A magic nanny named Mary Poppins comes to work for a cold banker's unhappy family. Embarking on a series of fantastical adventures with Mary and her Cockney performer friend, Bert (Dick Van Dyke), the siblings try to pass on some of their nanny's sunny attitude to their preoccupied parents.

Van Dyke and Andrews have great chemistry together, but it's really her interaction with the children and the magic of the story and the visual effects that charm audiences.

Julie Andrews' first appearance on the screen is a signal triumph and she performs as easily as she sings, displaying a fresh type of beauty nicely adaptable to the color cameras.

Compared to even 'sophisticated' juvenile fodder, the sheer exuberance of Disney's adaptation of PL Travers' children's classic should tickle the most jaded fancy.

The sets are luxuriant, the songs lilting, the scenario witty but impeccably sentimental, and the supporting cast only a pinfeather short of perfection.

I find it irresistible. Plenty of other adults will feel the same way. And, needless to say, so will the kids.

Whether the movie's message is Travers-approved or not, the emphasis on joy and empathy proves heartening, even today.

The entire set was constructed indoors and it shows: the "outdoor" scenes are bathed in a dull gray light

One of the great movie musicals and of that rare breed of deathless family entertainment that's guaranteed to transfix children, well beyond this, its fiftieth anniversary. [Blu-ray]

Van Dyke's energy is prodigious (especially when he leaps around with a gang of sooty chimney-sweeps on the London rooftops) and the songs are classics.

World's coolest nanny celebrates family and fun.
March 03, 2008
The grace of the effects makes it some kind of classic.

This is easily the best of Disney's experiments in combining animation and live action, and one of the studio's best-loved films.
