** It's Michael, and not only would he harness it to create antigravity, but he would also be employed by Sony, where he would eventually combine the upward force of laughter with the downward force of sadness to create the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 Emotion Engine]].

* So I take it Harold from ''Literature/HaroldAndThePurpleCrayon'', Rudy from ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'', Paint Roller from ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'', Michael from ''Series/LittlePeople'', and other characters listed at ArtInitiatesLife are gods too.

[[WMG: Mary Poppins and [[Literature/{{It}} Pennywise]] are both members of the same race, but with vastly different ideals.]]

* Bert is as magical as Mary Poppins because he is her opposite. She is a [[LawfulGood force for order]] and he is a [[ChaoticGood force for the good kind of chaos]].

* Better yet: Mary Poppins and Nanny [=McPhee=] are ''business partners'', jointly receiving requests for nannies and dividing the work between them. In the case of the Banks family, Mary took the position because of the "no warts" stipulation in Jane and Michael's letter.

** Mary's song specifically states that the bird woman ''comes'' to the cathedral steps early each morning. If she slept there, she wouldn't need to "come" there again each morning; ergo, it's perfectly normal for her to be absent after dark.

* At one point, possibly due to the Time War, she was compelled to use the Chameleon Circuit to turn herself human, with all her fanciful objects hidden safely away to be recovered when her memories were restored. Like "John Smith", though, she didn't count on falling in love, and went from being Mary Poppins to [[Theater/TheSoundOfMusic Maria von Trapp]].

The clincher is that when the film won Best Score, the Sherman Brothers received a present from a Disney colleague: portraits of them ''as Gilbert and Sullivan''. If ''that'' isn't an admission that it's all part of the same canon, then what is?!

Probably every child who has ever had a nanny wishes for a "practically perfect" nanny. In the Literature/{{Discworld}} book ''Discworld/{{Hogfather}}'', it is shown that if there is enough free occult space, anthropomorphic personifications can be created by someone stating that it exists and others agreeing that it makes sense. Jane and Michael's song perfectly described Mary, and, combined with thousands of children's worth of belief, created her.

Sadly, Mary Poppins is never mentioned nor seen in Harry Potter canon because she was killed during the first rise of Voldemort for her unacceptable fondness for muggles and muggleborns. The children whose lives she touched passed on her story until it got to Walt Disney and her abilities greatly exaggerated over time and for appeal for the film, so the children actually go into the pictures instead of watch them move around and Mary sits on clouds. You can go cry now.

*** But we can already strap buttered toast to a cat's back to create antigravity [[note]]A cat always lands on its feet, and toast always lands butter side down, so if you drop a cat with buttered toast on its back, it will hover mid-air, spinning, unable to land[[/note]] so that would be redundant.

*** Tardis interface, hand-held. Mary's Tardis snarks back to her through the parrot's beak, much like Sexy snarks back to the Doctor using light-flashes, console noises, or adding a surprise biscuit-dispenser to the control array.

[[WMG: George Banks from the film [[Film/FatheroftheBride1991 Father of the Bride]] is related to the Banks family in this film.]]
He shares their last name and even the first name of the father. Plus, I looked up somewhere that his character was, in fact, named after George Banks from Mary Poppins. He may have been named after him even in-film. Maybe his parents or grandparents at some point moved from England to America.
