Also, I made a theory a long time ago that Mary Poppins was a fairy, because according to official Disney Fairies lore, there are many different kinds of fairies, and most laughs don’t make it to Never Land, so they become fairies on the Mainland, and are usually human-sized. (The books describe these fairies in a very condescending manner, but I think that’s just because the books are from the perspective of Never Fairies themselves, so they’re bound to think they’re better than fairies that have a more human influenced lifestyle and appearance.)

Obviously, that was before I found out the movie was based on a book, which means it’s probably more about the Banks family themselves. Yeah, to me Julie Andrews was a much better actress when it came to Mary Poppins because she seemed to be more elegant and just a better role for Mary Poppins herself. Has anyone ever read the Mary Poppins books before? Also has anyone ever seen the movie Saving Mr. Banks?
