Description

After a banker's children lose their nanny due to her frustration with them, a change in the wind blows in a magical nanny who matches the children's qualifications, but not those of their very proper father. As Mary Poppins helps the children magically explore the world around them, their father grows increasingly disapproving of her methods, and he must eventually deal with his own distance from his children.

Mary Poppins is a classic. Even if it was made nearly fifty years ago it's still a great movie for people of all ages. The story is timeless. I particularly enjoy how the movie promotes imagination and exploration which is important for kids. I think this movie is fitting for kids, teens and

Edwardian children get a magic nanny.

They sing and dance, then they sing, then they dance, then they sing some more, then Dick Van Dyke might do something funny, then they sing and dance... and so on.
