I love Julie Andrews. I mean, who doesn't? She's one of the classiest women we have today, as well as having some of the best films to her name, she is a very beautiful lady, and has maintained that even today. Mary Poppins is one of her best roles and one that I know many of us will never forget - it has earned a place in our hearts and having grown up with it has been lovely. She is the real Mary Poppins, and her version of the classic character is probably the most famous and most loved.
With a fantastic music score, great performances, and a cute-as-hell story, there isn't much to not like! My favourite songs are "The Perfect Nanny", the catchy "Spoonful Of Sugar", and of course, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" with the adorable animation and Dick Van Dyke.
The only real problem I had with this movie was the length. It was quite long and the songs also went on for quite a while. Nevertheless, it is a great film, lots of fun, it is just the length that can be a problem.
Dick Van Dyke was very charming in this movie. Although I admit he can't do a cockney accent :), he was good in his role and his goofiness added to the appeal of his character. Julie Andrews was as always, fantastic. She was startlingly beautiful in this film, so much that it is scary! She was "practically perfect"! But as well as giving her character Mary Poppins a lovable, sophisticated, and magical side, but she definitely added some grey layers, like she made sure that Mary Poppins was vain and also very spooky in a way. The children were also very sweet and contributed to the movie tremendously.
Definitely one of the best musicals of all time.
