Thoughts on Mary Poppins?

One of my favorite movies, and my favorite musical. It’s the purest encapsulation of Disney magic and enchantment, filled with joy and thorough entertainment value, and even as long as it is feels like such a breeze. It’s so beautiful as well, the effects and the musical sequences are absolutely delightful (“Step In Time” is one of the most deliriously enjoyable musical numbers in film), and I still get caught up in the “Jolly Holiday” segment. And it goes without saying, but the songs and score are amazing. As is the cast, especially Andrews who’s as practically perfect as her character, and Van Dyke (choppy accent and all) an irrepressible ray of sunshine.

Thoughts on it? And are you looking forward to Mary Poppins Returns?
