The author wasn’t exactly happy
And the film changed quite a few things – including Mary Poppins’ signature look. Apparently she was supposed to have a turned-up nose and black hair – so basically, more like the portrayal of Nanny McPhee.
6. The author hated the film
Isn’t it a terrible shame when this happens? But yes, it’s true. P. L. Travers hated the film, and stated years later:

“I cried when I saw it. I said, ‘Oh, God, what have they done?'”
Apparently, she disliked the animation, the songs, and Andrews’ prettiness. She also disliked the changes made by the studio.
