Because Fridays are always better with a Happy Dance!
Or … maybe … because my previous post on Animated Storytelling is the perfect excuse set up for posting a dance sequence that ALWAYS makes me laugh ... The dancing penguins sequence from Walt Disney’s “Mary Poppins”!
I especially love the penguin who toboggans off-screen, and then – try as he might – can never get back in sync with the group. I think that’s because I frequently feel like I’ve gone barreling off the map and am forever out of step with everyone else!

Ah, what’s not to love about Mary Poppins, right? Another great scene in one of my favorite movies.
Even after hundreds of viewings, When Harry Met Sally never fails to make me laugh. It’s a classic in my book.
Me too! I’m embarrassed to admit how many times I saw Harry Met Sally in the movie theaters (not to mention the times I’ve watched it on DVD), and I laugh every time. The dialog is fabulous, as are the characters and scenes. Truly terrific screenwriting, character development, and storytelling.
I love Mary Poppins! And the trip into the land of the carousel has always been my favorite part. Dick van Dyke is such a talented actor/dancer 🙂
Secretly, my favorite movies are the ones that make me both laugh and cry. Beauty and the Beast remains a perennial favorite…
Beauty and the Beast is WONDERFUL! No need to keep that fave a secret! There are so many wonderful moments in that movie. Priceless.
You know, I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen Mary Poppins all the way through. If I have, it’s definitely been many, many years.
That scene isn’t the least bit arctic. Are those mythical forest penguins or something? 🙂
They’re all in a chalk painting (you have to see the movie to believe that one), so yeah … they’re chalktic mythical penguins. 😉
Oh, okay…that makes more sense 🙂
Oh, that is such a great movie.. My little guy is almost old enough for it, too!
