Mary Poppins/Trivia

Trivia

 * The "A Spoonful of Sugar" song sequence contains a double-goof. At one point in the song, Mary opens the window and performs a brief duet with a robin. However, it is clearly an American Robin (Turdus migratorius) rather than the unrelated European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) found in England. In addition, it is two male robins building the nest outside the window, which is unlikely.


 * In 2005, the film was in the theatres in Israel for the first time, and it was dubbed by the actress and singer Ninette Tayeb.


 * While being a notable film to combine animation with live action, it was still using old techniques and many faults are easy to see. For example, by looking closely during one scene where Bert dances with the animated penguins, you can see that they are transparent and the leg of the table where Mary is sitting at, is visible.


 * The Penguins from Mary Poppins can regularly be seen on the TV Show Disney's House of Mouse. They reappear in 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit, serving patrons at the Ink & Paint Club.


 * In a poll conducted by Channel 4 (UK TV channel) in 2003, Mary Poppins was voted the 5th best musical of all time.
