captain_slinkyToday's search inspired by the fact that we are going to a book signing today where we get to meet Julie Andrews :) I tried many searches before going with this one, including "Julie Andrews" (4 pages of head shots), "Mary Poppins" (6 pages of just Mary Poppins, no other characters), "NOT Mary Poppins" (same results as "Mary Poppins) and "Julie" (you have no idea how many Julies there are on the Internet). And so I finally ended up with "Julie Andrews Character" and got...
Vs.
From Yahoo Images, we get MARY POPPINS, the magical turn-of-the-century Nanny who may very well be a TIMELORD (Her carpet bag is bigger on the inside just like a TARDIS, Bert is obviously her companion, "I wear a hat with cherries and daisies now... Cherry-and-daisy-hats are *cooool*"... think about it).
And from Google we have THE FAIRY GODMOTHER, the ruthless corporate figurehead of an oppressive magic conglomerate in the land of Far Far Away who will crush ANYONE who gets in the way of her plans (Ogres, Donkeys and Cats being her only weak spot).
THIS ONE IS DIFFICULT!!!
THE SCENARIO: Mary Poppins answers a very sweetly rhyming want-ad for a "Nanny Needed" in the kingdom of Far Far Away, only to find that it was an elaborate trap set by Fairy Godmother LLC in an attempt to capture and harness the seemingly limitless power of Mary Poppins' magic. Mary of course simply walks right out of the trap making look as if it were the easiest thing ever, which infuriates the Fairy Godmother and inspires her to take on this project *personally*. Meanwhile, Mary Poppins - unwilling to put up with a single moment more of this foolishness - prepares to leave town on her umbrella when something catches her Poppins-sense; Shrek's children. Hilarity ensues as Mary Poppins tries to deal with a trio of Ogre Toddlers. When The Fairy Godmother comes to try and "Take Down" Mary Poppins, she is completely unprepared for the combines might of the entire Shrekverse (again) and is ultimately defeated by Mary Poppins and a gaggle of baby-ized Shrek characters. As Mary leaves town on her umbrella, she looks back and knows this has been a job well done, with everyone having learned valuable lessons about the true menaing of "Family".
WINNER: MARY POPPINS

Date: 2012-04-30 07:10 am (UTC)The Fairy Godmother clearly cast a spell over the search engines in order to get attention. You should have used a spell checker. You see, Julie Andrews did not play the Fairy Godmother. That part was played by Jennifer Saunders, most known for Absolutely Fabulous.
Andrews played Queen Lillian the sort of understanding queen and mother of Princess Fiona. More of a good gal really.
