Talk:Bedknobs and Broomsticks

message: Is there any confirmation that 1) the 1979 reissue was 99 minutes long, and 2) that all songs (save for two) were removed? I'm very skeptical of this, and would like independent confirmation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gmaletic (talk • contribs) 17:16, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

message: The bed is now a type of transport and with the travelling spell, it is able to go anywhere in the world.  The Island of Naboombu is certainly not in "the world," at least as we know it, and the bed can certainly take us there!!  (Read on in the article; Naboombu's location outside of the human world made it impossible to bring the Star of Astoroth back to England.)  I cleared up this contradiction ... ;)  Music&Medicine 01:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Bedknobs and Broomsticks, perhaps because of its very episodic character, lacks the zest and appeal that Mary Poppins has.
I think this statement perhaps violates WP:NPOV. It comes  across as a personal opinion rather then a neutral fact. I personally prefer Broomsticks to Poppins myself, so what does that say? If you believe the general general consensus is that Broomsticks indeed lacks the "zest and appeal" of Poppins, I suggest citing a source for the statement. Celebrity-Benji 03:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The comment is absolutely POV and does not belong in the article.  If some notable critic made that statement, it should be quoted and cited. Also there's no reason for it to be in the intro.  --George100 04:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not to mention that without a concise plot, Mary Poppins is in fact far more episodic than Bedknobs and Broomsticks which is all tied together into one central storyline with little filler or sub-plots.T.W. (talk) 18:19, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

message: In the text of the synopsis we are told of the Isle of Namboobu, the place the brass bed takes our "heroic" group. It has been identified as "a cartoon realm where fish can talk" and also established that the isle is an(animated) fantasy world, using the phrase "An anthropomorphic sailor bear", to describe the inhabitant who has fished them out of the lagoon just a bit pretentious for this lively movie from Disney Studios.

message: As a child I owned a Vinyl Record with different animation animals on the cover.  It featured Beryl Reid, Hugh Paddick and The Rita Williams Singers.  I believe it was the recording from the stage productions which I always imagined happened before the movie version. K9ine (talk) 23:25, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This would be the first I've ever heard of a stage production.  More likely, the record company acquired the rights to the songs but not to any other aspect of the production.  I recall a similar album of songs from Mary Poppins featuring Mary Martin.  Powers T 16:49, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reception needs more information 

message: I removed this section for two main reasons. The first, it was unsourced. The second, per the Manual of Style, these sections are "especially discouraged." The MoS states that discussing why the producers made such changes (cultural differences, production difficulties, etc.) would be much more important than just listing them, even if they were sourced.  --McDoobAU93 16:59, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Given that the film is set in the early 1940s it might be more appropriate to refer to "Miss Price" rather than "Ms. Price," as the former is the form used throughout the film.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.249.207.195 (talk) 21:31, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
