Compared to even 'sophisticated' juvenile fodder, the sheer exuberance of Disney's adaptation of PL Travers' children's classic should tickle the most jaded fancy.

Reviews for Mary Poppins
The sets are luxuriant, the songs lilting, the scenario witty but impeccably sentimental, and the supporting cast only a pinfeather short of perfection.

One of the greatest children's films ever.

It’s truly supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Arguably, it already seemed dated by the early 1970s, within a decade of its 1964 release. Yet still, somehow, the substantial charms of Mary Poppins live on.

The grace of the effects makes it some kind of classic.

One of Disney's greats.

Disney had done a magnificent job of adapting the PL Travers character to the screen, using cinematic effects to the full in creating an enchanting story.

Sophisticated yet wide open to its audience, with exciting dance sequences and inviting performances.
07/05/04
At her most startlingly beautiful here, Julie Andrews does not play the chipper, loving nanny people might expect or remember. She carefully layers a distantly dangerous and even spooky side to her character.

Mary Poppins is definitely worth popping for. (40th Anniversary Edition)

Classic Disney at his most lavish.
