New sound effects in "Mary Poppins!"

Some of you may not have noticed, but when Disney released one of their greatest classics "Mary Poppins" to DVD in 2004, as part of their updated "Enhanced Home Theater Mix" edition, they went and redid many of the movie's sound effects! It was a lot like when they redubbed the old Gumby shorts in 1988 with new music and voices, but "Mary Poppins" did NOT deserve this treatment whatsoever! (The 2004 DVD also includes the original soundtrack as an audio option, thankfully.)

Even though I used a German dub of the film, the English version from 2004 also included these new sound effects as well, along with ABC Family's airings of the movie.

I don't agree with the last one

Also I kinda like the new sound-effects they add to the movie

True, they aren't in the original cut but it shows Disney is not afraid to re-do the film's score

@TaleSpinTV1990 All right... then compare it to the Gumby episodes when they were redubbed in 1988, and tell me what you think of those redubs.

The new sound effects and music make it sound more like the film was made in 2004 instead of 1964.

@doughnutser256 Meaning it's a good thing

@systemoperator In the previous DVD version they altered the soundtrack in some parts. Your version has the original soundtrack but restored

[doughnutser256]

Well at least they restored the original soundtrack in the 45th anniversary edition

@mightyfilm: LOL...probably when the sidewalk paintings start melting, the *kids* will be the ones to "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" together in the 50th anniversary remake.

@jedidarrick There used to be a naked chick in The Rescuers.

And in the next special edition, a new scene where Mary Poppings screams "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" will be added because ti was totally meant to be there in the first place.
