| Movie Description A magical, musical nanny brings a breath of fresh air into the stuffy Banks household in turn-of-the-century England. Overstuffed with gaiety, this children's fantasy is filled to the brim with wonderful dance numbers and outrageous songs (such as the seemingly unpronounceable "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"). The film's seamless blending of live-action with animation was a marvel in its day. This is Andrews' film debut and Darwell's last film appearance. Academy Award Nominations: 13, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best (Adapted) Screenplay. Academy Awards: 5, including Best Actress--Julie Andrews, Best Original Score, Best Song ("Chim Chim Cher-ee"), Best Editing, Best Special Visual Effects.

Top Reviews  Julie Andrews & Dick Van Dyke Musical Classic (1964)Review created: 12/22/06 by:  6 of 6 people found this review helpful. Mary Poppins is perhaps one of the greatest children's films I've ever seen. Mary Poppins (soprano Julie Andrews) is a perfect nanny with special powers. The show includes a near flawless mix of live action & animation. The film's musical score is superb, as well. The script, based on P.L. Travers book, is meticulous. Beginning with a British mother & father (Johns & Tomlinson), who decide to palace an ad for another nanny for their 2 precocious children, Jane and Michael Banks (Dotrice and Garber, the children write their own ad, which their father tears up & burns in their fireplace. The pieces mysteriously go up the flue and into the hands of Mary Poppins. The next day, she glides down from the sky by way of her magic umbrella and answers the children's ad. Poppins (Andrews) is not a typical nanny. The children can't outdo her as they have every other nanny, for one thing. To captivate their wild imaginations, Poppins takes them on magical adventures even as she teaches the Banks children British etiquette. Bert (Van Dyke) the chimney sweep accompanies Poppins and the children on a holiday to a an animated world with penguins, who serve tea on a carousel, with live horses. They meet Uncle Albert (Wynn), whose laughter causes everyone to levitate. Jane Darwell plays her final role as the Bird Lady. The 1964 film won Academy Awards for Best Actress, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, Best Song, and Best Special Visual Effects. Producer Walt Disney considered Mary Poppins his highest achievement throughout a career that earned him more Oscars than anyone else. The musical score by Disney's composers Richard & Robert Sherman include: "A Spoonful of Sugar," "Chim Chim Cheree," "Feed the Birds," "Let's Go Fly a Kite," & "Supercalifragilisticexpi Review ID: 10000000002558199 Was this review helpful? Report this review It's a Jolly Holiday10 of 13 people found this review helpful. The magic of Disney is rampant in this movie. I think this was the first time that I had ever seen a real life movie combine animation. Disney did an excellent job at it. The Banks children need a new nanny. The write an advertisement describing the perfect nanny for them. Their father sends them off to bed and rips the advertisement up and throws in the fireplace. However Mary Poppins, the magical nanny, seizes the letter and hires herself as the Banks' new nanny. With Mary Poppins at the helm all sorts of magic begins to happen. The biggest piece of magic is yet to come when the children develop a loving relationship with their father. This movie contains good old fashioned songs, fun and morals. Highly recommend owning a copy of this fantastic magical Disney adventure. Review ID: 10000000002149348 Was this review helpful? Report this review A CLASSIC!6 of 8 people found this review helpful. There are several movies that I believe are a must have for a child's DVD library and this is one of them. Mary Poppins arrives in a fantastical gust of wind, using her trusty umbrella to guide her gently and safely into the nannyhood of two children in need of some tender loving care. The story that unfolds is musical, humorous, and touching. Review ID: 10000000001887762 Was this review helpful? Report this review great movie!4 of 5 people found this review helpful.
