DICK VAN DYKE ONE MAN BAND FULL

His appearance is the epitome of ageless Disney magic, and how full circle classics can really take you. He tap dances, and takes center stage at 91 years old. Van Dyke has since appeared at the Disneyland 60th anniversary special, joining Derek Hough and others in performing a tribute to “Step in Time”. Van Dyke’s smile, laugh, and overwhelming amount of energy in this song is what makes it magic. One of Bert’s most well known, iconic, entirely irreplaceable moments in Disney history is when he performs “Step in Time”, with his fellow chimney sweeps. He compliments Mary over and over, and even she seems smitten by him. There is a warmth in his speaking, singing and dancing. He acts as a main role and as a narrator developing the story and magic of Mary Poppins around us.

He also teases his reoccurring song throughout the movie to transition scene to scene, “Chim Chim Cheree”. He foreshadows Mary’s entrance by performing the instrumental to “Jolly Holiday”.

They also may remember her friend, the chimney sweep, Bert. She is one of the most notable and iconic characters from Disney of all time – some people may not know the full story, but they definitely know about the magical nanny with the umbrella.
