Mary Poppins (2004, DVD)

Mary Poppins is perhaps one of the greatest children's films I've ever seen. Mary Poppins (soprano Julie Andrews) is a perfect nanny with special powers. The show includes a near flawless mix of live action & animation. The film's musical score is superb, as well. The script, based on P.L. Travers book, is meticulous.

Beginning with a British mother & father (Johns & Tomlinson), who decide to palace an ad for another nanny for their 2 precocious children, Jane and Michael Banks (Dotrice and Garber, the children write their own ad, which their father tears up & burns in their fireplace. The pieces mysteriously go up the flue and into the hands of Mary Poppins. The next day, she glides down from the sky by way of her magic umbrella and answers the children's ad.

Poppins (Andrews) is not a typical nanny. The children can't outdo her as they have every other nanny, for one thing. To captivate their wild imaginations, Poppins takes them on magical adventures even as she teaches the Banks children British etiquette. Bert (Van Dyke) the chimney sweep accompanies Poppins and the children on a holiday to a an animated world with penguins, who serve tea on a carousel, with live horses. They meet Uncle Albert (Wynn), whose laughter causes everyone to levitate. Jane Darwell plays her final role as the Bird Lady.

The 1964 film won Academy Awards for Best Actress, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, Best Song, and Best Special Visual Effects. Producer Walt Disney considered Mary Poppins his highest achievement throughout a career that earned him more Oscars than anyone else. The musical score by Disney's composers Richard & Robert Sherman include:
"A Spoonful of Sugar," "Chim Chim Cheree," "Feed the Birds,"
"Let's Go Fly a Kite," & "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."

As being one of my all time favorites. This 40th annversery edetion is a must for the collecter. They added bonus features and also added songs that was left out of the original

I loved everything! Thank you so much. The delivery was fast and acurate! Great seller. I hope to do business with you later on!

Mary Poppins is a classic award-winning film that will live forever. This item is atleast the third iteration of this magnificent film for children of all ages.

The music is very special, indeed. Julie Andrews (Mary) was at her very best - as was Dick Van Dyke (Bert). In this 40th Anniversary Edition, the stars talk about the music, the story, the animation mixed with actors, the selection of them as the actors, etc, etc. It should not be missed.

This movie should be in every DVD library.

The dvd of Mary Poppins arrived quickly and we were so pleased by the quality. My daughter, who's two, watches it almost every day, and it is still in perfect condition. This is a good seller, who is fast and sells a good product!

I went to the theatre to see this movie when it first came out and I still love it to this day. What other female has such a beautiful voice as Julie Andrews.

This film is a fantastic musical for everyone, filled with songs that are catchy and interesting even for the youngest children. Mary Poppins is a magical nanny who takes her latest wards on wonderful adventures while healing their family life. The special effects are charming, and it is fun to see several well-known actors in comical and younger roles.

It's well worth watching!

this is great,we watched some of it again this is a great movie. this will be watched over &over by my grand children.they will love the songs. thanks

I would like to know when the item will be shipped to my location. I love this movie and I hope that the Dvd is not scratched up or the box is torn apart.

i ordered this product because the product was a 40th anniversary edition and the dvd was said to be in brand new condition,which it was,and it was a good price for the product

This DVD went into my 2 1/2 year old grandaughter's Easter Basket. Her father tells me that it is constantly played when she is home so i would have to say that it was a success.
The colors are clear and the soundtrack is great.

My daughter asked for Mary Poppins for Easter. Disney has put it back in the vault so I thought I would try ebay. I had a lot of fun and my daughter is very happy to have Mary Poppins to add to her collection.

MARY POPPINS -- I can remember this movie as one of the first I fell in love with... and had the VINYL album playing the music over and over and over as a child in my room. I knew the words to every song, and surprisingly I still do!! lol--- But what kid back in the mid-late 60s didn't say, SUPERCALIFRAGILICIOUSEPEALADOCIOUS... or however you spell it!! Such a made up word of independence and confidence!! :-) And what kid didn't wish they could snap their fingers and clean up their room. SURE< special effects has come a few decades since this early/mid 60s flick. But few have more charm and are more memorable than this movie. I loved it as a child, and just learned I love it FONDLY as an adult too! -- The messages are warm and timeless in this movie really, family priorities and a lil magic needed to see the contrast of what is impt and what is not in our daily lives -- Honestly, I think we could all use a little of Poppins magic these days! Ms Andrews beautiful singing and Dick Van Dyke's physical humor, simply and honestly, a classic!! ~~ Anyway, I saw Julie Andrews recently on some other show and was telling my daughter what a BEAUTIFUL voice she had... and how sad it is that she no longer sings, and a alto if she does. Most recall her in the SOUND OF MUSIC classic, but Julie Andrews appears in this movie she says as HER FIRST MOVIE ROLE!! ~~ I wanted a DVD of this movie as rememberence of a fond childhood memory, but of a classic academy award winning musical/movie and of a record of a very classy lady w one of the most beautiful voices of all time. It was and still is a lil gem -- combining DISNEY, Walt's vision...Julie Andrews and her lovely voice w/ Dick Van Dyke... I'd forgotten what a pleasure this movie was and as I watched it, see that it is still a GEM. ~~ THe 40th anniversary RELEASE - EXTRAS DVD - has some fun info about the making of this movie, re WALT and his vision for the partial animation w live actor interaction, and of the overall inspiration and visions behind the movie = Nice insights. ~~ ALSO, one the composers chats in a 2004 interview/singing/conversation w Ms Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. Discussing how songs came about, how written, and their memories of the movie/ and making of.. I enjoyed it very much. I smiled throughout the movie and throughout the extras DVD. ~~ I'm happy to finally have this in my DVD collection! Glad it was still available, SMILES :>

Mary Poppins is a classic that every household should have that has kids. The songs and the plot show people really true values and history.

I can't say it was sometime I don't like until I see the movie but until now it is exactly what the description said on my first bid.

The DVD arrived quickly and was exactly as the seller said it was. It has worked great so far and we have enjoyed having it in our home. We bought this DVD to add to our collection.

I was so excited when I came across this movie on Ebay. It reminded me of my childhood and I can't wait to watch it with my grandchildren. This movie was very inspirational and cute. Happiness goes a long way in this world.

Loved the movie. Wanted to own a copy for my home. This movie was brand new. My grandkids loved it like I did. I would suggest this movie for any buyer who likes wholesome entertainment.

This movie is a classic and they truly don't make them like this anymore. Great music and a nice story makes it is easy to watch this with your kids again and again.

I love this movie. I remember watching this movie when I was a kid and I loved it then!! I was fascinated with the special effects, like when Mary Poppins kept pulling very large items out of her carpet bag. It is an awesome movie for any audience and I would definately recommend this movie to anyone who wants to do some toe tappin or even to sing along. SUPER MOVIE!!

A classic is a classic. My family loves this movie. My seven year old daughter and four year old son really enjoy this movie. As my mother did as I am told. Great music and animation. Wonderful movie.

STILL TO THIS DAY A FANTASTIC ADVENTURE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY FILLED WITH BEAUTIFUL SONGS TO SING ALONG AND EYEFULS OF DAZZELING FOOTAGE,AMAZING DANCE SCENES AND A LASTING IMPRESSION EVERY BIT AS ENJOYABLE NOW AS THE FIRST TIME YOU SAW IT.NO CHILD SHOULD GO WITHOUT EXPIERENCING THIS CINAMATIC TRIMUPH!

with so many extra features that they had to include a second disc, this version of "mary poppins" is *well* worth the money!

the interviews with julie andrews and dick van dyke; their reunion with co-songwriter richard sherman; the red carpet, world premiere; the *new* bonus short, featuring julie andrews: all these facets of the special features give wonderful insights to the movie, the stars, and the general warm-all-over feeling that "mary poppins" has given audiences for over four decades.

remember that patience is a virtue: don't pay more than $10 for it, including shipping and handling. i didn't... TWICE! ;) [one for my collection, and one as a gift to friends.]

happy hunting,

I love this seller!! Super Duper fast shipping, great communication and the most friendly seller on ebay!! I would highly recommend buying from this seller.

I bought this movie for a Christmas present for a grandchild. I was extremely pleased with the price. The seller shipped it immediately and it arrived in quick time, less than 10 days. The movie arrived in its original packaging and was in new condition.
