* What becomes of the nannies blown away by the west wind before Mary Poppins arrive?



*** Boys under the conscription age frequently attempted to join the war. Many succeeded. Worse still, when generals started to realise the dire situation for Britain, they started illegally ''allowing'' it.

* When Bert leaves after sweeping the chimney and imparting the last lesson to Mr Banks about what he's missing he says "Sorry to have troubled you." It may be that he means this in both senses; he knows what he has said is hard for Mr Banks to hear and is 'troubling' to him and regrets that, but he also knows that it is necessary for Banks to become a better husband and father.

* "It's grand to be an Englishman in 1910! King Edward's on the throne, it's the age of men!" Mr. Banks sings these words at the beginning, while coming home in a very good mood, but those who know enough history can see the foreshadowing of Mr. Banks going through the changes he's in store for. Given the street scenes, with flowers on the trees, the events occur in the spring - and given London's longitude, probably late April at the earliest, perhaps the first week of May. King Edward died on May 6, just days after the events of the movie. Like England, kept in the dark at the time about the king's ill health, Mr. Banks has no idea he is about to be thrown headfirst into a major life change.

* A much more mild example - Just ''how'' many fragile things (including fish) were knocked to the floor before Ellen, cook, and Mrs. Banks figured out the "[[RunningGag POSTS EVERYONE]]!" routine?

** Perhaps it just meant the children and nanny were up to magic shenanigans again, remember she saw them slide up and down the balcony and likely witnessed some of the nursery-tidying magic.

* Look closely at the facial expressions of the carousel horses. Each one has a look to its eyes and mouth that suits its rider: pop-eyed wonder for delighted Jane's pink horse, determined eyes and teeth bared into the wind for speed-happy Michael's blue one, sly grin and cocked eyebrow for cheeky Bert's yellow steed, and serene smile and dropped eyelids for idealized Mary's violet mount.

* "Playing the Game" from the musical has a fridge TearJerker-- the children didn't know that their toys were [[LivingToys sentient]], so to suddenly find out that they are and that their antics have physically hurt them... and to top it all off, the toys sing that the kids "don't deserve fun".
