Why was Mary Poppins the most complained about film from last year?
Disney classic Mary Poppins has become one of the most controversial films of 2024 due to its use of 'discriminatory wording'. The 1964 musical stars Julie Andrews as Mary alongside Dick Van Dyke as Bert, the chimney sweep. The childhood favourite was previously rated U (Universal) by the British Board of Film Classification but has since been reclassified as PG (Parental Guidance), now rejecting the idea that it is suitable for all audiences. Disney classic Mary Poppins has become one of the most controversial films of 2024 due to its use of discriminatory wording. Pic:The BBFC Annual Report and Accounts 2024 revealed that the reclassification was a point of anger for many with 56 complaints issued to them in 2024. The BBFC explained that the movie was re-classified ahead of a cinema re-release in 2024 for the film's 60th anniversary. 'In line with our current guidelines, the film exceeds the U category for language with use of the discriminatory term 'hottentots,'' they stated. The 1964 musical stars Julie Andrews as Mary alongside Dick Van Dyke as Bert, the chimney sweep. Pic: Disney The word is a derogatory term for an indigenous group of people from southern Africa, also known as the Khoikhoi. There are two uses of the word in Mary Poppins, one of which sees Admiral Boom (played by Reginald Owen) using the term to describe the chimney sweeps. The BBFC explained: 'While the film has historical contest, the two uses of the discriminatory term are neither criticised or condemned, increasing the risk that very young viewers might repeat it without realising the potential for offence.' Ten complaints were sent to the organisation about Barry Keoghan's Saltburn. Pic: Amazon Prime Video The report added that regular research confirms that a 'key concern' for parents is the possibility for children to be exposed to discriminatory language or behaviour. Mary Poppins was the most complained about with a total of 224 complaints regarding BBFC classifications in 2024. Ten complaints were sent to the organisation about Barry Keoghan's Saltburn. The movie is rated 15 with complaints coming in noting that the film's depiction of sexual obsession was 'too disturbing' for 15. BBFC responded: 'Given the blackly comic tone of the film and that the key scenes, while strong, lacked graphic nudity and other visual explicitness, Saltburn meets our strandards at a 15 classification.'

WATCH: Avatar Fire and Ash drops first-look trailer
James Cameron is bringing cinephiles back to Pandora as the third instalment of his Avatar franchise, Fire and Ash, has released its first trailer. The latest Avatar film follows the next chapter of the Na'vi's journey, with Zoe Saldana's Neytiri and Sam Worthington's Jake Sully meeting new tribes as they escape from the invading humans. Avatar: Fire And Ash also stars Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Cliff Curtis, Britain Dalton, Trinity Bliss, Jack Champion, Bailey Bass and Kate Winslet with the screenplay being written by director Cameron, as well as Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. A sene from 20th Century Studios' Avatar: Fire and Ash Pic: 20th Century Studios The trailer sees the Sully family dealing with the aftermath of the second instalment, The Way of Water, with Jake turning to his wife and telling her that she 'cannot live like this, baby, in hate'. Previously released concept art introduced Avatar fans to the Ash Clan, and their leader Varang, and the Wind Traders who corral gigantic Pandoran creatures to soar among the clouds. Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) in 20th Century Studios' Avatar: Fire and Ash Pic: 20th Century Studios Teasing the fearsome figurehead of the Ash Clan, Cameron shared how the group have gone through an immense amount of hardship, and hence, Varang will do anything for them, good or bad. In fact, the team went as far as not making the decisions made in Avatar Fire and Ash 'black and white simplistic' and evolve beyond the narrative that the humans on the planet are all bad and that 'all Na'vi' are good. A scene from 20th Century Studios' Avatar: Fire and Ash Pic: 20th Century Studios As for Avatar Fire and Ash's Wind Traders, Cameron told Empire Magazine: 'They're nomadic traders, equivalent to the camel caravans of the Spice Road back in the Middle Ages. And you know, they're just fun. 'Like all Na'vi, they live in a symbiosis with their creatures. If you've got any nautical blood in your veins, you'll want to be on [their] ship.'
