How come THIS movie never got made into a Broadway musical, I'd like to know? Mary Poppins gets all the hype, I want Miss Price!

I respect how they included ALL of the British empire here and gave respectful depictions of each culture. Beautiful piece of film.

i remember being thoroughly disappointed when i went to portobello road and it wasnt like this :(

Highlanders, Sikhs, Jamaicans, Royal Navy, RAF, the gang's all here

What I find especially good about this scene is that it's doing multiple things at once for the progression of the plot, world building, and personal development. First and foremost, it shows that Mr. Brown is a bit of a scoundrel as he seems to know all the tricks of the trade of the merchants who are trying to sell useless crap to him. Second it shows some the commonwealth (as schizoidboy said) reminding the audience that this is still in wartimes despite the cheerful dancing. And finally, at times the movie tends to feel that it is just showing off for the sake of it, but it's purpose is to show how happy and playful everyone is being in comparison to Miss Price. She, for the majority of the song has been a no nonsense women hell bent on her task, but close to the end, we see a side of her open up as she finally starts to enjoy the festivities around her. All this while also being a good dance sequence. Just a wonderful film.

You can imagine my excitement when I found out that Portobello Road was a real place. I went there last summer and bought an ancient Roman coin.

I love how it's this insane street party... Until some dude with a bell shouts 'closing time' and then they all quietly go back about their business.

I like to think this is what occurs whenever Angela Lansbury walks down the street.

Sees Portobello Road video and thinks "hey, I remember that movie what a fun little song I used to sing along to let's watch it again why not"... ...10 minutes later... "And here ends my dissertation on the lyrical and performative signifiers of class and colonial status in late mid-century British wartime retrospectives. In the next lecture, we will explore..."

The Indian soldiers were always my favourite, probably Sikhs. Also I think this is the single most natural "Everyone breaks out in song and dance" scenes I've seen in a movie.

Flynn Ryder: I’m the first Disney character to question singing. Miss Price: Hold my broom

I've always loved this film because of how indulgent it is. A lot of live-action Disney films of the time didn't dawdle and try and offer as much. This film? For some reason, you can have a kid-friendly summary of England during WWII. It's so charming.

Mr. Brown united EVERYONE in song. I love this segment of the movie; its good fun, good music and the dance numbers were all different! A sweet taste of life during a bad time of war.

There is so much nostalgia for me in the sequence with the two older women and the group of young ladies doing the Irish dance. It just gives me chills. I'm not sure whether its the music, or how much fun the two ladies are clearly having..just makes me smile like no other part of the song does. Disney magic.

What I like about this part is that it shows a portion of the Commonwealth forces that fought during WWII for England.

Can't believe this scene is cut from the disney plus version :( This is my favorite part of the whole film

What I love about this song (apart from its musicality and David Tomlison's excellent acting/singing) is the diversity and the fact everyone was having a fantastic time dancing and singing. If the real world was like this, there might be no more wars.

Feeling nostalgic after hearing about Angela Lansbury. This remains my favorite sequence in Bedknobs and Broomsticks. I had the movie on VHS and would rewind it multiple times because there was just so much going on and it seemed so fun. The Scottish part was my particular favorite. I know everyone raves about Hocus Pocus and the Sanderson sisters, but Eglantine Price remains my favorite Disney witch. RIP Angela.

I just love how Eglantine, at 7:40, just our of nowhere knows the dancing steps and gets so much into it! Made me laugh so much every time.

I was born in 85 but this movie I’m proud to say my parents added it to my childhood. It’s a classic and I show it to my children and hope they will pass this masterpiece on to there future.

The bit at 8:20 was always my favorite because I loved the melody. Maybe I'll try learning the dance one day.

This was always one of my favourite Disney songs because my Grandad had an antique stall on Portobello Road for more than 50 years.

9:15 - Sailor to Aussie: Hey, handsome, don't you run away. Today's your lucky day! *carries him off-screen kicking and screaming*

I always hated that guy with the bell at the end. What a buzz-kill.

RIP Angela, you will be missed.

I always love that guy saying"Napoleon's Pistols"

My parents would never let me watch this movie as a kid because she was a witch. So naturally when I left home I watched it and it is one of my all time favorite Disney movies :-) I love trying to guess what regiment each of the dancing soldiers are associated with :-)

bagpipes are the best part hands down

Too bad Disney has forgotten how to make movies like this.

I always enjoyed this scene as a child but watching it again now makes me appreciate it so much more. It's such a beautiful cultural fair where so many different styles are able to exist in harmony and it's just really wonderful

All the nationalities in order 3:40 Contemporary England/British Army 3:59 Royal Marines 4:20 Royal Air Force 4:34 Canada 4:46 British Raj/India 5:18 probably Cockney 5:38 Scotland 6:22 Caribbean/Jamaica 7:21 Ireland 8:19 Traditional England 9:09 Australia/New Zeland 9:20 Jazz finale

I LOVE the Scotsman Choreography Gives me chills where they are so ON Target!!

My favourite song in the film. It's so inclusive

Best scene in the film! 😊

My small town used to be like this, farmers market would roll up every weekend and the brick street would just be filled with people from all walks of life. parties, music, dancing and singing, soldiers in uniform hanging out after 5 o'clock came around. People just seemed so happy and stress free. No one comes around anymore, don't even think our towns one newer maps, no more farmers market, not enough people come out anymore, no more dancing cuz no one knows how to, no more happiness because people forget how to live.

I don’t know why I can’t explain it but this movie this scene gives me such powerful happy feelings. I love it.

The same song, see the many different versions they made of it. That's pure genius. Now, that's what I call ENTERTAINMENT💯✅

My favorite part of the movie. Watched it multiple times.

David did a great job on this song, as well as in Mary Poppins. May he RIP.

Underrated film. Such an amazing, underrated film.

Now I know what happened to Mr. Banks after Mary Poppins

Another Rare Gem 💎 Masterpiece Classic Of Its Time Never Be One Like It Again

This was always my favorite part of the movie ^_^ I always loved seeing how London was basically Europe's central hub for different cultures of the world who were stationed there to fight WW2 in Europe. I always loved the Carribean part, but I always wanted to see more of the Indian part. I always felt that part was too short.

Ahh the days when a strange man wearing a colander could carry a child off into a crowd and all you had to do was wave because what could possibly go wrong :) honestly i I miss some of our lost innocence. yes of course I know not everything was wonderful. but I also grew up walking many blocks to and from school by myself, and arrived home with my own key where I (sometimes) did my homework and then my chores before my Mum got home. And yes I often talked to strangers, and only five of them ever offered me candy...

ANGELA LANSBURY NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS 😍 loved this whole scene so much

mother of god..this film is 50 years old..i remember watching this on projector waay back when i was grade 2 in 1982...dear god..i am getting old..

8:19 gives me life! It always has since I was a child 🥰

I love this movie! My mum used to teach me how to behave in public based on parts of this song too 🤣 how naughty the characters were by breaking a sofa, drawing on a statue, trying on things without asking, setting the birdies free!

This movie was one of my favorites growing up and this was my favorite part of the movie!

Look at all those British troops, sailors & Indian, Scottish, Irish & Caribbean troops :))

I love this Movie :) I grew up watching the Classic Disney Movies :) The Dancing in this clip is AWESOME! Good clean fun :)

So excellent how this scene portrays English culture quite nicely while also giving the Empire and Commonwealth representation.

This is one of my all time favorite films

I TRULY ADORE this film and I second Dragonrose - WHY have we never seen a musical of this or a film. I was 12 when I first saw this still watching it now at 64! Angela Lansbury is so graceful (she was in fact an amazing dancer in real life seen in this movie she is 46 and still incredibly vibrant!) Sadly never seen AT ALL on any channel - very forgotten film that millions of children would love. Deserved LOTS of awards it never got. Probably the most overlooked children's film of the 20th Century.

My absolute favorite part of the movie! Thank you for this song!

underrated and prob top 5 disney songs ever

Besides being really delightful, I feel like they are low key showing how many different people fought in the war

I think this is an extended version of the one in the film as I don't remember all these sequences in the Portobello scene. my favourites are the Caribbean dancers and steel drums. Also the two stallholder women dancing among the glamorous dancers 8:19 - 9:08 :D

The Scottish dance with the drums and bagpipes always does something to me 😭 especially when you Carrie's (the child) smile as she looks in awe! Brings back such nostalgia, my nonno loved this film ❤

Good bye Angela you earned a place in my heart with your wonderful voice. Rest easy you've earned it

I loved this the first time I saw Bruce Forsyth, you could say it was nice to see him, to see him....

This didn't happen when I went to Portobello road! :/

I've never seen this uncut version before, thank you so much for posting it! So many memories!😁👍

I’ll never forget watching this movie over and over again as a kid! Made my childhood!

Ha! I've seen this movie well over a hundred times throughout my life and I think I only now noticed the pretty dancing girl taking off on her own after the rest of her troop about faces! 4:25 Little details made this movie a classic!

My favourite scene was always the dancing soldiers, especially the (sorry if I get the nationalitys wrong) Indian and Carribbean parts because I loved the dancing and hadn't heard that kind of music before. Such a charming movie, makes me think of staying over at my Grandparent's

love how Ms. Price is looking for the other half of an incredibly old dingy book by flipping through mostly well kept pristine books lol. loved this movie since i was a wee lad.

After almost 40 years why does this song still get me hype?

I heard a melody in a comedy video that was very similar to this and it took me a few hours to realize that this song is what was stuck in my head. I'm really glad that I grew up watching this movie on VHS even though my parents were around 6 when it came out so it was a bit older

Favorite parts 4:45- indians 6:20- Jamaicans 8:19- highlands I see that there was an extended version of this whole sequence

Oh! I remember watching Bedknobs and Broomsticks when I was a little girl 👧 I had it on VHS 📼 it was part of my Disney collection. This and Eglintine were my favorite parts. ❤

Angela's recent death made me think of this movie. It's my favorite one she starred in. And this will always be the best musical number in Disney. Rest in Peace Angela Lansbury ❤️

I loved this movie as a kid. I majored in history in college and love how even in the 1960’s when this film was made, they accurately represent all of the factions of the British Empire who served in “His Majesty’s” military and did their part to save the free world from Hitler and fascism. West Africans, Scots, Indians, South Africans along with the regular royal British Army, Navy and Air Force. I only wish they had had musical section for the ANZAC’s (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) would’ve been awesome to hear some didgeridoo’s. 😂🤣💙

I haven't seen this extended version in years, the shortened one was on my old VHS and so that's the one I remember, think they managed to capture a bit of everything whilst trimming some longer dance sequences. Both are good, shorter one flows a little better for me, but maybe that's cos it's the one I grew up with!

I went to Portobello Road yesterday and I have to admit, I was singing this song and humming the tune constantly :D

Sometimes the silliest words pop into my head. It's a good thing, too. I love this movie. It's one of my favorites.

My grandmother (88) and my mother (59) loved this more than me when I was a kid. It reminded them so much of the real place.

Ahhh...... Don't ya just love the bagpipes. Such a wonderful sound.

This movie will always be in my dreamer's heart, one of the beloved magical fantasy of my early years in this incarnation. Many thanks for sharing😇😍

Despite it's setback to get produced, this film I actually found more entertaining than Mary Poppins, and that's saying.

God I haven't seen this movie in years, it used to always show on Disney Channel when I was a kid. I've forgotten how mouch I love this.

I always enjoyed this part of the film. To my young mind I saw a pletheral of various dancing styles and I enjoyed it.

Iv seen this movie loads of and it becomes even better everytime,because there is so much I understand now. To see Mr. Browne alonside with the kids while walking hand in hand with them, and waving to Paul to while sitting at the piano and miss Price taking part in a jolly dance,reminds me a bit of my own parents and grandparents when they took my sisters and I to a funfair as kids.

The Jamaican dancers were always my favorite!

As a child, the indians and the highlanders were my favourite. Now Disney has forever been defiled by going digital!

“Lovely to see you, goodbye” P A T R O L L E D

I love this dancing part😁😁😁😁😁😃😃😃😃😃😃

My kids grew up on the movie and I've seen it countless times.

best part of the whole movie!!! i love this forgotten gem

Such a lovely celebration of human beings from all different types of culture dancing in unity. It's beautiful and a examplotry way. I love this movie as a kid and for some reason portobello Road song came in my head and of course I KZfaq it. I'm glad I did. I'm going to go see this movie now

9:15 Sailor: "Mmm-mmm! Yer comin with me, Aussie boy!"

I had to watch this, because I was there this morning!

There were some scenes in this that I have never seen before! Glad I found this!

This was my favorite scenes of the movie. This should be in broadway!

Years since my childhood and this tune still pops up in my head for no reason.

One of my favorite childhood movies!

My favourite song in the film - watched it today for the first time in AGES.

Man I loved this movie when I was a child. Bsck then to me when disney did this I was captured by the dancing and the different cultures. I missed this.

This has to be an extended version. There's a couple scenes in here I don't remember seeing any of the few hundred times I've watched this movie since I was a kid.

apparently there are also free dance lesson on the Portobello Road because everyone can dance like a pro there.
