Trivia

Although the original setting of the first three Mary Poppins novels was the 1930s, Walt Disney changed this to the turn of the century for Mary Poppins (1964). This film, set roughly twenty-five years after the the first, restores the 1930s setting.

Crazy Credits

The Walt Disney Pictures 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.
