Mary Poppins (Spanish)

Buy This Item Mary Poppins (Spanish) by Walt Disney Video  Available from Amazon  $22.99  on 11-14-2008     There is only one word that comes close to accurately describing the enchanting <i>Mary Poppins</i>, and that term was coined by the movie itself: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even at 2 hours and 20 minutes, Disney's pioneering mixture of live action and animation (based on the books by P.L. Travers) still holds kids spellbound. Julie Andrews won an Oscar as the world's most magically idealized nanny ("practically perfect in every way," and complete with lighter-than-air umbrella), and Dick Van Dyke is her clownishly charming beau, Bert the chimney sweep. The songs are also terrific, ranging from bright and cheery ("A Spoonful of Sugar") to dark and cheery (the Oscar-winning "Chim Chim Cher-ee") to touchingly melancholy ("Feed the Birds"). Many consider <i>Mary Poppins</i> to be the crowning achievement of Walt Disney's career--and it was the only one of his features to be nominated for a best picture Academy Award until <i>Beauty and the Beast</i> in 1991. <i>--Jim Emerson</i> Reader Reviews Mary Poppins is a Walt Disney classic. Julie Andrews plays the title role and she won an Oscar for her flawless performance. Andrews is pure delight, wish I had a nanny like her as a youngster. Dick Van Dyke is a gem as well, great songs and dance numbers. Mary Poppins is a family treasure to be enjoyed over and over again. I highly recommend it.
