When Walt Disney first presented Mary Poppins to spellbound audiences, it represented both a crowning personal achievement and a standard-setting cinematic breakthrough. Winner of five Academy Awards, including Best Actress (Julie Andrews), Best Song ("Chim Chim Cher-ee") and Best Visual Effects, Mary Poppins became one of the greatest films ever made!

High above the dawn clouds over London, "practically perfect" Mary Poppins floats out of the sky and into the lives of two playfully mischievous children. With the help of the carefree chimney sweep named Bert (Dick Van Dyke), the spirited nanny makes every chore a game and every day a "Jolly Holiday." But, after they leap into the imaginative world of a sidewalk chalk drawing, visit a hilarious floating tea party, and join a rooftop song and dance, it may take more than "A Spoonful of Sugar" to cheer up the childrens' precise and disapproving father!
