When Jane (Karen Dotrice) and Michael (Matthew Garber), the children of the wealthy and uptight Banks family, are faced with the prospect of a new nanny, they are pleasantly surprised by the arrival of the magical Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews). Embarking on a series of fantastical adventures with Mary and her Cockney performer friend, Bert (Dick Van Dyke), the siblings try to pass on some of their nanny's sunny attitude to their preoccupied parents (David Tomlinson, Glynis Johns).

Critics Consensus

A lavish modern fairy tale celebrated for its amazing special effects, catchy songs, and Julie Andrews's legendary performance in the title role.

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

5/5

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.

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

Mary Poppins teaches children that adults who plan are villains, that mothers don’t need to be present, and that money is something you feel about, not something you manage.

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

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...

THE high point for live-action Disney movies, Julie Andrews' performance, the narm charm of Dick Van Dyke's atrocious Cockney accent, the fun songs and pleasing visuals - especially during the Step in Time dance number - help make Mary Poppins a magical movie whose sheer whimsy helps take the burden off of its more outdated aspects, be they matte paintings posing as London or obvious bluescreen as technology hadn't evolved enough to make something on the level of Roger Rabbit.

One of my favourite childhood films and I still love it today. The actors, the songs, the visuals. Everything is spectacular. Just a few minor parts where it can be a bit slow or songs that weren't as enjoyable. But it's very minor details. Everyone makes fun of Dick Van Dyke's accent in it but it never bothered me one bit. I love it and find it/him so endearing.

Just like Mary Poppins herself, this film is practically perfect in every way. Such a delight from beginning to end.

"Mary Poppins" is 'nearly perfect in every way.'

Commanded by the charming, elegant Julie Andrews (who won Best Actress for the role) Mary Poppins serves as a benchmark of Walt Disney's timeless classics with its colorful musical numbers, wholehearted tones and vibrant joy. 4.2/5
