Ryan King the times before all the financial crises were great :)

Plus they keep closing the local branches.

Does your father work at the bank?

Ryan King I bet your father wasn’t an administrator at the bank 😆

@@idekmusic8793 Not really, think on the part when Mr. Banks gets fired. Then comes the line about the Boston Tea Party. Also that was the bank financing this tea. :) - Compare the Clip: Mary Poppins vs. Wall Street. put on by harukimar 10/16/2011

+Eve Sav I'm part of the ocean liner(Well they are ships aren't they :P) fandom.. :) Or interest I should say.

That gif needs to be a thing

Yeah and of ripening tea

Fleets of ocean greyhounds!

All from Tuppence

Kills me and my siblings since we were kids. We’re all grown now but can’t stop laughing whenever it gets to that part.

I remember seeing this as a child and I didn't understand what dynamic they were trying to impart.

Their reactions were genuine because they had no clue it was Dick Van Dyke under all that makeup. They were both worried that the horrible old man was going to fall down and die at any moment.

well I watched this movie at about that age and I had no idea what he was talking about either

2008 all over again. These vultures will always be with us.

I think banks usually loose money on foreclosures, its not really what they aim for.

@@kennethwayne6857 No, that's business.

Indeed. During Banks' "How pleasant is the life I lead" number, he mentions "It's great to be an Englishman in 1910; King Edward's on the throne; it's the age of men!", so just before his death with the Empire still at its peak. How things will change in 4 years' time!

The empire that never sleeps

@@jamesklatt Zzzzz

I live in Zambia (former British colony). This all went over my head when I watch this as a kid😂

@@annemusonda9493 Me too as a kid when I first saw it back in 1965. I was in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe recently and talk about "railways in Africa," as I was delighted to see a British built Garrett type steam locomotive on display there!

Angelique Carney I was thinking more like a gold mine.

Yeah tell the bird woman, “I don’t have to pay you squat. I can feed them for free with my own bread”

The kids had NO clue that it was Van Dyke as the Old Man.

Yes topping my bag of weed is Betta.

@@samiam619 Bro... I had no idea it was Van Dyke as the old man.

@@VassilliHD His makeup is really good. It's amusing that today he really is an old man and he looks just like his character.

Fiddlesticks boy

Yes, almost as if Matthew Garber(Michael)and David Tomlinson(Mr.Banks)were father and son in real life! When I first saw Gremlins(original) to me actor Zack Galligan(Billy) seemed to somewhat resemble actress Frances Lee McCain(Mrs.Peltzer, Billy's mom),since their characters were mother and son in the movie. OK, even if they are of the opposite gender, Billy still did seem to resemble his mom a little bit to me, in Gremlins.

I don't see any resemblance between the two.

true

I thought the same

swish007 mine too!!! I still get chills it's just beautiful :)

noir wolf they are...

I know as a child I didn't get it at all

Yes! Best song of the movie. BUT, Fly a Kite is what brings something to the eyes that make it hard to see the video!

So gentlemanly. lol

Used to work in Early Childhood still don’t believe in destroying children’s imagination and creativity correct way to sugarcoating very very sad

Yes, imagine having railways and plantations, imagine having a country that actually works. What horror.

@@ayoungconservative1051 it’s colonialism and slavery tho

Only Disney can make imperialism and colonialism sound fun

Back in the days when the British had indeed an empire across much of the globe.

​​​@@ayoungconservative1051 Imagine strangers from another continent invading your property and by force of guns occupying your property and telling you that you are unproductively wasting your land and the strangers cutting down the trees on your property and building a mine and a plantation on your land and using you as cheap labour in the mine and on their plantation and you have no choice but to work for them because they are occupying all the land in the area and then they build a railway across your land to take away the products of the mine and plantation so that they can make huge profits off of your land's products and imagine that they constantly make racist comments about you and treat you with contempt and disgust as they think that you are barely human and are vastly inferior to them. Do you actually want that to happen to you? Would that actually make you happy?

phyfell001 That and that Banks steal your money, which a bit more of an overt message :P

phyfell001 That, but it's also explained in such sophisticated language, even an ordinary person might have trouble understanding it without further explanation. That just makes it even funnier.

Exactly!

phyfell001 I’m not a big fan of this song but it means more to me now as a young adult with a credit union account and plan to live on my own next year or so.

Your post was prescient! [spoiler alert] The concept's revisited in the sequel, released in Dec 2018.

"Manners maketh man"

And it was interesting that dick van dyke had naturally aged into the role of Mr dawes in Mary Poppins returns and could still pull it off very well

There is very little difference in Dick van dyke as mr dawes sr in the first movie and mr dawes jr in second movie. The accent is the same too.

I couldn't agree with you more. That scene in Saving Mr.Banks is one of the most genius scenes ever directed in cinema history that I've ever witnessed in a film.

Tha movie made me cry so many times. It was really well made!

Just got back from seeing Saving Mr Banks. That movie was awesome! btw I love Dick Van Dyke.

***** I loved both of those movies.

I know these comments are over 4 years old but I’m gonna be completely honest here. You’re gonna think I’m crazy for saying this, but i prefer Saving Mr Banks over Mary Poppins

he was like, just go with the flow son...the the banks sake lmao

No, he's still alive.

I think Bert (the chimney sweep) was in his 30's. The character of Mr Dawes Sr was about 90, which is the same age as the actor Dick Van Dyke and when the original actor of Mr Dawes Jr died in 2013 the character grew older and is now played by the actor who voiced his father.

Matthew Garber die so young OMG :(

Sebas Gleek Yeah, it's sad.

Malet was also Tootles in "HOOK"

I believe the entire theme of Mary Poppins is that there is time to be an adult (responsible) and there is time to be a child (carefree) and one must strive to never venture too far in one direction. Children must still clean their rooms and take their medicine (responsible), but adults should still find the time to go fly a kite and dance and laugh (carefree).

What character did you play as

+Dan Satter (TheTheatricalFedora) That banker from south park was an asshole. there should've been a run on that bank instead of This one.

+cbolanz1 Actually, during the time period this was run... I wouldn't be surprised if they did. Banks had no checks and balances for a long time.

i should've guessed.

+Sara Nightfire yes, in 1910 banks had quite a bit of power.

Indeed lol

It needs tea

Even though this film was made entirely in America

Needs more tea

Except for 1:52

You know what the difference is between these guys and the "Too Big To Fail" banks of today? The too big to fail banks got bailed out by the government. These guys, by contrast, could bail out the government!

Exactly. These wise investors are largely investing in public infrastructure, something useful that can return a good profit. Not that gamble everyone took with the mortgage market.

There were bank failures in Edwardian times as well. They would have been worse because there was no deposit insurance to protect depositors in the event of a bank failure. Chances are the banks did not have the same cash ratios on hand that they are required to today by law, which meant that if a run occurred, it would be devastating.

But it was an official of the bank who approved a loan to finance a shipment of tea to the American colonies, which was thrown by colonists into the harbor.

Cagedguitarist401 J. P. Morgan once did that.

Fiddlesticks boy

Vanilla Beam underrated comment

Exactly. Bring a crust and do it for free. Who does she think she is that anyone who wants to feed birds have to pay her to do it?

All from tuppence, patiently, cautiously, trustedly invested in the (to be specific) in the Dawes, Tomes, Mousey, Grubbs, Fidelity Fiduciary Bank!

ppttpp so? If they were equal to Europeans you wouldn’t be able to be enslaved in the first place!

It’s not the same character. Sadly he died later that night. It’s his son

Mary Poppins is hardly underrated

I think you meant underrated song in an overrated movie. Don't get me wrong, I love this movie. But it suffers from drawn out pacing issues that all Disney films in the late 50s/early 60s had. We just forgive it more in Mary Poppins because the score, music, and acting are so good. Similar to how the original Star Wars movies have pacing issues due to long sequences and stilted dialogue, that we forgive due to never before seen special effects at the time and great acting.

I know, I love it!

98 years old 😧 Still

Steal that boys money! I love when he points to Michael

He did!

Or maybe he just let his guard down, because of the singing old people.

Adelaide Beeman-White I was thinking he was being convinced also. You can't say no to a catchy musical number.

It looks more like brain washing to me.

me too. their greedy, shining eyes at the end of the song! ugh...
