Reviews for Mary Poppins
Top CriticCompared to even 'sophisticated' juvenile fodder, the sheer exuberance of Disney's adaptation of PL Travers' children's classic should tickle the most jaded fancy.

The sets are luxuriant, the songs lilting, the scenario witty but impeccably sentimental, and the supporting cast only a pinfeather short of perfection.

It’s truly supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Arguably, it already seemed dated by the early 1970s, within a decade of its 1964 release. Yet still, somehow, the substantial charms of Mary Poppins live on.

Sophisticated yet wide open to its audience, with exciting dance sequences and inviting performances.
07/05/04

Mary Poppins is definitely worth popping for. (40th Anniversary Edition)
