Rated G
Experience the extraordinary animation, dazzling special effects, and award-winning music of Walt Disney's MARY POPPINS in this fully restored and remastered 2-Disc 40th Anniversary Edition! Join the "practically perfect" Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) for a "Jolly Holiday" as she magically turns every chore into a game and every day into a whimsical adventure. Along the way you'll be enchanted by unforgettable characters such as the multitalented chimney sweep Bert (Dick Van Dyke). Unpack Mary's magical carpetbag full of bonus features, including an all-new animated short, games, and a never-before-heard deleted song. You won't need "A Spoonful Of Sugar" to love every moment of this timeless Disney classic!

Mary Poppins follows the Banks children, two children who are unable to keep a nanny. After their last nanny, Katie Nana (who some might vaguely recognize as Elsa Lancaster, who once portrayed the Bride of Frankenstein in James Whale's movie of the same name) abruptly quits, the Banks family finds themselves desperately in need of a new nanny. It's through the shredded written request for a nanny, written by the Banks children that magically finds its way into Mary's hand, that leads them to the magical experience of knowing Mary Poppins. With Dick Van Dyke as Burt, Mary's longtime vagabond friend, Mary and the children embark on adventure after adventure as the children learn that there's more to life than just fun and games. The music of Mary Poppins makes the film truly enjoyable. From Julie Andrews teaching the children about work with "A Spoonful of Sugar" to Burt's lonely monologue about the chimney sweep profession, "Chim Chim Cheree", the music alone is worth the price of the DVD. Personally, some of the lessons I learned through the film as a child still pervade my thoughts today. "With every job that must be done, there is an element of fun" usually runs through my mind each time I face a difficult task. As such, I usually find that there is an element that I can find within each task that makes it easier to undertake. The film is one of Disney's best and, no doubt, will continue find new fans both young and old.
