The opening scene of Mary Poppins features Mr. Banks discovering that Michael and Jane have run away - which excuse do they later give him?
Answer They were chasing a broken kite
The broken kite symbolizes the Banks family's own brokenness; when Mr. Banks becomes more attentive to the family near the end of the film, the kite has been repaired.
