Who is Uncle Albert?
Uncle Albert is a whimsical and eccentric character from Disney’s Mary Poppins (1964), a film based on the book series by P.L. Travers. He is known for his infectious laughter, which leads to one of the movie’s most memorable scenes.
Uncle Albert is afflicted with a peculiar condition: whenever he laughs uncontrollably, he begins to float in the air. This unique trait is prominently showcased during the “I Love to Laugh” sequence, where Mary Poppins, Bert, and the Banks children visit his home. As they share jokes and laughter, everyone ends up floating to the ceiling, unable to come down until the mood shifts. The scene captures the film’s magical charm and highlights the power of joy and imagination.
Uncle Albert is portrayed by the legendary comedic actor Ed Wynn, whose distinct voice and mannerisms bring the character to life. Wynn was a renowned vaudevillian and early television pioneer, known for his roles in both comedic and dramatic performances.
