-Mary Poppins……Julie Andrews
-Bert………………Dick Van Dyke

Certificate - U
Running Time: 134mins

Jane and Michael are two slightly mischievous children from a strict middle class family in London. When yet another nanny quits due to the children's behaviours Jane and Michaels prayers are answered when Mary Poppins Magically arrives on their door step. Joined by Bert (Dick Van Dyke) the children and Mary Poppins have many adventures including a tea party on the ceiling and a horse race in a pavement picture. But for me the real magic comes from the classic songs including 'a spoon full of sugar'.

The 40th Anniversary Edition is a 2 Disc Special of the Award-Winning Film.

DVD Extras:
- BONUS SHORT:
- All-New animated Adventure hosted by Julie Andrews
- MUSIC & MORE:
- Musical Reunion featuring Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke & Richard Sherman (Songwriter)
- Deleted Song - Chimpanzoo
- Disney Song Collection
- GAMES & ACTIVITIES
- "I love to laugh" Set-top game
- BACKSTAGE DISNEY
- The Making of Mary Poppins
- Audio Commentary with stars from the film
- Poppins pop up fun facts

This DVD has seen the film Digitally Re-mastered & Restored with All New 5.1 Disney Enhanced Home Theatre Mix

I never really watched Mary Poppins when I was young; I was always a little scared of these films (scares from the child catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang). I brought this DVD for my flat mate and I found a love for this film that I had never experienced before. It (like Mary Popping) is Practically Perfect in every way. I am assured that this digitally re-mastered version enhances the original Mary Poppins experience.

My only criticism of this special edition DVD is that the special features on the DVD are quite had no navigate and it took me a while to find the making of documentary which I was eager to see.
The interviews with Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke are great as is the musical reunion.
