History YMMV / BedknobsAndBroomsticks

* MemeticMutation: "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Stop! That! Ball!!!!!!!!]]"

* VindicatedByHistory: Somewhat - it didn't make ''quite'' the splash as ''Film/MaryPoppins'' or ''Film/TheSoundOfMusic''. Some thought it was trying ''too'' hard to be a ''Film/MaryPoppins''. As the years went on, people are a little more warmer to it (Especially in Australia) and point out that yeah, ''Film/MaryPoppins'' was ''quite'' a ToughActToFollow.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Despite being set during WWII, the traveling sequences are done with the super trippy and colorful visuals that are commonly associated with films of the 1970s, plus the "Beautiful Briny Sea" has a dance contest happened and while the music and clothing is period-accurate, the same cannot be said for the inclusion of a disco ball.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Film/MaryPoppins''. Let's see, it's an effects-heavy musical fantasy with a period British setting, and it's about a magical woman taking children on a series of episodic adventures, with one of them going into an animated world. And that's not to mention the huge amount of [[ProductionPosse shared cast and crew]] between the two movies, including [[Creator/RobertStevenson the same director]] and [[Music/TheShermanBrothers same songwriters]].

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Film/MaryPoppins''. Let's see, they're both effects-heavy musical fantasies about a magical woman taking care of children in a period British setting, and she takes them into an animated world at one point. And that's not to mention the huge amount of [[ProductionPosse shared cast and crew]] between the two movies, including [[Creator/RobertStevenson the same director]] and [[Music/TheShermanBrothers same songwriters]].

** On top of that, there's even the use of the animated suits of armour stylized like William the Conqueror's men at the Battle of Hastings, as well ast the aversion to NoSwatstikas showing the U-boats arriving with the Nazi invasion.

** Professor Browne, after turning himself into a rabbit to rescue Miss Price and the Children from the Nazis is seen speaking the line "Jumping Jehoshaphat, more Jerries," when scouting two Nazis outside the castle, with his rabbit body noticeably mouthing the words. Not once did he or the many other characters turned into rabbits demonstrate the ability to speak, whether too themselves or to others, often just acting like the animal they have been turned into. And again after the scene, Professor Browne returns to acting like a rabbit, no speech, until he turns back into a man.

* TearJerker:
** "The Age of Not Believing"
** It's brief, but there's something strangely sad about watching the armor deflate and become lifeless again once Miss Price's house is blown up. After all the awesomeness of watching the armor rise and march forward, England's very history coming alive to protect it in a dark time, now once again piles of metal and cloth. If you watch, a few of the knights actually "die" so they're lying on their backs solemnly clutching their weapons to the chest, as if they were about to be buried.
** Emelius Browne's goodbye, followed by "Nobody's Problem".
