Experience the extraordinary animation, dazzling special effects and award-winning music of Walt Disney's Mary Poppins in this restored and remastered 2-Disc 45th Anniversary Edition! Join the practically perfect Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) for a Jolly Holiday as she magically turns every chore into a game and every day into a whimsical adventure. Along the way, you ll be enchanted by unforgettable characters such as the multitalented chimney sweep Burt (Dick Van Dyke). Unpack Mary's magical carpetbag full of bonus features, including all-new bonus from the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Broadway production of Mary Poppins. You won't need a Spoonful Of Sugar to love every moment of this timeless Disney classic!
There is only one word that comes close to accurately describing the enchanting Mary Poppins, and that term was coined by the movie itself: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even at 2 hours and 20 minutes, Disney's pioneering mixture of live action and animation (based on the books by P.L. Travers) still holds kids spellbound. Julie Andrews won an Oscar as the world's most magically idealized nanny ("practically perfect in every way," and complete with lighter-than-air umbrella), and Dick Van Dyke is her clownishly charming beau, Bert the chimney sweep. The songs are also terrific, ranging from bright and cheery ("A Spoonful of Sugar") to dark and cheery (the Oscar-winning "Chim Chim Cher-ee") to touchingly melancholy ("Feed the Birds"). Many consider Mary Poppins to be the crowning achievement of Walt Disney's career--and it was the only one of his features to be nominated for a best picture Academy Award until Beauty and the Beast in 1991. --Jim Emerson

Great movie, great condition:
Movie arrived in great condition, just one little skip toward the end. But for the price, I think it's a good buy
Mary Poppins keeps Poppin:
Who doesn't remember with fondness the film, "Mary Poppins", It's almost a household name. What made this film so special was not only the cleaver casting of Julie Andrews and Dick van Dyke; but the immortal soundtrack by the Sherman brothers. This 45th anniversary presentation of the film is as good as it gets. The visual quality is second to none and the sound just as it was in the cinema. It could have been shot today, that's how good this DVD is.
With the quality and care of the original filming,... more info
Mary Poppins:
My 2 and a half year old grandson sits through the movie. He dances around during the seen where the carosel horses leave the marry go round. I wasn't sure he was old enough for the movie, but he is and he loves it.
So much better on DVD!:
I've been slowly replacing my VHS collection, some of which dates back to my childhood, with DVDs. My old VHS copy of this film had to be from the early 1980's and had been recorded off TV so you can imagine how muddled the quality was. I was amazed when watching the DVD version at all the detail that I'd missed out on in my old version. It was like watching a completely different movie at times! But overall, I love this movie! What's not to love? Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews? They're the best. Plus all... more info
