The problem-solving is so brilliant, the songs are so great and Julie Andrews is so utterly, utterly perfect.

5/5

I have to admit that I find the real brilliance of the film is in the first act and things have wound down by the end, but what an entertainment sugar rush.

Shot entirely indoors in a Hollywood fantasy version of late Victorian London, Disney’s evergreen family classic is arguably Walt Disney’s finest moment

It mixes over the top, fantastical humor with genuine observations about the importance of really listening to your children.

Mary Poppins is of a piece with the classic art-film archetype in which a mysterious stranger helps each member of a family through unlocking their emotional blockage, for better or worse...

Mary Poppins is a product instead of the wholly enchanting children's art it so easily could have been.

The plot can drag on a little bit at times, but it is a very good family film. All age groups can relate to different characters and there are several details that are fun to look out for.

Mary Poppins has been on my watchlist forever, literally, and with Dick Van Dyke’s 100th birthday it finally felt like the right time. The special effects are obviously dated, but honestly they’re still kind of mind-blowing. The animation blended with live action is way ahead of its time and still charming to look at. The whole movie is soaked in classic old-school Disney magic, catchy songs, bright colors, pure vibes. That said, I didn’t love it as much as I expected. The characters feel a bit flat, like… who are these people really? I never fully connected with them. Still, I totally get why this movie is beloved. It’s cozy, imaginative, and historically impressive. Not perfect for me, but undeniably charming and important overall classic.
