I imagine that any of you who have read one of my other reviews are scratching your head trying to figure out exactly what I'm up to this time. I LIKE MARY POPPINS! There, I said it. I have always been a fan of musicals and this is my favorite. Released by Walt Disney Pictures in 1964, it stars Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke in the story of a nanny who is not all she appears to be.
I like this film because it is good, wholesome entertainment, the songs are cute (The music and lyrics were written by Richard and Robert Sherman), the special effects are some of Disney's finest for the time, it re-installs family values and I really want to have sex with Julie Andrews. Did Sigmund Freud ever say anything about Nannies?
Directed by Robert Stevenson with the screenplay by Bill Walsh (not the guy from "America's Most Wanted") and Don DaGradi based on the "Mary Poppins" series of books by P. L. Travers, it truly is a good film (that twisted Julie Andrews thing aside). It is one of those movies that epitomizes the old Disney spirit. It is as impossible to have a bad time watching this movie as it is to play a sad song on a banjo. If you're having a bad day, watch "Mary Poppins". If you just broke up, watch "Mary Poppins". If your dog just died, watch "Mary Poppins". If you're bleeding to death, call an ambulance retard! So if you people out there in movie land ever get tired of drugs, guns and chainsaws, Mary's always easy to find.
P.S. If I was 40 years older, music would be the only sound alive in the hills, sha boing boing baby!
