Summary: It's a funny thing...
Comment: First let me say that I like this movie. I'm British by birth so I am duty bound to deduct one star for the most unsuccessful attempt at a British accent ever to be immortalized on film. It shows how much the standard of acting has improved when you hear the flawless British accents of actors like Rene Zellweiger or Johnny Depp. Dick Van Dyke simply can't do a British accent and should never have been cast in the part. There was a British actor/singer at the time called Tommy Steele, who already had an impressive stage and screen resume and who would have been perfect in the role. However, he was overlooked for the bigger name (in the US) of Van Dyke. Ironically, Julie Andrews was passed over a year earlier for the movie of 'My Fair Lady' for the non-singing, but better-known, Audrey Hepburn (whose cockney accent was almost as bad as Van Dyke's). Andrews showed what a mistake that was by winning an Oscar for this film. However, that quibble aside, this is a joyous, entrancing movie.
The funny thing I referred to in the title of this review is that in most movie adaptations of books, like say the Harry Potter series, angry reviewers spend much time and energy complaining that the movies don't follow the books. Hardly anyone (I did find one such review) says that about 'Mary Poppins', even though the movie bears little resemblance to the book and, in particular, the character of Mary Poppins is completely changed.
Personally, I've never felt that movie adaptations need to follow the books on which they were based. Movies are a totally different medium and the only criterion should be whether the movie works as a movie. In that respect, 'Mary Poppins' works admirably.

Summary: Blu Ray
Comment: I bought this for my kids ages 6 & 4, and they love it but I am wondering why in 2009 they did not remaster it to HD? A Blu Ray release would have been huge!!!!!!

Summary: Mary Poppins stinks and Dick van Dyke is a bastard
Comment: First of all, I hate "Mary Poppins." It's garbage. It's crap and I hate Dick van Dyke is a bastard, the bloody bastard. He's so stupid and annoying. He's a loser. Hate to sound like the British, but the man is a bloody bastard. He's a piece of trash and I can't stand the man's presence. He stinks up every room he enters. An added bonus: this film is filled with bad and embarassing moments. I hate this movie, it's so stupid and lame and bad. I don't see why people even like this movie, it stinks. it's so horrible. I hate Julie Andrews, she is so annoying. She stinks. She's such a phoney baloney. She's so fakey. She's so annoying too, she really gets on you're nerves. I wish I could pinch her cheekbones or something or slap her fat face. She's so overly cheery and ick. She's a old windbag now, but still irreating. I never bought those kids either, how sweet they are?! Please! They're so fakey. I bet the director had to literally sit down and get it out of em' and they had to act really fakey onscreen. I bet it was a riot. I hate the mother of the children in the movie, she was such a goody-two shoes Disney character. I hated howed the father was always like a captain general, and he was a loser. Old Walt really didn't luck out on this one, this movie is horrible and it spells bad. This movie is bad and it rots. I think that the movie "Nanny McPhee" was much better and a better movie about a nanny changing the lifes of naughty children. This movie was horrible and I hate it and can't stand Julie Andrews. She's irrating.
