Anyway, Paul agrees to do his bit for king and country and they prepare to set off for London. It’s never actually explained where her powers come from in the film, so allow me to fill you all in. When I was born I had to chew my way out of the dog that ate her. We then get a scene where Eglantine tries to teach herself to ride a flying broomstick because of course we do. Mary Poppins was a genuine once in a generation kind of film, with all the elements coming together to create something perfect. It’s 1940 and Britain stands, or rather totters, alone against a seemingly unstoppable Nazi war machine. I bet you wouldn’t be so gutsy if Bert’s chalk redcoats hadn’t dissolved, would ya?

And that Monty Python reference was just plain perfect.

Change ), You are commenting using your Twitter account. I wonder why Walt loved enchanted brooms so much anyhow? The new cut has a lot of annoying or just plain superfluous characters. Well let’s start with the basic one; pretty much everything that was cut was cut FOR A REASON. Charlie agrees, but suggests that Eglantine give them something valuable as insurance that they don’t spill her secret.

If anyone asks, this is an EastEnders* fan account. Of course, why not just eliminate the middleman and make the bed appear straight on top of Adolph and squash him? Anyway, Carrie is all for staying the course on Plan “London or Bust” but Charlie has had an idea.

Emelius runs back to the farmhouse and discovered it’s been annexed by the Third Reich.

Emelius is a conman, sure, but he has a certain joie de vivre and charm that makes you forgive him for that.

They watch as Eglantine starts to lose control and finally nose dives and plummets to earth.

But for the kind of power you talkin’ ’bout one soul just ain’t gonna cut it. One Punch. I suppose I should explain. Currently watching Bedknobs and Broomsticks on BBC Two. Oh it’s easy. No, they didn’t cut the Nazi’s completely…they just manage to gloss (mostly) over the fact that they are German Nazi’s. Does it succeed?

The credits sequence over, we see two British officers, Capt Greer and Corporal Unnamed Extra, driving towards the sleepy Dover village of Pepperinge Eye.

I love the continuation of the magic brooms gag. None of them are particularly spectacular though. Anyhow: seeing it may be different than hearing it on the soundtrack album, but I always just took it as the normal musical theatre artistic license that a person can burst into full song with a chorus and dancers and full orchestral accompaniment and everyone spontaneously just sings along and then sometimes afterward they all remember it and sometimes it turns out to be just the person’s own internal monologue and no one has a clue. If Frank Millar’s a whore that means he’s got to write himself being killed or beaten up by a superhero. Too bad Eglantine didn’t use the “last place first” rule looking for that spell. And on a completely unrelated note: What happened to the “next page” arrows? Walt’s dead, a crippling blow to the company he created that will find itself increasingly lost and adrift, coasting on the last fumes of Walt’s legacy and inspiration in the seventies, before trying and failing disastrously to chart a new course in the eighties. The old pomp and grandeur are long gone.

It turns out the spell was written on the star medallion of the great wizard Asteroth. Sorry. I’m ranking this on the restored cut because I don’t have the original to hand and reviewing a movie from my own memory wouldn’t be fair. Also all these picture were made by me and it's all thanks to the website fotoflexer. Though it doesn’t change during the first extended bits so maybe I’m wrong. “My God. This of course works out well for Paul, who, as a small blonde child in blitz-era London, can have fun terrifying the locals by pretending to be The Empty Child. While I love it, I would never say that Bedknobs and Broomsticks deserves to be considered a great movie. Consent to swear!” Good times. That’s not its purpose!

Eglantine brings the children to her remote farmhouse and rather begrudgingly gets them settled in and lays down the rules of the house (dinner at six, wash before meals, no using the wardrobe to go to Narnia). So that was lucky. Why is everyone chanting?! You just show up somewhere, and sooner or later someone gets murdered and I collect their soul. Towards the middle of the sixties, they must have felt as if the sun would never set on their empire. This list is only about Disney villains who turned up in animated full-length feature.

Do you know how long the Portobello Road musical sequence lasts in the restored version? It’s not a bad scene by any means, O’Callaghan is the strongest of the three child actors and she sells it. Turns out Emelius did have the spell in print after all. Fifth: The star doesn’t get lost.

This leads to the song Eglantine, a breezy little ditty where Emelius tries to charm Eglantine while she searches the library desperately for the spell book. The Treguna Mekoides is no mere Substitiuary Locomotion spell! In this way, Bedknobs is almost Mary Poppins polar opposite. They’ve taken Zossen to the south and are advancing on Stansdorf.”, “Heller’s assault on Pepperinge Eye will bring things under control.”, “Heller couldn’t break through. And as much as I like the Portobello song, no song is that good that it can take up 10 minutes of a movie). Kind of dicks.

Ms Price is in the village to pick up a parcel from Mrs Hobday but ends up getting saddled with Charlie, Carrie and Paul.

Even beyond the grave. We then get a cut song for Eglantine called Nobody’s Problems. ️. In the end of that film, you’ll recall, the Banks family are reunited as Mr Banks assumes his role as father. Maybe I’m generalizing here, but I’d imagine that would be akin to a Canadian being able to admire patriotic moments for the United States in works of fiction, which personally can often be hard.

This was all stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor because the movie is stronger without it.

Okay, the movie begins with a quite gorgeous credits sequence that apes the Bayeux Tapestry while depicting the events of the film with some artistic licence. Note that I use the word “sound-alikes” in the same way that Fox News uses the words “Fair and Balanced” or that North Korea uses the words “Democratic Republic” i.e., as a bitter and hateful mockery. That’s it. Ze Englander has seen through our deception!”. Sixth: The Nazi scenes are (I think) shorter, but they are still there…basically Emmeline sees the soldier, tries the phone and the scene ends with him taking the phone from her, than a short talk in the office, where it is explained that this is only a test invasion (but naturally they would never harm women and children – well, it’s not said that way, but it is suggested), and then the scenes go as you descriped, with Emelius going to them aso. And as evidence goes, that’s certainly watertight. Of course Emelius and Eglantine aren’t suddenly going to settle down together and raise three children together.

The ability to travel anywhere in the multiverse? “The enemy has broken through along a wide front.

The destruction of her study apparently has the effect of cancelling Eglantine’s power and she falls from her broomstick while the suits of armour slowly collapse into lifelessness. I know this is a touch bizarre. It’s not something you can plan, and it’s damn near impossible to make it happen twice.
