Spontaneous musical numbers are all but dead these days, you see them every now and then, for example, Enchanted parodies them, and 500 Days of Summer has a short one, but they're not anywhere near as frequent, or well done.
@TGHibiki Well, you could look as that as part of his character. He is a con man after all, being an outstanding gentlechap is part of the gig I suppose
@RepIayMediaCatcher You're right actually and in fact it sounds more like Tim Curry to me, and I noticed it earlier when they were back in Professor Browne's home. And I'm almost dead certain that it was Tim Curry's voice or I'm werewolf.
the dancing starting at 0:30 with the two women reminds me so much of my two aunts. they look like them in the film, and the way they do the dance and how they talk is exactly what they would do in real life :D i even pointed it out to them when we watched it and they agreed very much :D
ahahahaa when that dude holds a knife and says the bookseller wants to see her,,,and then again when she sees the bookseller and that guy has the knife again WHY DOESNT SHE JUST TURN HIM INTO A RABBIT??????????? my whole life seeing this movie I've wondered this...LOL
@masburnout The reason for the dubbing, is because they found some extra scenes for the special edition but unfortunatly these scenes were without audio and they couldn't get the original actors to dub the scenes because this was many years after. The kids would be grown ups and unfortunatly David Tomlinson past away. The terrible dubbings are ADR dubs.
@TheEd500 ADR stands for automatic dialogue replacement, i believe it means replacing the voice etc of the original voice. Most dubbing is when you want to translate voices in another language (English dubbed version, this happens alot in anime) But adr means you want to replace the origianl.....Sorry I'm not very good at explaining, try looking it up on the internet it'll explain it better than me.
@TheEd500 unfortunately when they were piecing the film back together they had in some cases just the film and not the audio so it had to be dubbed with only two of the original cast, Angella Landsbury and Roddy McDowell. David Tomlinson was still alive when they were doing this but was in ill health and couldn't make the dubs. Personally if I were in charge of it I would have left the sections that have to be dubbed out except if the music could cover the gap.
It's an amazing thing how for a short moment that the whole nice and cheerful atmosphere of Portobelo Rd. shifts to that dismal, empty and sorrowful place we don't was to go to.
@JillHill7 Yes and no, it was in Chicken Run but it was actually an actual saying used by British and French soldiers before Normandy. All these American GIs were flooding the pubs and such looking for girls on furlows while preparing for D-Day, it didn't help that Americans were paid more than British so... Overpaid, oversexed, and over here!
Actually the Digital Remastering and re-added scenes were done back in ole' 97 on laserdisc, back when that sort of thing was new. So forgive them if it seems a bit hacked and be glad they didn't replace the Nazi's guns with walkie talkies.
This movie is awesome!!! I might watch it again later tonight while I play world of warcraft woot thank you so much for uploading this i subscribed to you ^_^
I love the dancing part in this film. If only everyone could get on like this in real life. I especially like fact it's all different cultures. Such a great film. Thanks so much for uploading!
the missing lines are from footage that was cut from the original release and added back to the film for a special edition of the DVD. unfortunatly they were damaged and needed to be restored, including dubbing some of the actors lines back. That's what I meant.
Amen, Disney never learns, They did that with Beauty & the Beast. Also the Lion King. It was weird and annoying. But of course they get the money for their special edition, re-release and director's cut versions. What do they care?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
angela lansberry is ganna be to old and dried up by the time this musical number is up.they might wanna pick up some ky before they go to see the lion king
@mitchell6206 Not to defend CGI, or respond to a comment so long ago, but... No imagination in CGI? lol who do you think is controlling the computer? Things may be a bit too smooth these days, but just because they use a computer instead of pen or film, doesn't mean the imagination behind the tools has left.
@mitchell6206 While I agree that most of the stuff forced onto children these days is absolute crap, I think CGI can be presented in a very imaginative way. Pixar, anyone? However, for the most part, I unfortunately agree.
I always loved portobello road song/dance sequence... and have never seen this whole thing. But I can understand why they cut some of it, it did get really long after a while. Never the less I still love it.
It's a rare occasion to see Brucie not use a catchphrase.
I mean he said, "He wants to see you" without even a bat of the eyelid.
Time and a place, eh?
This was a great find. I love this movie but only found out today the great Bruce Forsyth was in it! Both a fitting and yet unfitting character for him if you catch my meaning.
When the dubbing comes on for David Tomlinson, it's really hard for my brain to make believe he's speaking those lines. When the line was said about the cobra at 5:50, I was all confused!
i love the multicultural thing going on, but i also find it funny how so many different cultures are just chillin out on portobello road in london...lol
I would like to see this movie turned into a Broadway production. It has good potential to do well like the other Disney Broadway shows. But that's just me.
I don't know why once Swinburn threatened them with the knife they didn't get on the bed and disappear. It's like Miss Price said "What right does he got to order me about?"
