If you loved Mary Poppins, try Bedknobs and Broomsticks

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Bedknobs and Broomsticks has roughly 4.9× fewer votes than Mary Poppins — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Robert Stevenson, and they sit in Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mary Poppins, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Bedknobs and Broomsticks is

English countryside, wartime, a rusty bicycle. Three evacuated children face an eccentric spinster, her spells and potions. It is a gentle fantasy that pairs well with a lazy Sunday morning.
