Trivia

Julie Walters (Ellen) has admittedly been confused for original Mary Poppins performer Julie Andrews throughout her entire career. She has even gone on to sign her autograph and quote "Supercallifragilisticexpialidocious" to strangers, in fear of embarrassing people excited to meet Andrews.

Quotes

Crazy Credits

The Disney logo is set in 1930s London (Big Ben and Tower Bridge can be seen), amidst drizzly weather.

If one looks closely, Mary Poppins steps out of the castle and flies away.
