Compared to lesser-quality movies about a workaholic dad learning to spend more time with his kids, I admire how _Mary Poppins_ also has the kids learn to appreciate how much their dad goes through to support them.
In this scene Bert helps the kids understand their father’s situation better And then he gets through to Mr. Banks. So in a way Burt is really responsible for the family making a better connection
"Father..? In a cage? "They makes cages of all sizes and shapes, you know." After watching Saving Mr. Banks, this small dialogue right here suddenly hits so much harder.
Absolutely correct! And another line that hits me personally is later in the movie when Bert is talking with Geroge and he says, "You're a man of high position. Esteemed by your peers." When you put two and two together, you realize that George's mean and greedy bosses basically took away his self-esteem and held him prisoner in the financial world to a point where Geroge has nobody to lean on to but himself. Which is why he's so strict and barely shows any love to his children. Because his bosses made him believe that discipline and power is more important than love. Similar to how abusers control their victims and make them believe that discipline is more needed than love. All George needed was a spoonful of sugar (Kindness, love) to help the medicine (Discipline, stress, finances) go down, which not only made him a changed person, but also helped him stand up to his bosses and be freed of his overbearing job. In a way, it makes me feel sympathy for George.
This might be the most underrated scene in the movie (and perhaps my favorite). I started looking at it differently after Saving Mr. Banks, but it became especially meaningful after I started working at a bank. I don't know if it's true for everyone, but there's something about working in a bank that truly sucks the life out of you. Say what you will about school, but it's meant to engage, challenge, and help you grow. It can teach you to answer questions like "who am I?" and "what kind of person can I become?" Banks don't do that. Their only concern is making money and getting through the work day. I'm lucky that my bank will do so without screwing people over (especially after that whole Wells Fargo scandal), but some of the head honchos openly admit that good ethics lead to good publicity, which leads to more money for the bank. Sorry about the rant, thanks so much for sharing this scene. I needed it :)
No, I get it because I’m an artist but on the side I have a job as an associate at a department store, and I learned that the two jobs couldn’t be more different because as an artist I’m really in my element and I feel that I have total control over the agenda, but when I go to my other job in retail I feel like a totally different person who is just a number and who isn’t supposed to stand out. There are times that I do feel angry and frustrated and I want to scream at people but I know I have to remain calm and keep working. I came here because of what Bert said “They make cages in all shapes and sizes, banks shapes some of them; carpets and all.” I think it’s safe to say that they also make cages in the shape of department stores too!
Oh God, I always grossly sob everytime! Is it even humanly possible to be that kind and that compassionate? Never blaming or scolding anyone at all? Bert is my fav character of that movie! ♥
I don’t know if any other character from a film had influenced me more growing up. Being kind, compassionate, and friendly towards others brings joy and warmth to both parties. That comes from the heart and personal choice!
This was my favorite scene of Bert, because it shows what an ideal father looks like. Bert usually comes off as a bit of a buffoon and an idiot most of the time. But here it shows that his care free nature and silliness comes from just being a happy guy who tries to share that happiness with kids. But underneath that goofy personality is a wise dude who immediately assumes the role of caretaker. He calmly checks to make sure the kids are okay and asks what's wrong... and THEN provides an easy to understand bit of wisdom to them to show that their father DOES love them and is just under an enormous amount of stress. More importantly, the kids felt comfortable enough around Bert to tell them what was wrong and what they were feeling. I always thought Bert was the comic relief of this story, but only now realize he embodies what a father truly is. Someone who keeps your spirits up but is someone you can always go to for help or guidance. Yet at the same time, someone who can keep you in line and help you grow.
Yeah…Bert does come off as a bit of a plonker who isn’t too bright. But he knows about life and the practicalities of it and most of all he empathises so much with others. This is what we always loved about him.
Yes correct you took the sentences and made it a paragraph and took it out of my mouth. (Not a bad thing I promise) you explained it so well that I probably couldn't do it as better as you. I do believe Bert comes off as silly, goofy, and a complete nincompoop on the outside but inside he's smart in his own way and talks out the problems easily
I don’t care what people say about Dick Van Dyke’s staged accent. He was brilliant in the film, and he brought a very memorable character through and through.
Bert: Don't take on so. Bert'll take care of you, like I was your own father. Now who's after you? Jane: Father is. Love that line and Karen delivered it perfectly. For an eight year old she was a good little actor.
@@rumeunner3245 - Normally I would agree - for adult women, that is, because I'm a traditionalist. However children normally get called child actors. Saying child actress seems a bit "off".
The saddest part about this to me is how true it still is almost 60 years later. With all the awareness about mental health and changing gender roles, this is still accurate and I don't see it changing.
Watching this scene, I've come to the conclusion that Bert is the true hero of this story. Not Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins was more or less a metaphorical mirror that reflected back the faults of both the Banks children and George Banks. It's Bert who explains it to them. He has a scene later where he talks to Mr. Banks about what it truly means to commit yourself to your family.
In a way, the entire movie is a great representation of the New Testament. Mary Poppins = Jesus Christ. Bert = John the Baptist. Jane & Michael = the Disciples. Mr. Banks = Israel. Mr. Dawes = Judas.
Albeit Mary Poppins is a fabulous movie and one of the greatest Disney films there is, and sure no doubt one of the best in film history...I can admit I fast forwarded through the part where Bert sat down with Jane and Michael, because I was a kid back then and these things did not make sense to me at that time. My family always told me there's a message in there that must be heard...and now that I've grown up, I realized they were right.
Thats the whole point of the movie though... people think it's about Mary Poppins and the kids, when really the most important character is George Banks.
It's amazing how Bert has a new job every now and then, neither one of them may be the best way to earn a living, but at least he's shows how dedicated he is doing each and every one of them.
I feel the same way about Scrooge, the same way Bert feels about Mr. Banks. "There he is, cooped up in that cold, heartless counting house of his day after day with nothing to keep him company but cold, heartless money."
You know Bert is a true father figure for the banks children always there to help them out through childhood very well and trying to find the right advice for them great character Bert is all the way
Oh I don't think it's tough per se. It's a very poignant scene and an important one to help build empathy between children and parents. It speaks to so much truth.
@@nathancruz9172 I liked how he was in "Mary Poppins Returns" especially he was either 92 or 93 years old in that movie and being a very old senior citizen in that movie, it was amazing how he was able to move and jump around like that being a very strong senior citizen.
When I was little (ages 5- 11) Mary Poppins was my favourite then Jane become my favourite for a couple years and now Bert and Mrs Banks are my favourite characters
@@afriendofbean My father said: “A man in that ages cannot dance” “Really” I said. I showed him the video of Trip a little light fantastic reprise and before that, I said it wasn’t manipulated. He opened his mouth like a goldfish.
@@martabotiasalinero Someone else said that if a person takes good care of himself like eating healthy foods, exercising, and taking their vitamins, they can live very long and maybe Dick Van Dyke did the same thing which is why he is strong enough to move and jump around.
I must admit, I never liked the Bank Run scene and it is pretty traumatic to see then the children wandering lost throughout the streets and frightened by the creepy old woman and the dog. But we were all relieved when Bert showed up and saved them, we knew they were safe. I guess we all need a Bert in our lives.
I always wondered how Burt got so wise. Maybe he was in Jane and Michal's place when he was their age. Maybe he had a bad relationship and frition with his own father at some point and someone told him the same thing.
I like to think he's just emotionally intelligent enough to not only assess the Banks family dynamic but then to explain it in a way Jane and Michael can understand
(Jane and Michael are escaping from the bank and suddenly, they find a chimney sweep and they scream) BERT: Here, here, half a moment. MICHAEL: Leave my sister alone! BERT: Easy, now. Your old friend ain’t gonna hurt you. JANE: Bert, it’s you! BERT: In the flesh and at your service. MICHAEL: You’re filthy! BERT: Oh, perhaps a smudge or two. It so happens that today I’m a chimney sweep. JANE: Bert, we are so frightened. BERT: Now, now, don’t take on so. Bert will take care of you like I was your own father. Now, who is after you? JANE: Father is. BERT: What? MICHAEL: He brought us to see his bank. JANE: I don’t know what we did, but it must’ve been dreadful. MICHAEL: He sent the police after us, and the army and everything. JANE: Michael, don’t exaggerate. BERT: Well, now, there must be some mistake. Your dad is a fine gentleman, and he loves you! JANE: I don’t think so. You should’ve been the look on his face. MICHAEL: He doesn’t like us at all. BERT: Well, now, that doesn’t seem likely, does it? JANE: It’s true. BERT: Let’s sit down. (They sit down in the stairs) Begging your pardon, but the one thing that my heart goes out to is your father. There he is in that cold and heartless bank day after day, hemmed in by mounds of cold, heartless money. I don’t like to see any living thing caged up. JANE: Father in a cage? BERT: They make cages in all sizes and shapes, you know. Bank-shaped, some of them, carpets and all. JANE: Father’s not in trouble. We are. BERT: Oh, sure about that, are you? (Jane and Michael nod) Look at it this way. You’ve got your mother to look after you, Mary Poppins, Constable Jones and me. Who looks after your father? Tell me that. When something terrible happens, what does he do? Fends for himself, he does. Who does he tell about it? No one! Don’t blab his troubles at home. He just pushes on at his job, uncomplaining, alone and silent. MICHAEL: He isn’t very silent! JANE: Michael, be quiet. Bert, do you think father really needs our help? BERT: Well, it’s not my place to say. I only observe that a father can always do with a bit of help. Come on, I’ll take you home.
A part from the "I Love To Laugh" scene, I like this too because Bert's like a big brother/uncle/2nd father to Jane & Michael which is what makes this a heart-warming scene
That's actually not when Bert met Jane and Michael. Yes it was at the park but Mary Poppins was there and introduced them he was making the drawings on the sidewalk when he met them. Good scene through it was sad to hear how the kids felt their dad didn't love them Bert definitely helped them too. They already knew each other that's why Jane knew it was him
Mary Poppins introduces the idea that nobody understands from the outset and Bert helps everyone really understand what she meant by bringing the lesson down to earth and helping them relate to what they need to learn. They are a package deal and neither one could have succeeded in helping the Banks family without the other. Bert has no opportunities to interact meaningfully without the openings Mary Poppins provides. Mary Poppins instigates situations that draw Mr Banks’ attention to his children and forces his hand into reprimanding her. This gives her an opening to trick him into the bank trip that was always going to end poorly. Feed the birds is an analogy for charity and seeing a need beyond the end of your nose. By planting this seed with the children she exposed it to their father who initially disregards it out of hand. Bert then can unpack the lesson with Mr Banks himself and not so gently remind Mr Banks what really matters in life and how askew his priorities have become. Mary Poppins’ efforts only lay the groundwork and can only take the lesson halfway; Bert brings the lesson home.
This was a very emotional scene.😢 This scene should make people think about their fathers and how lucky they are to have a father. ❤ After seeing Saving Mr. Banks and the scene where PL Travers burst into tears watching this scene on the big screen, I really began to think about my father and what a great guy he is 🥲🥲🥲🥲.
dis scene really shows how Mary Poppins wasn't there 2 save Jane and Michael she was really there 2 save George Banks as perfectly shown in Saving Mr. Banks.
Chim Chiminey Chim Chiminey Chim Chim Cheroo ........... When your with a sweep you're right up the flu..... No! Wait. Brush Up Your Shakespeare. Step In Time.
“Who’s looking after your father? Tell me that.” As a kid, I had no idea what Bert was talking about. When I became a breadwinner, that’s when my cogs started turning to this scene.
Recently had occasion to research the situation of chimney sweeps in the 19th century -- many of whom were very young boys. The romaticization of chimney sweeps ignores how dreadful and terribly dangerous the work was.
There was a short scene in 'Step In Time' where they showed two chimney sweeps dancing ON TOP of two chimney stacks. The camera pans back to Mary Poppins and her face is one of shock and astonishment. Dangerous, indeed.
0:01 Bert: Here, here in a half of mo! Michael: Leave her alone! Leave my sister alone! Bert: Take it easy! Now your old best friend ain’t gonna hurt ya!
I think, to make it a bit more trustworthy for kids when they run away, Bert could have hastily been like, before they would bump into him,: "Stop! It's me, Bert! You, me and Mary Poppins went in my drawings! Don't be afraid!". It's just I feel like children wouldn't want to do the same like here as they would run away if they mistook that guy for a stranger
2:00 Michael's right! George Banks isn't really silent! Way to go, Michael! Jane, that's rude to say Michael, be quiet really hurt my feelings and that's not fair or polite! Now get over it, Jane! Don't you dare! It would only make me worse! It's really quite serious!
Mary Poppins 1964 Version: Jane: This has gone far enough, Michael! Michael: I'm just telling you and Bert that our father is not very silent! Just leave me alone! Jane: I can't do that! You have ignored me too much! You both have! Michael: It doesn't have to be this way! Jane: I have no choice! Times have changed! Telling you to be quiet isn't enough, anymore! Michael: By telling me and anyone to be quiet without me telling the truth?! That's doesn't sound nice! The Constable or Mary Poppins will not appreciate it! Jane: I don't care! I'll tell you to be quiet if you tell the truth too much! I'll silence anyone who gets in my way! Michael: No! The Constable: Jane! Jane: Constable? Bert: I don't know the rest of you, guys, but I spotted several big mistakes! Jane: But how did you?! Bert: Let's watch my favorite part, again, shall we? (plays broadcast with a recording tape) Jane: I don't care! I'll tell you to be quiet if you tell the truth too much! (3x) All people: (gasp) Jane: No, no, everyone, I can explain! You see- Constables: I'll get her! All right, come with us, young lady! Mary Poppins: Yeah, Jane, you don't dare to do anything to Michael your brother! Jane: What? What are you doing? Take your hands off of me! You can't arrest me! I hope you're happy, Michael! You destroyed all good manners! Now our father's bank is dead! Where can everyone have quiet now? Things you do would only get worse because of you!
Disney has fallen so far from everything. I can't even imagine what Walt or even Roy Disney would think if they could see it now. But I will say since the mid 2000s. It just hasn't been what it was when we were growing up.
Bert: Who does even in charge of him to tell anyone off to think about it over on ya? The answer is: No-one! Don’t blip to blab over his troubles with you at home at all. 1:42

Films rarely make you understand from the fathers perspective.
@@Gambit771
........no, indeed they don't.
That is a fantastic point! Well said
You can see how Bert struggles to make days end meet and has so many jobs to make a coin or two... bless him!
And, unlike recent films about workaholic dads, Mary Poppins does not make the father a blithering idiot or an immature man-child.
"Saving Mr. Banks" made me appreciate this scene a lot more.
This was really a great scene. It's enough to make anyone burst into tears 😢.
This scene made me appreciate this scene
For reall which is why im watching it right now, makes me tear up every time I see it now. I think of Travers crying
Love the way Bert stands up for the Dad..loving the unlovable is true love..
That's what Jesus and Buddha taught their disciples as well, to love all people even when they don't deserve it.
Bert would make an excellent father, himself.
He already is don't you know his son, Barry?
Dick Van Dyck is a wonderful person
He did in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

@@makingchangery9267 Yes he certainly is

Mary Poppins got the ball rolling, giving Bert the opportunity to do what he did
Mary Poppins was the wrecking ball and Bert was the builder.
Makes sense too. It takes a human touch, which (far as we know) Bert’s human while Mary Poppins is practically perfect (and quite supernatural).
Not only that, Jane & Michael had a clearer understanding of what they did at the bank that made George so uneasy.
This has a whole new meaning after Saving Mr. Banks.
For sure!
Absolutely positive.😉👍
"Father..? In a cage?
"They makes cages of all sizes and shapes, you know."

Why?
Marta Botia Because both Walt Disney and P.L. Travers were thinking of the rough lives of their own fathers when they put this scene into the film.
Bert is so freaking great, man
This talk, along with Bert's talk with Mr. Banks later on, are the two most conversations of the film.
The part where Bert was asking on who looks after their Father gets to me now, coz I got troubles that I dont tell anyone about it
And he's right.
Same. I looked up this scene after watching Mary Poppins for the first time in years with my kids.
Sadly, there's a lot of attack on dads anymore. This movie speaks volumes to us today.
@@Mystefier Because too many people are still in the embittered teenage phase, that they forget/don't care that parents are flawed people too
The saddest part about this to me is how true it still is almost 60 years later. With all the awareness about mental health and changing gender roles, this is still accurate and I don't see it changing.

MICHAEL: He doesn’t like us at all.
BERT: Well, now, that doesn’t seem likely, does it? JANE: It’s true.
BERT: Let’s sit down. (They sit down in the stairs) Begging your pardon, but the one thing that my heart goes out to is your father. There he is in that cold and heartless bank day after day, hemmed in by mounds of cold, heartless money. I don’t like to see any living thing caged up.
JANE: Father in a cage?
BERT: They make cages in all sizes and shapes, you know. Bank-shaped, some of them, carpets and all.
JANE: Father’s not in trouble. We are.
BERT: Oh, sure about that, are you? (Jane and Michael nod) Look at it this way. You’ve got your mother to look after you, Mary Poppins, Constable Jones and me. Who looks after your father? Tell me that. When something terrible happens, what does he do? Fends for himself, he does. Who does he tell about it? No one! Don’t blab his troubles at home. He just pushes on at his job, uncomplaining, alone and silent.
MICHAEL: He isn’t very silent!
JANE: Michael, be quiet. Bert, do you think father really needs our help?
BERT: Well, it’s not my place to say. I only observe that a father can always do with a bit of help. Come on, I’ll take you home.
Bro the way she said "Micheal be quiet" is so funny to me 😂I think it's because she says it in a way it's funny 🤣 time stamp 2:03
If Mary Poppins is magic, I get the feeling Bert is magical as well, just uses his magic differently.
A part from the "I Love To Laugh" scene, I like this too because Bert's like a big brother/uncle/2nd father to Jane & Michael which is what makes this a heart-warming scene
That's actually not when Bert met Jane and Michael. Yes it was at the park but Mary Poppins was there and introduced them he was making the drawings on the sidewalk when he met them. Good scene through it was sad to hear how the kids felt their dad didn't love them Bert definitely helped them too. They already knew each other that's why Jane knew it was him
I just notice something could the Darlings in Peter Pan be descendants of this family. The father in Perter Pan was banker too.
Jon Champion was he really?
Marvin the Maniac yes, I believe Wendy’s dad is a banker.
Yes he was
Unlikely, seeing as how they both take place at the same time.
Good old Bert.
I'd argue he is more instrumental in bringing the family together than Mary if you include the 'A man has dreams' scene.
Mary Poppins introduces the idea that nobody understands from the outset and Bert helps everyone really understand what she meant by bringing the lesson down to earth and helping them relate to what they need to learn. They are a package deal and neither one could have succeeded in helping the Banks family without the other. Bert has no opportunities to interact meaningfully without the openings Mary Poppins provides.
Mary Poppins instigates situations that draw Mr Banks’ attention to his children and forces his hand into reprimanding her. This gives her an opening to trick him into the bank trip that was always going to end poorly. Feed the birds is an analogy for charity and seeing a need beyond the end of your nose. By planting this seed with the children she exposed it to their father who initially disregards it out of hand. Bert then can unpack the lesson with Mr Banks himself and not so gently remind Mr Banks what really matters in life and how askew his priorities have become. Mary Poppins’ efforts only lay the groundwork and can only take the lesson halfway; Bert brings the lesson home.
This was a very emotional scene.😢 This scene should make people think about their fathers and how lucky they are to have a father. ❤ After seeing Saving Mr. Banks and the scene where PL Travers burst into tears watching this scene on the big screen, I really began to think about my father and what a great guy he is 🥲🥲🥲🥲.
Children tells Bert that father hurts they’re feeling and cause in trouble.
The older I get the more I realise this isn’t a kids movie. It’s a great movie for kids, but it’s not a kids movie.
It’s for all ages
@@joewhitehead3 no it’s not
dis scene really shows how Mary Poppins wasn't there 2 save Jane and Michael she was really there 2 save George Banks as perfectly shown in Saving Mr. Banks.
Chim Chiminey Chim Chiminey Chim Chim Cheroo ...........
When your with a sweep you're right up the flu.....
No! Wait. Brush Up Your Shakespeare. Step In Time.
Send the police after us the army and everything lol sure he did
ChrisMac2489 but why aren't they seen chasing them?
Francis Coyle me not know
Francis Coyle Good question.
haha
“Who’s looking after your father? Tell me that.”
As a kid, I had no idea what Bert was talking about. When I became a breadwinner, that’s when my cogs started turning to this scene.
I got my aunt’s and uncle’s to look after me and my cousins too.
“It’s not the kids she comes to save.. it’s their father”
"be quiet" my forking ass. Michael's talking here.
The one point in the movie that Bert got a little serious and helped Jane and Michael see things from their dad's perspective.
Bert took Jane and Michael Banks home.
Recently had occasion to research the situation of chimney sweeps in the 19th century -- many of whom were very young boys. The romaticization of chimney sweeps ignores how dreadful and terribly dangerous the work was.
There was a short scene in 'Step In Time' where they showed two chimney sweeps dancing ON TOP of two chimney stacks. The camera pans back to Mary Poppins and her face is one of shock and astonishment. Dangerous, indeed.
Poor kids
2:15 Come along now, I’ll take you home.
Happy Father's Day
That’s some deep shit right there, like how all family men are kinda stuck in cages for their families
0:01 Bert: Here, here in a half of mo!
Michael: Leave her alone!
Leave my sister alone!
Bert: Take it easy!
Now your old best friend ain’t gonna hurt ya!
Thanks - I never got what he said at the beginning of the scene
0:42 don’t exaggerate 😂
Bert Was Kind to Them But He's Not their Daddy
Bert: easy now. 0:06- 0:20
❤❤ The Legendary Dick Van Dyke 😢🎉 gor to love him
I thought he was saying "Give me off a mouth".
Sometimes I cry like Ezra and talk at the same time.
Michael don't exaggerate
Who's constable Jones?
I think he’s the police officer that brought the children home at the beginning
@1:42 perfectly explains what it’s like to be a man in today’s society.
0:42 “Michael, Don’t exaggerated.”
I think, to make it a bit more trustworthy for kids when they run away, Bert could have hastily been like, before they would bump into him,: "Stop! It's me, Bert! You, me and Mary Poppins went in my drawings! Don't be afraid!". It's just I feel like children wouldn't want to do the same like here as they would run away if they mistook that guy for a stranger
Mary Poppins actually went to the Banks' house to make George act right
I hope they show something like this in the sequel
They don't.
2:00 Michael's right! George Banks isn't really silent! Way to go, Michael! Jane, that's rude to say Michael, be quiet really hurt my feelings and that's not fair or polite! Now get over it, Jane! Don't you dare! It would only make me worse! It's really quite serious!
Mary Poppins 1964 Version:
Jane: This has gone far enough, Michael!
Michael: I'm just telling you and Bert that our father is not very silent! Just leave me alone!
Jane: I can't do that! You have ignored me too much! You both have!
Michael: It doesn't have to be this way!
Jane: I have no choice! Times have changed! Telling you to be quiet isn't enough, anymore!
Michael: By telling me and anyone to be quiet without me telling the truth?! That's doesn't sound nice! The Constable or Mary Poppins will not appreciate it!
Jane: I don't care! I'll tell you to be quiet if you tell the truth too much! I'll silence anyone who gets in my way!
Michael: No!
The Constable: Jane!
Jane: Constable?
Bert: I don't know the rest of you, guys, but I spotted several big mistakes!
Jane: But how did you?!
Bert: Let's watch my favorite part, again, shall we? (plays broadcast with a recording tape)
Jane: I don't care! I'll tell you to be quiet if you tell the truth too much! (3x)
All people: (gasp)
Jane: No, no, everyone, I can explain! You see-
Constables: I'll get her! All right, come with us, young lady!
Mary Poppins: Yeah, Jane, you don't dare to do anything to Michael your brother!
Jane: What? What are you doing? Take your hands off of me! You can't arrest me! I hope you're happy, Michael! You destroyed all good manners! Now our father's bank is dead! Where can everyone have quiet now? Things you do would only get worse because of you!
Leave her alone poor Jane
Bert has Michael and Jane
I bet this message isn’t in the new version.
So sad. The children have to talk to his father to see what happened.
Man, Disney has fallen so far from this message. Everyone suffers, but since Mr Banks doesn't hit certain checkmarks his suffering isn't "valid".
Disney has fallen so far from everything. I can't even imagine what Walt or even Roy Disney would think if they could see it now. But I will say since the mid 2000s. It just hasn't been what it was when we were growing up.
Who’s here from Jessii vees video? Nobody? Alright
It's Bert only
Bert: Who does even in charge of him
to tell anyone off to think about it over on ya?
The answer is: No-one! Don’t blip to blab over his troubles with you at home at all. 1:42
The line isn't like this but well, it's understandable.
no sound
Michael be quiet.
Happy birthday Dick Van Dyke🎉
Disney 1964 Classic
Is this guy meant to be Australian or Scottish?
He's meant to be a Cockney from London.
@@MsAussie83 well I was born and raised in London and I've honestly never heard anyone make a worse attempt at the accent
