Overstuffed with gaiety, this children's fantasy is filled to the brim with wonderful dance numbers and outrageous songs (such as the seemingly unpronounceable "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"). The film's seamless blending of live-action with animation was a marvel in its day. This is Andrews' film debut and Darwell's last film appearance.

Reviews for Mary Poppins
Even better than you remember, better than anyone could have hoped, better than almost any other movie of its kind.
Sophisticated yet wide open to its audience, with exciting dance sequences and inviting performances.
There are few things in this world as sublime as watching Dick Van Dyke dance with penguins.
One of the most loved Disney movies that has delighted families since it was made in 1964, Mary Poppins, like its central character, is practically Perfect in Every Way.
