I'm not even a fan of the original 1964 musical (found it annoying as a kid), but I'm curious about the Dick van Dyke cameo because its only the second time in film history where I've seen "actor reprises a role he played decades earlier but looks exactly the same as he did in the original movie".

The first time was Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine in Return of the Jedi (1983) and Revenge of the Sith (2005).
