Same. The American folk singing in the middle of Medieval England put me off as a kid. I'm older now, and I get cultural reinterpretation.

As a kid I couldn't get past the factual inaccuracies - for an animated movie about mythical talking animals.

NA

....that was American folk singing? I didn't know!
(Though to be fair I grew up with the dubbed version)

Yeah I get what they were going for now and playing it as a Western actually makes a lot of sense but as a kid there were jokes I didn't get on account of being British and that pissed me off. It's a British folk tale, adaptations of it shouldn't alienate British kids, bah.

[inevitableentresol]

The same for 102 Dalmations, with raccoons in the middle of the British countryside.

I got way more annoyed with that than I should, considering I was an adult by then. Did Disney honestly not realise even children know that's stupid? It's the lowest common denominator approach that offends.

[kathkin]

They also had American robins in Mary Poppins. Which when I was a kid I took for a really badly made fake robin.

(American Robin vs European Robin, just for reference. European ones are objectively cuter, c'mon.)

[inevitableentresol]

American and European robins also have different coloured eggs. American: bright blue, European: speckled pale buff/very pale blue.

I'll give the American robins props for prettier eggs. But UK robins are definitely cutest.

Mary Poppins was a smorgasbord of mistaken cultural references, like Dick van Dykes cock-er-nee accent.
