mary poppins will overthrow capitalism

Pretty magical to rewatch these old movies through my daughter’s eyes. She doesn’t really understand any of the stuff with Mr. Banks and his bank. But she bursts into “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” at random times now and I wouldn’t trade singing along with her for all the tuppence in the world.

julie andrews is the prettiest person to walk this earth

VOTES FOR WOMEN (STEP IN TIME)

Capitalism is a failure of imagination.

you know what? i'm just gonna say it. mrs. banks is the highlight of this film

Part of Dastardly Difficult December: film nr.104

' Old Year's Day' is what we call the last day of the year here in Holland.

One of the things that goes hand in hand with this day is watching Mary Poppins.

And as I look around the room and see three generations of my family smiling, laughing, singing and being totally captivated by this tale of magic, fantasy and the beauty of childhood, I forget that I'm a cynical dick 90% of the time. There are only a handful of films that can achieve this and this one is probably the best example of them.

And Julie Andrews is a total babe.

Mary Poppins is definitely a top

Starring Julie Andrews as the perfect nanny in a musical, it’s hard not to compare this to The Sound of Music, which only came out a year later. While I personally prefer her other film, there’s no denying that Mary Poppins has an unforgettable charm. I love how unapologetic and self-centered Julie Andrews acts in this movie. Likewise, Dick Van Dyke plays two exaggerated but iconic roles.

“A wooden leg named Smith. A wooden leg...named Smith. A wooden le...💀”

It is more surreal and is filled with classic humor here and there. Although it’s shorter, some scenes did drag making the film feel a bit longer, especially scenes that I’d argue kids would enjoy more, or ones that hold a nostalgia towards this film (I wish that were me). With that being said, I cannot get these catchy songs out of my head. Someone help.

What if someone else used Mary Poppins’ tape measure that was the same height as her?? Wouldn’t it also say that- you know what? I won’t ruin the magic of this joyous musical masterpiece.

THOUGH WE ADORE MEN INDIVIDUALLY WE AGREE THAT AS A GROUP THEY'RE RATHER STUPID

Still a fantastic and well deserved classic, with just a few dated effects (but a lot that remain impressive) and one or two moments that could have hit the cutting room floor without much issue. But despite those miniscule quibbles, the film speeds by at impressive pace and is effortlessly charming throughout.

Who names a dog Andrew

Too long and this was the first time I noticed the (intentional??? I don't know) unfortunate racial connotations of the kids being scared of Bert when his face is blacked by soot. But just a delightful thing to watch despite it all. All of the adults kill it, but Andrews is a cut above.

Wait, you mean Dick Van Dyke is not British?!?!!

Charming but way too long

i quite like dick van dkye

Still as charming as it was in the 60s

This movie is practically perfect in every way

decided that i must prowl through all the ol' disney classics... i feel like it's sacrilege to rate this so low but i just didn't feel a whole lot! probably 'cause i didn't grow up with it. charming and whimsical but ultimately a lil episodic and thin for my tastes. lock me in the stockades boys

if you wanna see me cry just make me watch this
