Audience Reviews for Mary Poppins

  • Mar 25, 2019
    Commanded by the charming, elegant Julie Andrews (who won Best Actress for the role) Mary Poppins serves as a benchmark of Walt Disney's timeless classics with its colorful musical numbers, wholehearted tones and vibrant joy. 4.2/5
    Super Reviewer

    Easily one of the best movie musicals. There's not a single bad song and Julie Andrews is an utter delight.
    Alec B Super Reviewer
  • Aug 17, 2015
    Truly the greatest live action film Walt Disney Pictures and Walt himself have ever produced
    Kameron W Super Reviewer
  • Mar 05, 2014
    Practically perfect in every way, Mary Poppins is a film for the ages. Based on the book series by P.L. Travers, the story follows a magical nanny named Mary Poppins who comes to the aid of a London family and takes the children on fantastical adventures. Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke give outstanding performances that have become iconic. And, the musical numbers are incredibly catchy and fun; featuring the Academy Award winning "Chim Chim Cher-Ee." One of Walt Disney's crowning achievements, Mary Poppins is nothing less than supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
