☆ ‘Mary Poppins’ Gets New Age Rating in Britain for Racist Language
  + stars: | 2024-02-27 | by ( Derrick Bryson Taylor | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
“Mary Poppins” includes two uses of an offensive racial slur to describe an Indigenous group in South Africa. It is first heard when Admiral Boom asks Michael, a child, if he is going on an adventure to defeat said group. Admiral Boom repeats the slur during a chimney sweeps dance sequence when he shouts that he is being attacked. The film was originally rated “U,” for Universal, upon its release in 1964, and again in 2013 for a theatrical release, the B.B.F.C. When it was resubmitted in February for another theatrical release, it was reclassified as PG.

☆ ‘Mary Poppins’ gets a new age rating over discriminatory language
  + stars: | 2024-02-27 | by ( Harmeet Kaur | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —A British film industry group has raised the age rating for the beloved children’s classic “Mary Poppins” over discriminatory language. “Mary Poppins (1964) includes two uses of the discriminatory term ‘hottentots,’” a BBFC spokesperson said in a statement to CNN. Even as “Mary Poppins” remains a treasured part of the cultural canon, the film has been criticized for trafficking in blackface. It’s partly in this context that the discriminatory language referenced by BBFC appears in the film. In recent years, the movie industry has grappled with how to handle racist or offensive content in classic films.
