Paulette Goddard and Dear Brigitte (1965) with James Stewart. She also appeared in a children’s TV anthology version of The Secret Garden alongside Derek Jacobi, for ABC.
In 1994, Johns returned to The Walt Disney Studios to co-star in the Touchstone comedy The Ref. The next year she appeared in Hollywood Pictures’ smash hit While You Were Sleeping, starring Sandra Bullock. Johns was also featured in archival footage in the documentary Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious: The Making of ‘Mary Poppins’ (2004) from Buena Vista Home Entertainment and the HBO documentary Six by Sondheim (2013).

Wishing you a practically perfect weekend with this “Jolly Holiday” visual development art for “Mary Poppins” (1964)! The original artwork is on tour with #Disney100: The Exhibition, which opens at the Kansas City Union Station on May 24. #Springtime#WaltDisneyArchives
i am not sure who i would be without the influence of this man and his brother, robert, who have written so many songs of my childhood, many of which that have haunted me lovingly into adulthood. ‘feed the birds’ is so important to so many people, and, having recently joined the family of entertainment where the sherman’s so beautifully established a musical foundation, feel inclined to share my thankfulness for richard’s life, and sadness upon learning of his death. thank you for everything. say hi to robert for us.
Sixty years ago, the world was introduced to a cinematic version of Cherry Tree Lane. Nice little spot, you might say. Fit with a “responstable” constable who dutifully watches over the Londoners in the area and Bert, a multitalented musician, screever (pavement artist), and London’s finest chimney sweep. Cherry Tree Lane is also the home of Admiral Boom, who is famous for his punctuality. “The whole world takes its time from Greenwich. But Greenwich, they say, takes its time from Admiral Boom,” as Bert puts it.
Just down a bit lives the Banks family at 17 Cherry Tree Lane. “Heavy weather brewing at number 17, and no mistake.” Heavy weather, until one of literature’s most beloved and delightful heroines, Mary Poppins, at long last stepped from the printed page to become an unforgettable personality through the motion picture magic of master storyteller Walt Disney.
Mary Poppins arrives at Cherry Tree Lane amid great fanfare, blown in by the East Wind. Carrying with her a talking parrot-head umbrella and a magical, bottomless carpet bag full of hidden surprises that delightfully puzzle the Banks children and viewers worldwide. For anyone who has seen the film, a whimsical adventure awaits the residents of 17 Cherry Tree Lane, along with some key life lessons. For instance, “Never judge things by their appearance, even carpet bags.” No wonder that it’s Mary that we love!
Carpet bag used by Disney Legend Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins (1964).
D23 a écrit:
On the subject of carpet bags, to celebrate one of the world’s most delightful motion picture spectacles—the release of Mary Poppins, a film that would be critically hailed as one of Walt Disney’s crowning accomplishments and beloved by generations—a collection of iconic props, documents, and artifacts from this musical fantasy is proudly presented here by the Walt Disney Archives. One of these awe-inspiring movie props, the charmingly mysterious carpet bag, is seen above. (Yes, the very bag Disney Legend Julie Andrews used!) Perhaps you remember the first time you saw this film, filled with the same wonder of the Banks children as Mary seamlessly opened her bag and pulled out impossibly large items, including a hat stand, gilt-edged mirror, glossy-leaved plant, and lighted floor lamp. Whether or not you wondered how she pulled off this incredible feat, through magic or special film effects (might as well have been magic, given the film was produced in the early 1960s with very little of today’s technology!), it is still easy to relate to the astonished children, especially Michael Banks who observed after peering inside the bag, “But there was nothing in it!”
I can remember my first time watching Mary Poppins, and all the many rewatches since, and still being mesmerized by that scene, wondering how it was achieved. Having seen the actual bag inside the Walt Disney Archives, I can firmly say just how magical an object it is to behold, and I am thrilled that the prop is in good hands. Of course, I’m not the only member of the Archives staff who feels this way. Darlene Fogg, Senior Secretary with the Archives, remembers going to see Mary Poppins during its 1980 theatrical re-release, commenting that the title character was unlike any character she had ever seen before and that everything “from the scenery to the music, right down to the special magical carpet bag” was perfect. “I am so thrilled that the Walt Disney Archives has the carpet bag in [our] collection,” she continues, “along with other precious pieces from Mary Poppins.”
Eager to see some of these other “precious pieces” Darlene was referencing, I peered inside the bag, just like young Michael, to see if there was anything in it. As it turns out, I found a few surprises and have pulled them out for you to enjoy.
Here are several pieces of Mary Poppins’ wardrobe, all worn by Disney Legend Julie Andrews. From left, the items include Mary’s since-painted-white “Jolly Holiday” boots, her Edwardian-style hat, in the center, and her blue shoes, on the right.
D23 a écrit:
The Walt Disney Archives is a treasure trove of Disney’s rich history. Covering more than a hundred years of storytelling, our collection is a testament to Walt Disney’s enduring legacy. The Archives houses countless of historical objects, each with a unique story, that are carefully preserved in unassuming, secret locations in and around the company’s headquarters in Burbank, California. If our very own Mary Poppins were to fly in for a visit, she might say, “Never judge things by their appearance, even unassuming, secretive warehouses.” In that way, the Archives is like Mary’s mystical bag, which holds treasures of every kind. Over 500 objects related to the 1964 film are safeguarded in the vaults of these locales, and here some are “pulled out of the bag” to represent the film’s production, premiere, merchandising, and legacy.
The production of Mary Poppins was a marvel of creativity and ingenuity. Some of the most lavish sets ever seen in a Walt Disney production were designed and housed across four sound stages on The Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank, California. The Cherry Tree Lane and nearby park set filled an entire stage and was a testament to the filmmakers’ attention to detail. Every cherry blossom, made of materials imported from France and Portugal, was mounted into place by hand, creating a stunning (and memorable) visual effect. A 360-degree cyclorama was painted to surround the entire set, adding depth and dimension to the lovely London sky. These settings were designed and created by art directors Carroll Clark and William H. Tuntke, with Emile Kuri, two-time Academy Award winner, and Hal Gausman handling the set decoration. Noted English designer Tony Walton created colorful costumes and was a design consultant for the overall production.
Pictured above are several items from Mary’s wardrobe that Walton and his team designed: Mary’s classic black hat, with bright red cherries and flowers, her “Jolly Holiday” boots, and her arrival shoes. Becky Cline, Director of the Walt Disney Archives, recalls a time in her career when she received frequent phone calls from Disney enthusiasts who inquired how many cherries were on Mary’s hat. (If you’re wondering, the answer is eight.)
Some passionate Poppins experts may notice that Mary’s “Jolly Holiday” boots look a bit different than how they first appeared on screen in the pastel English countryside. These shoes were indeed worn by Disney Legend Julie Andrews but were later painted white and used in the 1968 Disney musical The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band, where they were worn by actress Lesley Ann Warren.
This colorful production art envisions the film’s animated horse-racing scene, with Mary leading the charge, of course.
D23 a écrit:
Speaking of the pastel English countryside, a team of remarkable studio professionals collaborated to ensure Mary Poppins was a monumental work of artistry. The rich and fantastical animated world they created for the film’s “Jolly Holiday” segment acts as a whimsical break from the characters’ everyday London schedule, offering an inviting, impressionistic journey into one of the sidewalk drawings by Bert (our screever friend played by Disney Legend Dick Van Dyke). This practically perfect production art featuring the iconic horse race sequence is a perfect example of the talent, skill, and imagination of art director Carroll Clark and artists (and Disney Legends) Xavier “X” Atencio, Don DaGradi, Bill Justice, and Peter Ellenshaw. This colorful artwork is among hundreds of concept drawings, exploratory sketches, matte paintings, and other visual art from the production carefully preserved in the Walt Disney Archives.
Snow globe prop used in Mary Poppins (1964), now on view at Disney100: The Exhibition.
D23 a écrit:
Here’s a glimpse of one of the most beloved props in the Archives collection, and from a pivotal scene in the film: a moment when Mary teaches the Banks children a precious life lesson as she sings to them the special lullaby “Feed the Birds” (written by Disney Legends Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman). The story of how this snow globe, featuring St. Paul’s Cathedral, found its way to the Archives is remarkable. One day, years after the film’s release, the head janitor at the Disney studio found the object in the trash. Thinking it was interesting, he saved it and displayed the snow globe in his office. In the early 1970s, when a then newly hired Dave Smith (founder of the Walt Disney Archives and a Disney Legend) saw it on the janitor’s shelf, he correctly identified it as the one from the film. The legendary snow globe is currently on display at Disney100: The Exhibition in Kansas City, Missouri.
A variety of ticket media and ephemera from the film’s grand Hollywood premiere.
D23 a écrit:
Mary Poppins famously premiered at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Thursday, August 27, 1964—arguably one of the most enlivening nights in Walt Disney’s career. Songwriter and Disney Legend Richard Sherman recalled, “It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life…. After four years of working on this film, I was floating on clouds.” The Archives collection preserves several unique pieces from the historic premiere, including this ticket and envelope (left), an official lapel ribbon worn by premiere staff, and a police pass.
It took seven months to plan for such a lavish and special premiere, and this one would be Walt’s first massive Hollywood event since the groundbreaking Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937. The evening also served as a benefit for CalArts, a groundbreaking school being developed to train a new generation of artists. Before Walt’s masterwork was unveiled to the invited audience, a 15-minute film, The CalArts Story, narrated by famed actor Sebastian Cabot, was screened.
Then, the opening credits for Mary Poppins rolled for the first time. Richard Sherman recalled, “We were all praying it would be a success. We thought it was good, but maybe we were just [biased]. Everybody was just glued to that screen. They laughed at all the right places. After ‘Step in Time,’ there was thunderous, screaming applause…. [and] when it was over, everybody stood up en masse and applauded. And they continued standing for five minutes. Women were wiping their eyes. [Co-producer and Disney Legend] Bill Walsh leaned over and winked. I looked over at Walt, and he was all smiles. He felt so good. What a wonderful thing for the creators of the film to feel and see.”
Mary Poppins merchandise items include two Mary Poppins dolls, a cardboard ice cream box that once contained “Mary Poppins Ice Cream,” a ceramic Mary Poppins figurine with two ceramic measuring spoons, and a lunch bag featuring an illustration of Mary Poppins in a pink-colored dress, with its matching Thermos featuring the film’s characters riding carousel horses.
D23 a écrit:
In its initial release, Mary Poppins was a genuine box office hit and received 13 Academy Award nominations, including five wins. Mary Poppins fandom continues to soar to the highest heights, and the Archives houses an impressive array of representative merchandise produced from the film’s release through the present. Merchandise played a vital role in the marketing of Mary Poppins the world over, as Disney licensed the film’s characters to a variety of companies for use on a plethora of product. On the heels of the film’s 1964 release, our magical prop carpet bag left the Disney studio as part of a promotional giveaway by Kraft Chocolates. The first prize was the carpet bag filled with $10,000 in cash. The winners apparently valued the money more than the bag, which reportedly sat in an attic for some 40 years before being correctly identified and finding its way to the Walt Disney Archives.
Pictured above are several notable pieces from the Archives’ collection of merchandise. Two Mary Poppins dolls—one more vintage, in a stylish blue jacket with matching hat, and a more recent one sporting her iconic “Jolly Holiday” look—showcase the differences and looks across generations. We’re also pleased to showcase this adorable lunch bag with Thermos and a ceramic Mary, complete with two measuring spoons. And who wouldn’t want to eat ice cream out of that superb ice cream box?
No other studio could have created a film like Mary Poppins. “Mary Poppins resonated with me because it is simultaneously humorous, innovative, and deeply heartfelt,” says Patrick Letrondo Markulis, a Retouching Specialist with the Walt Disney Archives’ photo digitization team. Patrick and countless other fans have learned from the wisdom Mary imparts on the Banks family, hoping her aphorisms, truths, and life lessons stay with them through adulthood. “In the film, and in life, children see a lot of magic that only some adults see. I grew up hoping I’d be one of those adults,” Patrick adds. What better film can teach us, young or young at heart, that magic can be found anywhere, even in unassuming carpet bags.
This week we are celebrating the 60th anniversary of "Mary Poppins”. Walt was inspired by his daughters' love of the Poppins stories and spent decades pursuing the film rights; the product of that effort was “practically perfect in every way”.
