There is only one word that comes close to accurately describing the enchanting Mary Poppins, 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 Mary Poppins 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 Beauty and the Beast in 1991. --Jim Emerson

This will always be enjoyed by generations to come. Julie Andrews was the perfect choice for Maria. Loved the extras with the film.

Never received this item. Amazon and their vendor will not respond to my request. Will need to dispute on my credit card. This is too bad! Do not buy anything from *Collectible*Queen* They take your money and never return you email.
An awesome classic for young or old December 16, 2008

I had seen Mary Poppins as a child so I already knew what the movie was about before I purchased it. I now have a child and want him to enjoy some of the same classics I enjoyed when I was a child. I love this movie and I know he will too!
*Wonderful ***EXTRA***Goodies! December 4, 2008
This 40th edition of MARY POPPINS is worth it! Of course the movie is gloriously restored and stuff and is a must have for anyone who loved the book and the movie.
The real prize is the second disc that features lot's of extras like:
***1:32-Minute = Deleted song with story board "Chimpanzoo"
***17:20-Minute = Reunion with Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, & songwriter Richard Sherman
***20:50-Minute = Musical Journey w/Sherman explaining the process of writing the songs for MP with the Sherman brothers and includes some songs that weren't used in the movie
***50:40-Minute = The Making Of Mary Poppins with Andrews, Van Dyke, Sherman and others from the cast like Glynis Johns (Mrs. Banks) and Karen Dotrice (Jane Banks) and others with audio recordings of suggestions from author P.L. Travers
***7:05-Minute = Movie magic featurette explaining the special effects and set design + animatronics used in MP
***13:00 & 4:50-Minutes Each = Deconstruction Of A Scene "Jolly Holiday" and "Step In Time" shows the composites of the live action shots plus the backgrounds for the two musical scenes
***1:00-Minute = Dick Van Dyke Make-up Test
***17:45-Minute = The Red Carpet Premiere from Grauman's Chinese Theater, with text intro explaining the television special of the event. Fun look at Hollywood in the swinging 60s with stars and glamour!
***6:25-Minute = Premiere After Party in the parking lot of Grauman's. However, the audio is from a radio broadcast but the footage is really cleaned up and pristine for being shot on a 16mm camera.
***9:35-Minute = Bonus Short "The Cat That Looked At A King" from Mary Poppins Opens the Door (Mary Poppins) with Julie Andrews and Tracey Ullman as the voice of the cat. This was done recently and is an animated short where Andrews and two children watch the story after jumping into the picture (like in the movie MP).
***Trailers, Still Gallery and a game
All those goodies make this 40th edition of "Mary Poppins" worth buying!
