The movie combines a diverting story, songs, color and sequences of live action blended with the movements of animated figures. Mary Poppins is a kind of Super-nanny who flies in with her umbrella in response to the request of the Banks children and proceeds to put things right with the aid of her rather extraordinary magical powers before flying off again.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Lovely to see a Disney in live action. Julie Andrew's sparkles in this family comedy about a magical nanny who comes to visit two lonely children and take them on a series of wild adventures. Dick Vann Dyke is hilarious as the best friend. Spectacular scenes, kids will love it.
