What was unusual about the film Mary Poppins?
First of all, it combined live action with trick photography and cartoons- someting worthy of the Disney studios. It was set in the past in a real country- somewhat oddly actress Julie Andrews starred in this- and also the Film ( not stage) version of the Sound of Music, which was clearly too political-religious for the Moustro. There were other Disney films set in foreign countries- Emil and the Detectives, for example but Poppins popped-off in a positive manner! It was a musical comedy- not really a Disney forte. P.S I did not like it and thought it had , of all things, communistic overtones- Mary and Bert being pro-lower classes and anti-Banks and defence, or so I got the drift.

The Penguin, played by the late Burgess Meredith, was a somewhat comic villain in the Tv version of (Batman).

The joke about a man with a wooden leg named Smith in Mary Poppins is a play on words known as a pun.

In Walt Disney's Mary Poppins (1964) the reference to a robin's nest is found in the song "Spoonful of Sugar".
A robin feathering his nest

He knows a song will move the job along
What is a Hamadryad in the Mary Poppins book?
It"s a species of Baboon- a proper term. By the way the love-interest jack of all trades character Bert ( do not confuse with Uncle Albert- two different characters) does NOT appear in the Travers novels. He was added by Disney as a love interest and Jack-Of-All-Trades, including chimney sweep- a sneeze away from a garbageman. Mary and Bert both seem to be rather on the leftist side.
In Chapter 2 of the P.L. Travers, Mary Poppins book I hold in my hand Mary on her Day Out meets Bert "the Match-Man" and steps nicely into one of his drawings for a lovely day together.
Also Hamadryad shed its scaly snake skin as a gift to Mary. So, at least in MP the Hamadryad appears to be a snake.
