Seen them before, but they're always funny.
Goes to show how much music affects our perception of a picture.

You know, why do they have to take good children's movies/characters and ruin them? I love the cute MP's that was such a wholesome movie for little kids to watch - can't imagine them making her scary - but seen the previews and it made me cringe that kids will be watching this!

Same for the Muppet movie that is more like Texas Chainsaw with blood/killing. Why ruin the cute Muppets?????

Those are great


I had seen the Shinning one before, but the Mary Poppins is new to me.
There used to be one out there for the movie Seven, making it look like a romantic comedy. I wish I could find it again... Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman made such a cute couple

I haven't seen them before!!! They were brilliant. Sounds stupid, but I've never seen Mary Poppins, but that trailer would make me actually want to see it!!

I was never a Mary Poppins fan but that Shining trailer has made me want to see it again! That film scared the bejesus out of me when I was younger

I don't think it ruined Mary Poppins or the Muppets at all. Any kid that is old enough to be watching videos on YouTube is old enough to either know what Mary Poppins and Muppets really are and not to take it seriously - or at least old enough to read that it's a spoof and not to be scared of that sort of trailer!

It's just a bit of fun
