Directed by: Rob Marshall
Starring: Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Emily Blunt, Emily Mortimer
Factual error: When Mary and the children go to the bank the long shot of the bank shows a statue that was not erected until 1994.
Factual error: In various shots of the entrance hallway to the Banks' house, you can see brass-plate power outlets. These are BS1363 type outlets (British 3-pin plug), which only came into use in 1947. Earlier sockets (if fitted at all) would have been of the BS546 round-pin design.
Other mistake: As established in the original and this film, when the Admiral fires his cannon, everything in the house falls off walls and mantles, and everything needs to be caught to prevent them from being damaged. However, when he fires his cannon as Mary Poppins and the children are going out to have the bowl repaired, Michael has already left for work, Jane and Ellen are standing outside, and Mary, the children, are getting onto Jack's bike - leaving no-one in the house to catch the falling objects which would therefore all be smashed or damaged.
Anabel Banks: Everything is possible.
Mary Poppins: Even the impossible.
Question: In a scene where Jack was at the bottom of the stairs in front of the house and Jane comes out of the front door holding a box, does Jack accidentally call her Kate? He then goes up the stairs to help her with the box.
Answer: No. He says "Hey, Jane."
