Posted: 4/11/06 at 9:05pmI haven't seen this movie since I was little. It's probably been about 12 years, and i turn on the TV and there it is on the Hallmark Channel! I had no idea it was about Nazis or who Angela Landsbury was at the time. I'm just in a little bit of shock, so i figured I'd post it. :)

Posted: 4/11/06 at 10:14pmDisney should retool it a bit and put it on Broadway.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I really liked it too, but I always liked and watched Mary Poppins more.
I do remember liking the lion part though. Ooh, and I used to have a bunny who looked exactly like the bunny that Mr. Banks turns in to!

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

Posted: 4/12/06 at 1:45pmI love that song, and this movie. It's amazing. The end of the movie always used to terrify me as a child.

Great film! I have very fond memories of seeing it in a movie theatre as a child.
And it won the Oscar for its special effects... plus was nominated for Art Direction, Costumes, Score and Song (The Age of Not Believing).
I agree that with a little retooling, it could be GREAT on the stage.
I also remember the book was good: "Bedknob and Broomstick." (I don't know why they pluralized it for the film!) It was actually a combo book by Mary Norton of "The Magic Bed-Knob" and "Bonfires and Broomsticks." She also wrote The Borrowers.
