Information
Jane and Michael Banks' ad with the original English text, printed on canvas, from the film "Mary Poppins." The canvas is signed by Karen Dotrice, the actress who played Jane Banks in the film. With Beckett certification. In the Disney film "Mary Poppins" (1964), the ad for a nanny isn't just a detail, but the catalyst for the entire story and a perfect reflection of the conflict between the Banks family's rigidity and the children's desires. George Banks, the patriarch and a rigidly formal businessman, places an ad that reflects his need for absolute order and discipline. The children, Jane and Michael, however, tired of the previous nannies, secretly write their own version of the ad, expressing what they are really looking for: Nanny wanted for two adorable children. Someone who is kind, patient, always cheerful, fun. She won't have to shout, but only play. She will have to look after us children. We are lively but sweet. She will give us lots of gifts and then sing for us. If she wants to make herself loved, she won't make us study. Only light homework. And no purges or enemas. If you feel like obeying, we will never make you regret it. We won't put frogs in your bed. No salt in the tea, no pepper in the coffee. If the offer suits you, hurry up. Jane and Michael Banks. Mr. Banks, outraged by this "absurdity," tears up his children's ad and throws it into the fireplace. But the pieces of the ad, floating upstream, reach Mary Poppins...
