Special Features:
| 1. |
The movie received 13 Academy Award(R)
nominations and won 5 Oscars(R) for Best Actress, Best Song, Best Music
Score, Best Film Editing, and Best Special Visual Effects. It also received
a special scientific award for the creation and application of Color
Traveling Matte Composite Cinematography, which helped make the combination
of live action and animated actors in the film possible. |
| 2. |
The special effects work on the film was the
most challenging the studio had known. Everything from the two-strip sodium
process and piano wire to bungee cords were used to create the magic
sequences. |
| 3. |
The film began its fabulous box office run
at a lavish premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theater on August 27, 1964,
becoming Disney's most successful feature at that time. |
| 4. |
At the film's premiere, Pamela Travers,
author of the "Mary Poppins" stories, approached Disney and commented, "Miss
Andrews is satisfactory as Mary Poppins, but Mr. Van Dyke is all wrong, and
I don't really like mixing the little cartoon figures with the live actors.
When do we start cutting it?" Disney didn't change a thing. |
| 5. |
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, meaning
fantastic or excellent, is not the longest word in the English language. The
45-letter pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokonios, a special form of
silicosis caused by ultra-microscopic particles of siliceous volcanic dust,
is. |
| 6. |
"The Simpsons" spoofed the movie with an
episode featuring a housekeeper named Sherry Bobbins. Unfortunately, she
wasn't as successful as Mary Poppins in reforming the family -- or getting
away at the end! |
