What was the conversation between the horse and the fox in Mary Poppins?

This must be something in the cartoon segment of the film which was immaterial to the plot. there was a Disney animal cartoon- full length- the Fox and the Hound- with a racial tolerance in the animal kingdom plot implication. I do not know about Horses and foxes in Mary Poppins there is a scene with a magically animated Merry Go Round that turns into a real live Horse Race, with Mary jockeying for position. That is not the same thing. these were cartoon segments adding little or nothing to the plot.

How does Mary Poppins' carpet bag work on Broadway?

The bag sits on a table that appears to have one leg in the front and a beaded toy in the back. In actuality, the front leg covers the seams of two mirrors under the table, set at a 45 degree angle to reflect the toy that is off to the side. This creates a space underneath the table behind the mirrors where things can be hidden and not seen by the audience. A trap door in the bottom of the bag/top of the table allows things to be passed up from that space through the bag.

When does the book Mary Poppins take place?

l964 it was filmed, it may have been released as late as l965. I can recall seeing it at the State Theater (In Jersey City) in that year. somewhat oddly programs which were essentially edited-down playbooks were sold in the theatre lobby, this is rare with movies but then that was a Disney production. I didn"t like it. I didn"t like the stage version- wouldn"t waste time ont he film of (The Sound of Music) either. One too sweet-talked and the other too phoney. on the second film,nobody in their right mind is bouncy-wouncy or Happy-Go-Luciky about a dog bite! It hurts!=and if from a pet involves a major breach of trust, this is heavy stuff not laugh it off type of mishap like maybe falling in soft snow- quite timely!

Why are umbrellas mostly black in color?

It's just because black colour has an advanced ability to absorb heat radiations much better and faster than any other colour. Then you might ask why does then we use it at sunshine to prevent body from heat. No surprise to your question it's because at the same time black is able to liberate back the absorbed heat at a faster rate. If you doubts this then you doubt about one more thing that why does most of the umbrellas are made silverish inside it. The answer to this is that black expells heat in all directions so in order to prevent heat entering inside the umbrella it is painted silverish inside as silver acts as a mirror, so it just reflects the heat back out to the umbrella. So we finds much cool inside with a silver coated umbrella than a black one.
