I have not received the DVD. When I try to make contact with the seller through email, the email address is "no longer available."

A long-time favoritel; a classic. Have always wanted to own this movie and am nothing less than ecstatic! Many thanks!!!!

This is just as charming as it was when I first saw it many years ago!!!
It was the part of London close to my home.

Released in `64 `Mary Poppins' is without question one of the most beloved movies in Disney's vast vault of wonderful family film classics. I was twelve years old when `Mary Poppins' made its theatrical debut and I must admit that I immediately fell madly in love with Julie Andrews. Obviously I wasn't the only one considering the fact that Julie Andrews won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of the magical nanny.

This film is what family entertainment is all about; singing, dancing, cute kids, attractive nurturing adults, a zany but lovable character here and there and a heavy dose of enchantment and childish wonder. This is definitely a keeper by all means.

Mary Poppins is one of those incredible movies that, like The Sound of Music (Two-Disc 40th Anniversary Special Edition), practically everyone has seen. (And if you haven't seen it yet, I HIGHLY recommend that you do!)
Julie Andrews, like her good friend Audrey Hepburn (who won Best Actress in her screen debut for 1953's Roman Holiday (Special Collector's Edition)) also won Best Actress (in her screen debut) for 1964's Mary Poppins.
In this fabulous 2-disc 40th Anniversary Special Edition DVD, it goes through the story of the whole ordeal that Walt Disney went through to be able to make Mary Poppins. It seems the author of the books , P.L. Travers, didn't want to sell the rights. But after 20+ years of persistence, Walt Disney finally received therights to film what we now know as "Mary Poppins".
Ever since I was about three I have been fascinated by Julie Andrews, throughout the whole movie, but especially in the "Just a Spoonful of Sugar" number. Who wouldn't give anything to just snap their fingers and clean their room? Oh...and if you watch the movie enough, you'll be able to say "Supercalifragelisticexpealidocious" backwards (it happened to me!).

Have a "Jolly Holiday" with the "Practically Perfect" Mary Poppins!

Although I knew all the songs as a child, I do not recall every actually seeing this movie. (I think I saw it performed as part of Disney on Parade.., does anyone remember that?).

So what a delight to watch this DVD with my own kids. All the songs I remember, and a simple if enjoyable storyline.

As a father myself now, the tale of Mr. Banks placing his work before his family is a cautionary one for all working parents.

Pay close attention to the old man at the bank..., it's actually Dick Van Dyke!

This is Julie Andrew signature role, and it is great to see a move without explosions or violence, just fantasy and fun.

Highly Recommended!

Cheers!

Mary Poppins is a Walt Disney classic. Julie Andrews plays the title role and she won an Oscar for her flawless performance. Andrews is pure delight, wish I had a nanny like her as a youngster. Dick Van Dyke is a gem as well, great songs and dance numbers. Mary Poppins is a family treasure to be enjoyed over and over again. I highly recommend it.

I bought this for my 5 year-old daughter as a Christmas present. It has been remastered, and the visual and audio upgrades are great. A wonderful addition to any Disney video collection.

I love this movie from when I was a little kid, so I have bought it so my children can enjoy it two.

I loved Mary Poppins when I was young, my daughter was absolutely taken with it when she was 2, and now my granddaughter watches it at least three times a day. This movie is magical classic.

As a product of 60's Disney films, I purchased the DVD after my 8 year old son and 11 year old daughter went to see the Broadway production of "Mary Poppins". The kids started watching it immediately and I loved listening to them sing my favorite songs from the movie. Ten days later on a rainy Sunday we popped it in the DVD player as a family and watched it on the big HDTV in the living room.

I was amazed at the color, the skin tones and the digital remix of the score. I felt just as excited as the first time I saw it, was shocked at Dick Van Dyke's blue eyes, the creamy complexion of Julie Andrews and the sheer fun of this movie.

And my technie kids loved the story - "T'uPence never fails to make them sad about the pigeons at St. Mark's Square and I love that as a mother I'm sharing some of my own childhood.

PS - my son wants to be a chimney sweep!

I wasn't raised as a Disney kid, so I was only peripherally aware of this film growing up, maybe saw some of it on TV a time or two, but never in the movie theatres or from start to finish.

Recently, however, my kid and I read the first four "Mary Poppins" books and were thoroughly charmed by their odd, acerbic humor. So I thought, hmmmm, maybe we should try the movie as well, even though I knew, vaguely, that the Julie Andrews MP was much different than the mysterious faerie-nanny we had come to know from the books. Although the Disney Poppins isn't entirely sugary-sweet, she is much more benevolent and feel-good than the grouchy, cross nanny in the books. Also, though I love Dick Van Dyke dearly, having his character Bert in the film from start to finish is a big change (Bert only appears in two or three stories in the books) and he often overwhelms the rest of the film. The Banks family is also greatly altered - instead of a spaced-out humbug, the father becomes a foreboding, socially retrograde prig, while the mother (also a space cadet in the books) is made more sympathetic, a foil for the crabby dad. (And the interjection of her being politically active, as a voting rights suffragette, seems oddly out of place: the books were never about the parents, and they are made much more central here...)

There is some innovative animation and creative, imaginative visualizing of the story, but far too many alterations and new material created out of whole cloth to suit a "Mary Poppins" purist, which I guess I am. Since we love the books so much, I previewed this film alone, and I think I'll hold off for a few years before we give it a whirl as a family: I really think it would ruin the magic of the Travers text, and replace it with something much simpler, much cheaper, and far less wondrous.

This movie is just amazing. I feel everybody should watch this film, IN FACT i just sat down with my friend who had not watched it a few months ago and made her! If you like this movie, I would also recommend "the sound of music".The Sound of Music (Two-Disc 40th Anniversary Special Edition)

ONE OF MY FAVORITE JULIE ANDREWS MOVIES. SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE, A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR, AND A WONDERFUL DISPOSITION. THE ENTIRE CAST IS TERRIFIC!! I BELIEVE THIS WELL BE A CLASSIC FOREVER!!

Now that I have a young child, I wanted to make sure he grew up with the same classics I did. Mary Poppins is a timeless classic with some of the greatest songs for childhood.

Seeing this movie as an adult brought back nostalgic memories of childhood. It gave me a new lease on life while I watched it and much to look back on in my life. Like my mother's arm around me as we watched it together, my father laughing at it so hard he started choking, etc. It's a movie I'll cherish to the rest of my life and one I'll proudly show any grandchildren I get. There'll never be another Walt Disney, that's for sure!

Every child should see this movie. The songs are wonderful and fun to sing with your child.

I loved this movie as a child. Now mine loves it as well. Great movie!

My three year old boy loves this movie. What is not to love about Mary Poppins? The dancing, the singing, he loves it. I found the movie very entertaining to watch. There is also a pop up feature so you can read about interesting facts about the making of the movie, the characters, etc. That is very interesting. There are some tidbits about Walt Disney's participation. There are two DVDs and I've yet to see what is on disc 2. I highly recommend.

Great movie! It was so nice to be able to get this somewhere. My sister loved this as a child and really wanted to get it for Christmas this year.

This was a Christmas gift, so thank you for the quick delivery and excellent condition. Merry Christmas!

Purchase your copy of Mary Poppins before it goes in the Disney vault! This is a beautiful classic that young children will watch over and over again. When my youngest was in the hospital years ago, I used to sing him the songs from the movie as his IVs were being put in and it was the only thing that would soothe him. Highly recommend it for boys and girls 2 years old and up.

This product was sent in a timely fashion and I was very pleased with its quality.

As a ten year old boy at the theater I was mesmerized buy this wonderful movie. I remember feeling so excited and thinking this is the greatest film of all time. As an adult, I reconnect with that child's enthusiasm every time I see Mary Poppins, although the attraction I felt for Julie Andrews is better understood. There are not enough adjectives to describe it but enchanting stands out. Unforgettable and a touch of true magic from Disney. Julie Andrews will always be frozen in time for me and what a fantastic treasure she is.

Disney's Mary Poppins is an amazing movie. Back in its day, no one had ever really seen animated characters dancing alongside real humans, and Disney made this possible. Mary Poppins has stood the test of time, making it a Disney Classic, and for many years to come. This movie is excellent for the young, and young at heart. The tunes get your feet tapping and you sing the songs, and when it's over, you want to watch it all over again(or buy the CD)! This is a great movie for the whole family, brought to you by Disney.

Who doesn't love this movie. I bought it as a gift for my grandmother who just adores it.

During the 90's Disney flicks were lame, drippy musicals. This is not the case with Mary Poppins. The songs are still fresh and vibrant. As a whole this is the most re-watchable musical flick ever, so I'm happy to have it in DVD. Highly recommended to adults, even those that were put off Disney by "The Little Mermaid" and the rest of the Eisner era dreck-to-theater.

However, I have to admit that from a technical point of view, Mary Poppins shows its age. The blend between humans and cartoons is not that good, so you have to try harder to keep your disbelief suspended.

Anyway, it has great nostalgic value for me. Perhaps kids might like it, too... I'll show it to my little nephews and tell you later.

I don't need to mention anything about this movie. If you are reading this, you already know this is a great movie. All I can say is that my whole family enjoyed watching this movie again.

The extras are excellent. Though, the Mary Poppins "short movie" was average. I did enjoy seeing the red carpet arrivals when it was first released as well as a much older Dick Van Dyke trying to dance to the movie's signature tune.

If you do not own Mary Poppins on DVD, you should immediately buy this.

it's perfect... i've always wanted to have this dvd!
thank you!


hey! i'm looking for yentl and fantasia too.... is you have it would you please let me know?!

thanks again!

Mary Poppins, what else needs to be said. My children, who claim to be too cool for this old film, thoroughly enjoyed it.

There can be no better way than bring brightness to life than watching Disney's Mary Poppins. The cast could not have been selected better and the music is enchanting (sing along words are included in this dvd) The story takes us back to glory days of the Empire and is a great lesson about kindness and empathy. Great as a family film or for anyone.
This particular dvd set has excellent colour and clarity. A must purchase for anyone who loves musicals.

We here at home love this 40th anniversary edition of the film, Mary Poppins! It is spectacular! I adored the books when I was a child. My older sons loved the original Disney movie on video, and this DVD is being watched with the greatest delight by my younger children! With good reason! Even though this is an extremely long movie by present standards, it moves right along, is packed with fantastic, classic songs, amusing scenes, and even touching, poignant parts which will move you, zinging straight to your heart.
Julie Andrews, who rightfully won an Oscar for her role as the magical nanny who appears at "just the right moment" at the door of the discombobulated British Banks' family's household, teaches the children and their parents as well a thing or two about how to live properly. It's complicated to say what "living properly" means, exactly, unless you watch the movie...It has much to do with having fun as you do things you ought to be doing. It has to do with caring for other people's feelings, and also for taking a day off when you are least expecting to and having a fantastic adventure! The songs "Spoonful of Sugar", " Let's Go Fly a Kite", "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", "Feed the Birds," and Chim-Chimminee" are all so famous and so beloved it is quit easy to call up their tunes at a moment's notice, I expect. If you haven't heard them lately, I suggest you get a copy of this really well done 40th anniversary edition and relive the first time, or times, you saw this movie. It is touching, and charming. Dick Van Dyke is fantastic as the appealing foil to Julie Andrews' character. You can tell Mary Poppins adores him in his character (Bert, the chimney sweep) but must maintain her ladylike character -- it is truly sweet. Another charming and superbly played part is that of Ed Wynn's in the scene which includes the song "I Love to Laugh". That is a great scene in every way! Incredible!

The children and their family are beautifully cast; the ups and downs are believable, and easily coax you into caring about the plot. The movie is extremely well rounded. There is dancing, singing, and fantasy galore. I cannot recommend this 40th anniversay version of Mary Poppins highly enough. I don't care how old you are! You will love this movie!

I needed this movie asap for a friend and her children before they moved. It arrived when you said it would. The 40th anniv edition is wonderful--according to my friend!

Awesome buy it today. You can't go wrong. It is more suited for 8 plus year olds. Enjoy the music is awesome and there is still taught manners and respect which is hard to find these days in children's viedoes.
