Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

The problem-solving is so brilliant, the songs are so great and Julie Andrews is so utterly, utterly perfect.

I have to admit that I find the real brilliance of the film is in the first act and things have wound down by the end, but what an entertainment sugar rush.

Rated: 5/5

Times (UK)

Shot entirely indoors in a Hollywood fantasy version of late Victorian London, Disney’s evergreen family classic is arguably Walt Disney’s finest moment

It mixes over the top, fantastical humor with genuine observations about the importance of really listening to your children.

Nashville Scene

Mary Poppins is of a piece with the classic art-film archetype in which a mysterious stranger helps each member of a family through unlocking their emotional blockage, for better or worse...

Mary Poppins is a product instead of the wholly enchanting children's art it so easily could have been.

I do believe that this is the best movie that Walt Disney ever made. It is unfortunate that P. L. Travers did not like this adaptation of her book, because I think a vast majority of the world did. What can I say about this movie that hasn’t already been said, if you haven’t seen it, stop reading this and go do it now!! Also it has Ed Wynn in it, so auto awesome points.

The movie is pure magic and the writing is genius. The story is well developed and Julie Andrews is shall we say practically perfect in every way for the role and she nails it.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I don't think being a chimney sweep is THAT fun. It might be blasphemous but I think I prefer the story and songs in the broadway musical version.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
