Mary Poppins (review)
I was dragged to see a re-release of this (early 80’s?) with female cousins as a young child and HATED IT, made worse by how much they enjoyed it. This is the first full watch since.
Disney+
Some great great songs (and some weaker ones, there are so many)
Main roles of Mary, Bert and Mr Banks are brilliantly performed (child actors are good too)
The dance sequence with the sweeps on the rooftops
Innovative blends of animation and live action and cinematic tricks that must have seemed like magic themselves in the 1960s
Disney-
If this was made now it would be @30 minutes shorter with weaker scenes cut or shortened to tighten it up, In my humble opinion this would improve it.
Rating 7/10 obviously a classic with the most obvious message for misguided parents everywhere. We found it not that easy a watch now if you don’t have an earlier affection for it.
