* Mr. Banks has a whole song about how he loves everything being just so, arriving home at six, with his tea ready at six oh two, and such. Why isn't he concerned by the [[HilarityEnsues antics]] caused by Admiral Boom's cannon salutes? Because ''that'' is [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight part of his routine as well]]. Admiral Boom is nothing if not famously punctual, after all.

* Watching the movie as an adult, it was shocking listening to Chim-Chim-Cheriee and realizing that it was a song glorifying pollution. No, seriously, listen to them sing about the glory of London covered in smoke "hardly no day and hardly no night". It ties back to Song of the South's Zippa-De-Doo-Da in finding the good in everything, but it's still shocking at the horrific pollution of the [[LighterAndSofter Disneyfied Edwardian London]], orders of magnitude worse than anything found in Europe or America today.

** It shows how out of touch the bankers are, going on and on about imperialistic accomplishments ("Railways through Africa, dams across the Nile, fleets of ocean greyhounds, majestic self-advertising canals, plantations of ripening tea."), things that mean absolutely nothing to an eight-year-old boy. If George or the other bankers tried to explain to Michael that by investing, he'd get more money for things ''he'd'' like to do, such as feeding the birds, maybe Michael would've been more open about it.
