Mary Poppins would agree: this film really does need parental guidance
Quick Glance: New Age Rating for Mary Poppins Due to Discriminatory Language
  • Almost six decades after its initial release, Mary Poppins has been upgraded by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) from U to PG.

  • The parental guidance recommendation was based on the presence of discriminatory language.

  • The term 'Hottentot', an offensive label for the Khoikhoi, led to this reclassification.

  • This adjustment only impacts the theatrical version, with home entertainment formats maintaining a U rating.
