In the United Kingdom, the film “Mary Poppins” is no longer classified as “general audiences” The British Board of Film Classifications (BBCF) now recommends that children should not view this 1960s classic without adult supervision. The BBCF explains that it has a duty to evolve with current societal standards, and that such a scene would not be produced as is today.

Released in 1964, Robert Stevenson's film is adapted from the eponymous novel by Pamela L. Travers, a novelist from the beginning of the last century.
