Product Description:
When mary poppins floats out of the london sky and into the lives of two playful children she and a carefree chimney sweeps named bert make every chore a game and every day an adventure. Filled with dazzling special effects and award-winning music.Studio: Buena Vista Home VideoRelease Date: 09/14/2007Starring: Julie Andrews David TomlinsonRun time: 139 minutesRating: G
Amazon.com essential video:
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

- The Worst Cockney Accent in the World
The three most most purely astounding things about this 45th anniversary release of Mary Poppins on DVD is how very, very good it looks and sounds, how very young Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke both look - and how terribly shaky his grasp on his Cockney accent really was. In one of the lavish assortment of additional features and interviews, Mr. Van Dyke has sufficient confidence and self-deprecating humor to laugh about this.

Rating: - It Doesn't Have To Be "HSM" For Kids To Like It
Just recently, I watched this film with my younger sister, who is pretty much obsessed with the whole "High School Musical" phenomenon.I wanted to show her the musical that defined MY childhood, but wasn't sure how she would react to the dated graphics and themes.I was pleasantly surprised to find that she found the film to be very entertaining, from the goofy songs to the crazy characters to the wacky animation.
In all honesty, though, what is not to like about this charming film?! ... Read More
Rating: - special fun
This special edition was most enjoyable. The added video of the musical play adaptation was delightful. It was fun seeing this magical musical classic again after seeing it in the movies when I was a kid. It keeps the young in me. Mary Poppins just keeps the medicine as sweet as ever.
