Mary Poppins

The absolute classic from 1964, Mary Poppins, is a great movie for those out there wishing to reconnect with their childhood days, or for the new generations as a first-time experience. Now also an on-stage production and musical, Mary Poppins is one that literally has touched the lives of almost everyone.

Another great Walt Disney film, it follows the story of Mary Poppins, played by Julie Andrews, a magical nanny who visits a dysfunctional family in London and uses her distinctive view on life as a means to help the family be whole and happy. Mary forms a strong bond with the children of the family, showing them the world with her magical and interesting friends, taking the children on adventures they would never have dreamed of. They befriend an old associate of Mary’s, Bert, who throughout the movie takes on a number of jobs, including the chalk artist and, most famously, the chimney sweep.

Packed full of laughs, friendship, song and dance, this film will no doubt put a smile on your face and lift your spirits, wherever you are. This movie is perfect for the kids (and the adults too!), and I rate it a 10/10 because it is an impeccable all-rounder.
