    'Danny McPhee' could work as a remake of Nanny McPhee, but starring Danny McBride. I could not remember what his name was until I finally got a chance to look it up. "Danny McPhee" was one of the names that kept popping into my head during that time, so enjoy that thought...

    I <3 Emma Thompson. Brilliant in 'Good Luck To You, Leo Grande' and 'Sense and Sensibility' but - and I'm willing to fight you here - 'Nanny McPhee and The Big Bang' with Maggie Gyllenhaal is her most enjoyable movie. I fucking love that film. I cried like a baby.

    Nanny McPhee is one of my favourite children's films of the past 20 years, and EMMA THOMPSON writing the musical (having written and starred in the film) bodes very well. V hopeful that this will outclass the dreadful Paddington musical, which was bewilderingly soulless. nannymcpheethemusical.com

    Welcome. Often pick it up & open to a random page. Did that the other day & the word was collywobbles. In the movie, Nanny McPhee Returns, she uses that word when she speaks to Mr. Edelweiss (the bird), telling him he gets the collywobbles when he eats too much putty. Only time I've heard it. ☺️

    It was a lil inspired by the second Nanny McPhee movie. City boy sent to the farm. I think we changed it from war reasons to Vox running from his cult, lying on his resume to get a job as Alastor's farm hand in the middle of nowhere.

    Seconding Nanny McPhee. Although maybe not the second one, considering Uncle Phil and all of that. That [initial scene in the first film](https://youtu.be/RUKc3NxdW3w?t=275) where she meets the children is probably my favourite. There's something incredibly satisfying about the sound design.

    Made with passion and humour, #ISwear is a heart-warming film, reminding us just how much empathy is needed in society. Kirk Jones, the director of Nanny McPhee, also highlights the importance of mutual support within a community. As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
