On the DVD: Mary Poppins has certainly cleaned up a treat, restoring her to 1.85:1 widescreen glory and 5.1 Dolby digital sound--which is guaranteed to be music to your ears. The special features are "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" with the "Sing Along with the Movie" subtitles for all your favourite songs when they appear in the movie and the "I Love to Laugh" game offering Uncle Albert flying high in his parlour once more. "The Movie Magic of Mary Poppins" lets you look behind the scenes at how the magic was done and is fun, informative and easily understandable--pity the same cannot be said about the narrator. "Hollywood goes to a World Premiere" is a warm and amusing reminder about how premieres and stars used to be in 1964. The only disappointment is the lack of commentary--Dick Van Dyke would surely have offered a gem of a cockney voice-over! --Nikki Disney

Just sit back and relive your youth - those rainy days when you found yourself in front of the TV popping through a chalk picture, laughing uncontrollably and floating up to the ceiling or dreaming that you could just snap your fingers and your toys would up and march into the toy chest themselves!

Wondrous, magical and like I said before - and to quote Mary Poppins herself - "Practically perfect in every way!"

Bought Mary Poppins for my kids aged 14,10,4 and relished viewing it again with them.The 4 year old is the one who keeps watching it over and over but all of them sing the songs.
Don;t miss it.

"supercalifragilisticexpealidosious" what else can be said about this movie. Walt Disney at its best. Even comparing to animation today, movies today miss the "supercalifragilisticexpealidosious" characteristic of this movie. it generates warmth to all who watch it. it also causes a smile to appear on the face of whomever is reminded of its essence.
