Neat. I remember only the vaguest bits about that movie.

and by vaguest bits, I mean... Poppins herself, really.

I'm off to bed soon but I have to say, I really do suck at story and character crafting.

Odd, I have watched Mary Poppins just recently! It's a brilliant movie, I'm not much of a fan for Disney's live action films outside of the Tron and Pirates of the Carribbean movies but this one I could stand to watch it multiple times.

@Applelight: Rest easy, and admittedly, I'm not that good with the character development myself sometimes. Sometimes, I just wind up making The Scrappy even I can't stand. (Epic Fail for me I think if that happens.)

It's a Demonic Lighthouse Slide! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I beg of you, Durza, make it so.

@Apple: Nah, it's just hard. Believe me, I know.

Really? It hasn't been very good so far. Dick Van Dyke is compeltely unnecessary and the only thing entertaining about the chalk scene was guessing which shots were green screen and which were on a painted stage.

@Storyyeller Wait are you watching it now as we speak?

Yes. At the laughing scene right now.

Well I admit the scene where M Ary convinced the father to take them to the bank was pretty funny.

and the children causing a run on the bank in the following scene was hilarious.

I used to love Mary Poppins when I was a kid. As an adult, I've found several scenes to be cloying. Especially the laughing scene. My dad loves the movie, though. My mom, like myself, not so much. That isn't to say I hate it, though, I just feel there are better movies.

More or less. I kind of like the books, there's more whimsy and a sense of mystery about Mary.

Oh no, is Bert going to dance again?

Speaking of which, was anyone else disturbed to see him singing about how happy he is to be a chimney sweep? What next, songs by a former slave?

Okay so not everyone thinks it's amazing but still there's not many movies about a magical nanny who looks after some children who just want some fun in their life though. Oh wait there's another...but-but it's still a classic to some. But whatever it's your opinions at the end of day anyway.

#392542 Thirikal Wed, 21st Aug '13 4:51:36 PM

I'm not saying it isn't a classic film, just that I personally don't care for it that much. Of course, I do like Bedknobs and Broomsticks, so interpret that however you choose.

I know, I know. I haven't seen Bedknobs and Broomsticks actually though I've seen a clip of it so I don't know much about it to be honest. And the last Disney movie I've seen wasn't live action but technically it's partially animated right?

That tuppence and an 8 billion dollar bailout will make everything all right.

Actually there are a bunch. The Sound of Music for instance was way better then this.

Anyway, I think the movie would have been improved a lot if they dramatically shorted the chalk scenes and the laughing thing. The movie goes on way to long as the chalk sequence in particular was pointless. I guess maybe it was supposed to be impressive to audiences back before movie makers figured out how to do green screening properly but Who Framed Roger Rabbit it isn't.

@Storyyeller I'm not gonna win this am I? (Sighs) Anyways do you think puzzles in a fanfic not overused to tell a story? I was thinking for Bradley to get to his world I was thinking Discord could challenge to one of his "games" where he has to go through different dimensions solving puzzles and all the while rescuing all of the Mane Six baring Twilight whose accompying him throughout his journey from the castle dungeons to the highest room in the tallest tower of the castle.

@Starscream: Honestly, it's been so long since I saw Bedknobs & Broomtsicks I can't recall if it has any animation in it or not. It may.

#392548 kegisak Wed, 21st Aug '13 5:35:45 PM

If I'm thinking of the right movie, there's a fair bit of animation. there's at least one scene with animals playing soccer(I dunno the context), and one where some kids get turned into animated... things, that scared the bajeezus out of me when I was young.

Again though, dunno if I've got the right movie.

#392549 Japanese Teeth Wed, 21st Aug '13 5:46:19 PM from Meinong's jungle

I haven't seen that movie! So I don't know!

Yeah, that sounds like it, Keg. They also go underwater and talk with animated fish. Hardly a great film, but kind of fun.
