This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Brilliant and touching

A Masterpiece!

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

This is one of my childhood favorites. I couldn't handle many long movies but 139 minutes of this was perfect for me! I have so many memories with this movie. Learned to pronounce the above word, wetting my pants once and having to take out the tape as punishment, ripping the cover off for no reason, learning that the mother says "stupid" in her song, and much more. Even at age 19 I still love it! Do not deprive your kids of this excellent classic! If they are not into live action yet then wait a couple years, but there is some animation in the chalk drawing scene.

MARY POPPINS is one of those films that I grew up watching as a kid and have retained a fondness for in adulthood. I typically dislike Disney productions with their twee sentimentality and kiddie sensibility, but this film is so colourful, so vibrant, so energetic, that you can't help but love it. I'm no fan of Julie Andrews and indifferent to her supposedly warm presence here, but the great Dick Van Dyke is a real scene-stealer and involved in all of my favourite moments in the movie. The songs are fantastic too, and there's never too long to wait before the next. Add in plenty of spectacular and undated special effects and you have the cinematic equivalent of drinking a cup of warm cocoa in front of a roaring fire.

MARY POPPINS is a fantasy music comedy about a magical nanny who helps a distracted family in London. The screenplay is loosely based on P. L. Travers' book series "Mary Poppins".A family drama is enhanced with an audio-visual magic and explosion of colors. The film, which combines live-action and animation, simply, brings warmth to the hearts of people. Some very serious issues are being represented through comic songs and nimble dance. Mary Poppins comes sailing in on an east wind in order to help lively children in the Banks family. She is a certain kind of authority, which will save their dysfunctional family in an extremely miraculous way. Well, as long as the wind does not change its direction...Your imagination can do anything. That's the point, which returns the smile on your face and warmth in your heart. The atmosphere is filled with warmth and love. The scenery is great. Characterization could have been better, because an occasional theatricality with certain characters can irritate.Julie Andrews Mary Poppins is a magical woman and authority in her wonders that are almost endless. Simply, Ms. Andrews, with her angelic face, is the right choice for this role. Dick Van Dyke as Bert is a joyous as a sidewalk artist. Karen Dotrice (Jane Banks) and Matthew Garber (Michael Banks) are two lively and sad children at the same time. Regardless of the magical Mary, parental love makes miracles.David Tomlinson as George Banks is a disciplined and busy man who has no time for his children and their entertainment. Glynis Johns as Winifred Banks is his eccentric wife and somewhat distracted mother, who is lost in her own world.The fun begins when Mary Poppins opens her umbrella.

This is one of the most celebrated and acclaimed musical films ever created in that it mixes comedy, music, animation and joy in the right measure. Julie Andrews carries the film on her back thanks to the enormous talent she demonstrates every minute. She is truly great in the main character. Beside her, Dick Van Dyke is the strongest male character with a contagious joy. The script is very good and tells the story of an enchanted nanny who entertains and teaches two children, changing even the life of the whole family. The film is full of great songs that have become immortal and constitute one of the best movie soundtracks of all time. A great movie for the whole family, timeless and worthy of being on the shelf of any home.
