Abstract: This film clocks in at 2 hours and 20 minutes and is a wonderful mixture of live action and animation starring Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins (who won an Oscar for the role) and Dick VanDyke as her clownish, charming beau. The songs are also terrific, ranging from bright and cheery ("A Spoonful of Sugar") to dark and cheery (the Oscar-winning "Chim Chim Cher-ee") to touchingly melancholy ("Feed the Birds"). Many consider Mary Poppins to be the crowning achievement of Walt Disney's career--and it was the only one of his features to be nominated for a best picture Academy Award until Beauty and the Beast in 1991.
