I love how Mr. Banks just casually accepts the cannon booms twice a day.

I love it when the other nannies start flying. No screaming, they seem super calm, it's as if they're all going "oh well. Guess I'm flying away now. Bye Bye"

I love how the nannies don't scream, yell or even react to getting blown away. Its so surreal

Mary Poppins is the ultimate how to arrive like a boss

Now that's what I call blowing away the competition!

According to Julie Andrews, the first time they tried filming Mary Poppins entrance, the wire got stuck and she couldn't get down. Passers by heard Mary Poppins screeching and cursing a blue steak that would make sailors blush.

1:51 catches me off guard every single time lmao, she’s just…accepted it

1:50 me accepting my fate

Somewhere in another galaxy, a space pirate takes pride in being called Mary Poppins.

*One of the funniest scenes in Mary Poppins, without a doubt! **1:49** The way that nanny flies away with the music "bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-buuuu" is just hilarious, because of the way it looks and sounds! Gets me every time, it does! 🤣😁👍☮*

This scene always cracks me up when all the nannies would fly away 😂🤣

I'm 50 now and watching this just for the few minutes made me feel like a kid again in my pjs after having a bath because I'd been playing outdoors all day, chasing bugs, rolling down grassy hills and running under the hose enjoying the hot day. And now I'm waiting for the Disney movie to come on 😁😊

Dang. Mary Poppins is one cutthroat competitor. Those were hurricane winds I'm talkin about.

I was four years old the first time I saw Mary Poppins. I'm now 21 and it's still one of my all time favorite movies to this day. Mary Poppins is practically perfect in every way. 😊

You know you're truly British when you always find the time for tea, even when the house is about to shake and you know it's going to happen.

One of the greatest and most beloved film entrances ever !

Twenty-some odd years later, and I still get goosebumps on Mary Poppins' entrance :)

The way that the nannies just blow away softly in the wind like bubbles or tissue paper is hysterical xD

2:26 so boss, yet so elegant

Rewatching this for the first time in awhile and it can't be underestimated the incredible practical effects on display here. It's easy to overlook when viewing in the context of the story but realistically they have at least 4 performers on wire rigs moving at one time

1:00 that part cracked me up a lot as a kid. Still does.

"Ghastly looking crew, I must say!" -- One of the best movie insults.

"I TOLD TIME AND TIME AGAIN, Ellen. I DISLIKED BEING HURRIED INTO THINGS." - Good one George Banks.

"It is NOW 8 o'clock." LOL.

Matthew Garber shouldn’t be dying so young. He was such a cute actor in Mary Poppins. If he didn’t go to India until many years later, he would have still been alive, doing more movies or doing something he loved to do.

This used to scare the crap out of me when I was little.

This is one of the only scenes I can clearly remember seeing when I was in the back seat of my parent's car eating a hoagie sandwich wrapped in tin foil at the drive in - in 1964! I was only 4 at the time, but I remember seeing the group of nannies all cloistered together with their umbrellas popping inside out. For years I was obsessed with umbrellas...maybe because they symbolized a vehicle that could lift me up and carry me away from an unhappy place.

Of all the sequences in this movie, this is the one I never forgot.

If only public transport could be spot on like that with time.

Those nannies were actually men from the production crew for this film!

I'm Mary Poppins, and I'm blowin' the competition away, y'all! Literally!

The nanny trying to do the splits always gets me 😂🤣 1:51

The nanny at 1:50 flying like a starfish is the best one 😂🤣

I like how Mr. Banks just stands there drinking tea when everyone else is diving for cover.

Jane: I don't understanf, they're not what we advertised for at all. Michael: I think some of them are even men!

"Posts everyone!" That was the best part :)

2:22 That is _not_ in fact Julie Andrews. In the audio commentary, Andrews pointed out that that was her stand-in, Larri Thomas.

This made me cry. When I was 10 everything seemed possible, like flying with an umbrella. Now I know better and it sucks lol

Every time I revisit MP, it saddens me that just 13 years later Matthew Garber (little Michael Banks) would be dead of Pancreatitis at the age of 21.

R.I.P. Yondu

And no CGI

Wonderful for it's time, loved it as a kid when i saw it at the cinema, love it today.

Mary Poppins blew them all away! 😂

On looking at the queue of prospective nannies, I detect one or two are (stunt) men. I’m. Curious how many of the flying nannies were stuntmen. The sheer number of stunt flights on screen all at once is a marvel! Someone else in the comments mentioned trash or litter in the streets. Of course, ALL the nannies are either holding copies of the advertisement, and/or letters of recommendation, and/or newspapers, which, I suspect, is by design and merely for the purpose of embellishing the special effect of the strong gust of wind that blows the nannies away. First we see fallen leaves blowing through the group, then umbrellas inverting, then all manner of nannies and advertisements flying away. It’s a beautifully staged & choreographed, comically built, series of stunt flights! I cannot think of a filmed flying sequence that even comes close to the shear number of actors flying at one time - perhaps the scene in The Wizard of Oz, where the flying monkeys swoop down, pick up Dorothy and, fly away! This sequence is pretty spectacular!

Why did these kids believe that their dad would run their ad instead of his own? They know that he's a stick in the mud who's forgotten how to have fun.

You look like Mary Poppins Is he cool? Yeah he's cool! I'm Mary Poppins ya'll!

Mary Poppins is a vibe 🦄

I can't believe Leia was Mary Poppins all along

0:35...yeah that'd be my reaction too if I saw a dozen blokes in drag standing outside my door

I don't know why, but i loved this scene when I was a kid... 😂

R.I.P. All Waiting Nannies. Blown away by the wind.

Am I the only one who thinks about The Wizard of Oz when I see this scene? All of the nannies waiting at the Banks' front door get swept away by an unknown wind and here comes this person floating down on an umbrella whom Michael Banks thinks is a witch. One would think that the nannies were swept out by a tornado and taken to the Land of Oz, but tornadoes happen in Nowhere Kansas, not London.

Julie Andrews has got the most enchanting magical intros to her movies she made iconic.... Mary Poppins & The Sound of Music!

I’ve suddenly turned into a kid again!

This was one of the funniest scenes to me.

That last nanny flying away “spread out” with the trombone playing used to crack me up as a kid, and to my surprise made my daughter laugh too when I showed her this movie about 30 years later!

I am sure that it was Mary Poppins magic that caused the other nanny's to blow away.

I don't use my head to fly the umbrella boy, I use my heart.

Marypoppins is a wonderful character and she's magical

I honestly love that the makers didn't obsess over the bit of trash in the street (1:33) that didn't even quiver during the wind. Shows that they focused on what really mattered: music, character, charm, in other words the important elements.

The nanny flying away “spread out” with the trombone sound always cracked me up as a kid. My daughter laughed at her too when I showed her this movie 27 years after I saw it 😆

still my favorite scene.

Iconic , just iconic

I am 32 years old and I cry of joy...

One of my favourite movies! :)

always enjoyed watching this scene when i was young

Admiral Boom: Ghastly looking crew I must say! Me: I second that Admiral!

Michael and Jane: Hello, Mary.

Nice to see two Upstairs Downstairs connections. Karen Dotrice (Jane) played housemaid Lily in Season 5. Hermoine Baddeley (Ellen) is sister to Angela Baddeley who played the cook Mrs Bridges.

This scene really is ahead of its Time

Years later and I'm still wondering what happened to all of those nannies...

Where did all the other nannies fly to?

The lady at 1:50 took the wind like a G lol

Ahahah, and they ALL DIE horribly impaled on some sharp pointy metal fences or falling down after flying many meters above the ground and getting their vertebra crushed violently 😂😂😂😂😂 Mary Poppins is such a cheeky prankster 😂

It is NOW 8 o'clock.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

2:23 Julie Andrews actually confirmed in an audio commentary for the DVD that that's not actually her making Mary Poppins iconic entrance but her double, Larri Thomas

How they managed to shot these scenes in 1964 without computer- generated imagery? Just imagine seeing this film in the 60s in black and white television, it must've been a jaw-dropping moment.

Beautiful orchestrations

That's not Julie Andrews at the end of this clip. On the DVD commentary, she states that it was her stand-in who flew down. But that is Julie at the end of the movie when she flies off. So, descent = stand-in, ascent = Julie.

They saw her come down from the sky so you think they would not be surprised by her showing up years later in the sequel.

The first time I ever watched this at my school in 2nd grade and we did a play and I loved this show ever since

RIP All of the nannies who died at the expense of the Banks Children’s happiness

I don't know why, but every time I see Mary Poppins coming in, I get emotional.

It's Yondu, yay! :))

Mary does it so elegantly. How she trolls through them like a boss? As she would quote....I NEVER EXPLAIN ANYTHING!

I'm actually excited about Mary Poppins returns

Who saw Mary Poppins Returns? Didn’t beat the original one but was good.

This movie used to scare me when I was a kid.

Yondu: I’m Mary Poppins Ya’ll!

that face at 1:01 - omfg

Ah i used to watch this movie in choir in 7th grade in my all girls choir. After rehearsal and before lunch

Wow, I remember this scene as a kid, lol

0:30 Fun Fact: The nannies are men in Drag

They are extraordinary children.

It's such a shame that Karen Dotrice gave up on acting so early. She would've been a perfect Hogwarts teacher in *Harry Potter*.

She did on earth. Chad leia did it in space

Mary poppins flying in is a magical scene

Is it the magic of Mary poppins that's making them fly away?

All those nannys must be the Ravagers, then you see Yondu flying down with an umbrella.
