** The fact that George was likely one of the hundreds of thousands of British soldiers who went to France and never returned.
** When Mary asks about Bert early on in the film, Jack mentions that he's traveling the world, hence why he's not involved with the film's events.
** A bit of FridgeHorror: Perhaps Winifred died during [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_strategic_bombing_during_World_War_I World]][[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_casualties War I]] or more likely, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu Influenza Pandemic]].
** Unfortunately, ''more'' fridge horror in the fact that World War 2 is literally about to begin. Even if Michael is given deferment due to being a single father, his family is still right in the path of the oncoming bombings of London (unless they become BlitzEvacuees).
** Mrs. Brill, Constable Jones, and Uncle Albert are absent from the movie, implying they too have passed away.

* At the end of the movie, the Banks' house is redeemed. But then you'll realize on what will happen to the houses in London [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII a few years after the film takes place]], assuming their house survives.
** Worse yet, Michael is of age to be enlisted, and it's bad enough that his children have no mother and would have to evacuate. What happens if they have no father?

** Speaking of that sequence, her accent change makes for a nice homage to English music halls of that day and age; much like the American Vaudeville, it was a place of lower class performers entertaining their kind. A cockney accent and a bawdy number, both usually associated with lower classes, are very appropriate considering all that.

* Mr. Dawes Jr's claim that the Michael's tuppence had grown into a large enough sum to pay off the loan on his house seems... outlandish. His mention of "clever investments" seems to suggest the possibility that he's lying about the source of the money. Either he paid it off with his own money, or, being the guy who ''runs'' the bank, he decided to just forgive the loan with a cover story to let Michael save face.
** On the other hand, given Michael's absent-mindedness where it comes to money, it also seems perfectly likely that he just ''doesn't know'' he's financially well-off.

* Mary Poppins acts the proper English lady, speaking the Queen's English at all times, and always agrees reluctantly (or seems to) to any suggestion or idea placed before her, often with a deep sigh and an "oh, very well." When on stage, she can't help but cut loose into a bawdy Cabaret-style number, slip into a heavy Cockney accent, and agree enthusiastically to every idea. ''A Cover is Not the Book'', indeed.

** Assuming of course they weren't [[StealthMentor subtly warning to the children that Wilkins isn't friendly as their father likes to believe]]. The fact they are voiced by the actors who played Wilkins and his lawyers as well as using a pocket watch as their object motif (something that the Banks children would later identify Wilkins' true nature) indicates that this is the case.

Not sure if the whip was in the final film or not, because I've only seen it once.

* Wilkins may not just be a MorallyBankruptBanker in attempting to seize the Banks' house. Remember that Michael made a ruckus about investing tuppence into the bank, hoping to donate it to "feed the birds" instead. This resulted in the bank suffering a significant loss as his outburst when the phrase "they're stealing my money" spread out like dominoes. He may be hoping to get back at him this way in particular.

* During the ''Nowhere to Go but Up'' sequence, when everyone floats away on balloons, Gooding is clinging to Frye rather than floating on a balloon of his own. Why? Because he had [[EvilerThanThou much more enthusiastically]] assisted Wilkins in screwing over the Banks family than [[TokenGoodTeammate Frye]] did, so much like Wilkins, a balloon wouldn't work for him. Although unlike Wilkins, he seemed willing to see the error of his ways and give good-natured whimsy a chance, hence why Frye apparently let him share a balloon.
