Mary Poppins

Pros: Very fun and good for all ages

Cons: ToooOoo LONG!

Review: I have always loved Mary Poppins and I still do. I tend to watch it A LOT...I love the movie and it's just plain awesome, but, it does tend to get a bit boring towards the end I never seem to watch or want to watch the ending. If the movie wouldn't...

Pros: music, magic, engrossing for kids

Cons: slightly slow in places

Review: Back in 1964, not many women worked full time. Nannies like Mary Poppins, yes, widows like the cooks at the Banks' house, yes. Married women with kids, no. The book of Mary Poppins is similar to the movie, and the larks they have are present there...

Pros: imaginative

Cons: ended to soon

Review: I have always loved Mary Poppins and now I'm happy to say that my 2 year old daughter also loves it. I bought it for Christmas and she has been watching almost everyday.
I love the music throughout the movie. I especially love Julie Andrews in...

Pros: A heart warming fantasy

Cons: none

Review: I remember going to the drive in and watching this movie when it first came out. I fell in love with it then, and I have loved it ever since. The story starts with two terrible (?) children who have run off every nanny their mother has hired for...

Pros: nice long movie to keep the kids occupied while I clean, fun story, lots of songs and action and a great spoof on the Simpsons

Cons: can be long and hard for small children to stay focused

Review: I love this movie for so many reasons - one being it's 2 1/2 hours long and actually holds the attention of all my children aged 2 to 11. that's time to mop floors, make a shopping list, scrub toilets and start dinner.

Next it has one of my...

Pros: Great Characters, Memorable Songs, Heartwarming Classic

Cons: Lengthy

Review: What a magical musical Mary Poppins is! Would you believe it somehow escaped my childhood? I just saw it for the first time a year ago, and now have the video. Boy, I was missing out on some wonderful Disney fun. Julie Andrews, as always, is superb...

Pros: Lively, fun, and innocent--qualities desperately needed today

Cons: None. Children may have to be trained to watch something, good, but. . .

The Bottom Line: Mary Poppins is an innocent world full of magic and music. We should visit that world whenever we can.

Review: As an elementary teacher and mother, the news of the newest school shootings certainly hits me as hard as anyone. Just days ago, a middle school student here was arrested for threatening classmates. What better time to offer my unashamed,...

Pros: Family First in the End

Cons: It could never happen

The Bottom Line: See this movie before you have children and then watch it with your children.

Review: This is my four-year old daughter Sophie's absolute favorite movie. She wants to watch the video at least once a day. She would watch it more if I let her. She sings along and even recites some dialog. This movie is also great for parents because it...

Pros: Wonderfully uplifting musical!

Cons: The mother is a very sub-servient

The Bottom Line: Excellent for everyone. Younger children will love the musical/magical qualities. Older children and adults will also love the story line. A great family movie.

Review: I was searching for a movie to buy as a Valentine's gift for my 4-yr old granddaughter, Morgan, when I spotted Mary Poppins...I couldn't believe it was still being produced! What memories that movie brings back. As I stood there, staring at it in...

Pros: Mary Poppins... she's so cool!!... impressive animation, storyline, songs

Cons: a little bit slow and boring at the end for kids... but in the end it make up for it I guess with a nice sweet "moral of the story" type thing.

Review: As a kid everyone must wish that all adults could be as cool as Mary Poppins. And she was a very cool lady indeed.
Jane and Michael, the two children in Mary Poppins have been going through Nannies like it's going out of style. Each and...
