VHS Movie Reviews of Mary Poppins
Movie Review: An excellent purchase!
Summary: 5 Stars
There can be no better way than bring brightness to life than watching Disney's Mary Poppins. The cast could not have been selected better and the music is enchanting (sing along words are included in this dvd) The story takes us back to glory days of the Empire and is a great lesson about kindness and empathy. Great as a family film or for anyone.
This particular dvd set has excellent colour and clarity. A must purchase for anyone who loves musicals.
Movie Review: P.L.Travers' Book, Mary Poppins, Made Even More Magical, if Possible!
Summary: 5 Stars
We here at home love this 40th anniversary edition of the film, Mary Poppins! It is spectacular! I adored the books when I was a child. My older sons loved the original Disney movie on video, and this DVD is being watched with the greatest delight by my younger children! With good reason! Even though this is an extremely long movie by present standards, it moves right along, is packed with fantastic, classic songs, amusing scenes, and even touching, poignant parts which will move you, zinging straight to your heart.
Julie Andrews, who rightfully won an Oscar for her role as the magical nanny who appears at "just the right moment" at the door of the discombobulated British Banks' family's household, teaches the children and their parents as well a thing or two about how to live properly. It's complicated to say what "living properly" means, exactly, unless you watch the movie...It has much to do with having fun as you do things you ought to be doing. It has to do with caring for other people's feelings, and also for taking a day off when you are least expecting to and having a fantastic adventure! The songs "Spoonful of Sugar", " Let's Go Fly a Kite", "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", "Feed the Birds," and Chim-Chimminee" are all so famous and so beloved it is quit easy to call up their tunes at a moment's notice, I expect. If you haven't heard them lately, I suggest you get a copy of this really well done 40th anniversary edition and relive the first time, or times, you saw this movie. It is touching, and charming. Dick Van Dyke is fantastic as the appealing foil to Julie Andrews' character. You can tell Mary Poppins adores him in his character (Bert, the chimney sweep) but must maintain her ladylike character -- it is truly sweet. Another charming and superbly played part is that of Ed Wynn's in the scene which includes the song "I Love to Laugh". That is a great scene in every way! Incredible!
The children and their family are beautifully cast; the ups and downs are believable, and easily coax you into caring about the plot. The movie is extremely well rounded. There is dancing, singing, and fantasy galore. I cannot recommend this 40th anniversay version of Mary Poppins highly enough. I don't care how old you are! You will love this movie!
