Let's get the embarrassing part out of the way first: I'd never seen this movie until my wife showed it to me this year. Let's get to the important part right away, because this is going to be a rather short review: This movie is, for all intents and purposes, flawless. Julie Andrews is a revelation.

One of my all-time favourite musicals. It is a very classic movie and Julie Andrews is truly the heart of it. The songs are catchy, the casting is perfect and the storyline is flawless. Could watch again and again.

It is ironic that whilst Walt Disney is probably best known for his animated features, if ever there was a film that best represents the qualities of a Disney film, it is this largely live-action film. Poppins has an episodic feel to it, but crucially these adventures are held together by a strong central plot and thematic core that elevate it to a higher level. It is the standard by which family films should be judged, providing a compelling…
