I have to admit that I find the real brilliance of the film is in the first act and things have wound down by the end, but what an entertainment sugar rush. Go to Full Review Joe Clay The Times (UK) 01/22/2024
Shot entirely indoors in a Hollywood fantasy version of late Victorian London, Disney’s evergreen family classic is arguably Walt Disney’s finest moment Go to Full Review Joshua Tyler Giant Freakin Robot Jun 23

alan G @agenser Jun 11 One of the all time great musical films. Stiil vibrant after all these years. The recent sequal pales in comparison. See more Jayden C @RT79235533 May 20 Mary Poppins is a film i grew up with an have a lot of appreciation for, i love the legendary actors in their youth and how well the animation gave me nostalgia for other famous cartoons. See more Beau L @beauluna May 18 One of my favorite movies ever! The nostalgia this brings on is so strong and sweet; every song is a joy to watch and every performance is stunning. The runtime does feel slightly hefty at times, but my attention was never lost. See more Adonis J @RT06083614 May 16 The songs are catchy and its a feel good kind of movie, it was nice. See more Kat S @Xiomara011 May 7 Mary Poppins is a film I really enjoy because it gives me a strong sense of nostalgia and reminds me of the shows and movies I watched as a child. I especially liked the way the plot unfolds and how the themes of family, imagination, and childhood wonder are woven throughout the story. The music, performances, and magical atmosphere make it a comforting and timeless classic that people of any age can enjoy watching. See more Kyle M @RT77296778 Apr 30 Throughout this classic, there are spoken words to describe this extraordinary, wonderfully grand musical with qualities that are distinctively Disney apart from the fading genre when its imaginative perfection is the storytelling with memorably loving tunes attributing to the branded peak. It boasts a delightful heart for all ages, with Andrews’s titularly nuanced character being the soulful heart while Van Dyke’s signature spirit perfectly complements in balancing the deliverance with fun tour-de-force.
