The movie Mary Poppins makes me belive in magic and the world through the eyes of two childen. Go down the streets of londonbrwith a real chimney sweep and having tea partys of the sealing.brAnd going through chake drawings and riding on merry go round horses and winner and race. That magic only Disney can being
truly magical April 3, 2004

A film by Robert Stevensonp"Mary Poppins" is one of the most beloved movies of all time, and for good reason. This truly is a magical film. It is a mixture of live action and animation and is a wonderful musical and is quite possibly the perfect family film. Nominated for 13 Academy Awards and it was the winner of 5, including Best Actress for Julie Andrews in her feature film debut. p"Mary Poppins" is the story of, well, Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews). Mary Poppins is the new nanny for Jane (Karen Dotrice) and Matthew (Michael Garber) Banks. As a nanny, Mary Poppins is "practically perfect". She floats down from the sky holding on to an umbrella and convinces George Banks (David Tomlinson) to give her the job as the nanny. George is flustered by Mary and of course he gives her the job. The lives and experiences of the children are about to change because there is something magical about Mary. With a song and a dance amazing things happen around Mary. She can clean up a room with nothing more than a snap of the fingers and can take a journey into a picture drawn with chalk on a sidewalk. p"Mary Poppins" perfectly mixes animation (the penguin waiters!) and live action to create a magical world that is an incredible change from the London that Jane and Matthew think they know. There are excellent acting performances and the over the top Dick Van Dyke is charming in how sweet he is. The whole movie is sweet, charming, funny, and fantastic. This is a highly recommended musical for the whole family
Though her words are simple and few, listen, listen... March 13, 2004

...she's calling to you.pIn my mind, this movie is the reason why Disney is great. The rest of them - however good many of them may be - don't hold a candle (on the water) to this wonderful Disney masterpiece. This is easily my favorite Disney movie ever and one of my favorite movies of all time.pOne of the things I love most about this movie is the fact that there's plenty of entertainment here for children; but there's also a lot of humor for adults. So, when the children grow up, they can have just as much, if not more, appreciation for the film. I love the way the satire starts out. Mrs. Banks comes home from her Sister Suffragettes Rally, shouting and singing for women's rights and equality with menp("Though we adore men individually,brWe agree that as a groupbrThey're rather stupid.").pThen Mr. Banks comes home from work singing about the pleasures of being a man in this age in England:p"It's grand to be an Englishman in 1910.brKing Edward's on the throne;brIt's the age of men!brI'm the lord of my castle!brThe sovereign!brThe liege!"pI still love the thought of a house which sports a naval cannon deck on top. And I have to confess when I was a child I did try the finger snap to see if it would get my room clean. (It didn't work, so I just grew up in a messy room.)pThe fantastic acting performances by Julie Andrews (who received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress - back in the days when the person who won was usually the person who deserved to win), the children, Dick Van Dyke, David Tomlinson, Glynnis Johns, Jane Darwell (though her part was very small), and the rest - cannot be overstated. I have already said that this is Disney's best film. Well, it is also boasts the finest acting ever in a Disney film.pI highly recommend purchasing this in the Widescreen format. You will see a lot more of the picture than in the standard format. Unfortunately, the widescreen version is out of print (you can still buy them used; that's how I got mine); and it looks like the standard version may also be going out of print soon. Hopefully, that means there will be a special deluxe edition with both formats, documentaries, commentaries, etc. coming out soon.
Mary Poppins is a Fantastic Movie! January 24, 2004

Mary Poppins is one my favorite Disney movies, it is mostly a live-action movie but includes a wonderful animated sequence. While it may be said that Mary Poppins is long for a Disney movie it can also be said that the movie moves at a fast pace and it's so fun to watch that you don't notice how much longer it is then the average Disney movie unless you are watching it on TV with tons of commercial breaks with boring long winded commercials. Mary Poppins is an adorable movie, the acting from Julie Andrews Dick Van Dyke, Ed Wynn, Karen Dotrice, Matthew Garber, Glynnis Johns and David Tomlison is very good and the rest of the cast is pretty top-notch too and the songs are wonderful and so catchy and I highly recommend this movie. I gave away my old video tape because I was going to buy this DVD but I will hold off and wait and see if it is true that they are putting out a new special edition two disc set.
 It was better the second time December 30, 2003

I hated Mary Poppins the first time I watched it and wrote a very mean review for it. I watched it again and though it is not something I want to watch everyday, like The Sound of Music, it is an alright film that people can live through. The songs are really wonderful and touching. The children are very cute even thoguh at times they lack the personality of some other children from one of Julie's other movies made a year later. I think of this movie kindov as a stepping stone to greatness for Julie because this movie was the precurser to the good things to come in The Sound of Music. I would recommend if you want to see a really flawless musical about a nanny watch The Sound of Music. It is onehundred times better. Mary Poppins however is good in its own right. And one more thing. All the people who continue to whine that Audrey should have gotten the Academy Award instead of Julie need to get over it. Julie was just as deserving and MFL won for best piture so you really should jsut stop complaining. Audrey is a good actress, but let me remind you Julie's performance was superior because she acted, sang and danced and did all of them well. Also compared to Julie's performance on Broadway, Audrey really stunk in MFL. Audrey got her fame from doing a lot of alright movies, but let me remind you that Julie Andrews were always be remebered for her great performance in Mary Poppins that made the movie. And for the one movie that will live forever The Sound of Music.
