A magical nanny

A magical nanny - bang on fall in a new adventure (original title: Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang ) is a family film by Susanna White from 2010 with Emma Thompson as Nanny McPhee. Thompson based the script she wrote loosely on the stories from the Nurse Matilda books by Christianna Brand , but in free adaptation and not based on the stories at hand, as for the 2005 film A Magical Nanny . This film is not a continuation of the story from that time, apart from the fact that Nanny McPhee again comes to the aid of a family whose children are almost impossible to tame. The role of the overwhelmed mother is cast by Maggie Gyllenhaal .

action

At the time of the Second World War , the children Norman, Megsie and Vincent Green lived with their mother on a farm in England, while their father was drafted as a soldier. They are joined by their cousin Cyril and Celia Gray, two spoiled children who have to evacuate from the city and are quartered with them. There are always arguments between the children, especially since Cyril and Celia feel superior to the Green children in every respect.

One evening the doorbell rings and Nanny McPhee informs the surprised Mrs. Green that she has been assigned to the family by the army as a nanny and that it does not cost her a cent. First of all, she tells the children: "If you need me but don't want, then I have to stay, but if you want me but no longer need me, then I have to go." She succeeds with discipline and magic to change the behavior of children little by little for the better, which has a positive effect on the entire family life. But also for the nanny, every improvement in the children's behavior has a positive effect, because in turn she gradually transforms from an unsightly older, flawed witch-like teacher into a very pretty woman in the end.

Half of the farm on which the children live with their mother belongs to the Greens and the other half to their common brother-in-law Phil. He has gambling debts and therefore wants to sell the farm and works with all sorts of nasty tricks to get his sister-in-law to close to sell. First he releases the pigs, which would have resulted in a severe financial loss if Nanny McPhee had not intervened and located the animals together with the children and brought them back. The Greens need the money from the sale of pigs to buy a tractor, without which no harvest can be brought in. Next, the family receives a forged telegram from the War Department telling them that Mr. Green was killed in the war. Norman senses that his father is still alive and goes to London with Nanny McPhee and his cousin Cyril, where he finds out that his father has only been reported missing. It also turns out that there was never a telegram from the War Department. Meanwhile, Norman's siblings, together with Celia, are trying everything to get their mother to postpone the signing of the purchase contract that Phil forced upon her. Desperate, Megsie turns to Nanny McPhee at the last moment, who can also let her magic work from a distance.

At the same time, a bomb mistakenly lands in the family's cornfield and a local security officer tries to convey to the greens that the enemy is not targeting the rural population, but that a pilot could make a mistake and have mistakenly pressed the button, causing a bomb to be dropped Had a consequence. Fortunately, the bullet does not explode. Nanny McPhee and the children manage to defuse the dud. And not only that, as if by magic, the grain is brought in and the harvest secured. It is now time for Nanny McPhee to leave the family with Mr. Edelweiss, a jackdaw with whom she appeared this time, because she is no longer needed. But one consolation remains for Mrs. Green and the children, at the same time Mr. Green returns safely from the war, only with an arm injury.

Production, publication

The original plan for 2009 was that Emma Thompson would play Professor Sibyll Trelawney in the Harry Potter films Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts 1 and 2 . The schedule for both projects overlapped and Thompson had to decide which role to play. She chose the role of Nanny McPhee, so the role in the Harry Potter film had to be revised. In 2010, Thompson confirmed that she had already shot parts of her role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows after A Magical Nanny was turned into a new adventure .

The film opened in German cinemas on April 1, 2010, in Austria on April 2, 2010, and in Switzerland on April 7, 2010. It was launched in Great Britain on March 26, 2010, and premiered on March 24, 2010 in Amsterdam. In the USA he was seen from August 20, 2010 under the title Nanny McPhee Returns . The film was shown in around 90 countries around the world, mostly in cinemas, and partly released on DVD only with the respective audio track.

A magical nanny - bang on fall in a new adventure was released on August 5th, 2010 with a German soundtrack on DVD, published by Universal Pictures Germany GmbH.

Background, music

As in the 2005 film, Nanny McPhee is teaching the children five lessons again. However, these are not the same as in the first part. The following lessons are part of her educational work and cause the following developments at Nanny McPhee:

  1. Avoid Fighting - The wart over Nanny McPhee's lip will go away.
  2. Be generous and share - the wart on the nanny's chin disappears completely.
  3. Helping Each Other - The nanny's eyebrows no longer grew together.
  4. Be brave if necessary - the nanny's hair color changes from gray to brown.
  5. Build trust and have in others - The nanny's disfiguring buck tooth disappears and you look into the face of a pretty woman.
Battersea Power Station , which in the film hovers a pink pig

In the scene in which Nanny McPhee drives the boys to London on a motorcycle to prove that Father Rory is still alive, they are seen driving past Battersea Power Station . Well embedded in a large number of barrier balloons , an inflatable pig floats between the chimneys of the power plant, as is known from the cover of the album Animals by the band Pink Floyd .

A connection to the first film is made in that it is revealed that the forgetful Mrs. Docherty, who is standing in the field at the end of the film, is the baby Agatha Rose Brown (Aggie) from the first film because she is holding up the rattle that Nanny McPhee had repaired for her at the time.

In her three books on the "Nurse Matilda", Christianna Brand exclusively deals with the history of the Brown family. Nurse Matilda returns to the family's children several times, as they keep falling back into old behavior patterns after they leave.

Reviews

“With trace elements from Mary Poppins and Piggy Babe , this sequel also shows harmless threat elements and easily achievable conflict resolution. This is child-friendly, but the emphasis on harmony neglects humor a little. Situationally comical, the film lags behind the possibilities that she loves the target group and, for example, has shown Gore Verbinski's mouse hunt . "

- Kino.de

“Despite the charming, funny and catchy staging, which can even put a smile on the face of the accompanying legal guardian, the film drifts extremely naive towards the end [...] The bottom line is that a magical nanny is capable of a new adventure but to please; especially if you can overlook a few outrageous fantasy elements towards the finale. "

- Moviemaze

The Rheinische Post wrote in its review of the film: “This is how this basically predictable story, which is nothing more than a remake, lives on, especially from its sometimes funny slapstick scenes, the lovingly arranged equipment and the cast, which is distinctive down to the smallest supporting role. Above all Emma Thompson, who visibly rises in the role of the scratchy but creepy bogeyman who does not let himself be disturbed. But the rest of the cast also offers solid acting skills, from Maggie Smith as an elderly shopkeeper to Ralph Fiennes as an opinionated lord to Ewan McGregor as an apparently lost father. The set and costume design was also successful, indulging in nostalgic charm and sometimes looking so antiquated, as if you were sitting in a Dickens film. "

Cinema drew the conclusion that the film was "great fun for big children and adults" and "just as crazy" as the previous film. It was also said, “fortunately”, that the story “consists of the same wonderful ingredients” as in the previous film: “weird characters, hysterical slapstick and an insane plot that is not necessarily suitable for small viewers”.

Sebastian Kröschel also drew a very positive conclusion for Geolino : “Nanny McPhee is magical. That doesn't necessarily apply to her appearance - it does apply to 'A magical nanny - pop into a new adventure'. Child-friendly humor, a little upbringing, a lot of imagination and lots of fun are the recipe for this entertaining family fairy tale. And not only the little ones like it! "

Award

  • The German Film and Media Assessment (FBW) awarded the film the title “Particularly valuable”. There it was stated in the reason at the end: "Last but not least, a magical nanny is a delicious model of original British entertainment, is crazy and blatant at the same time and happily avoids overly fashionable frills."
