Mary Poppins

Mary Poppins’ mixture of live action and animation, together with the exceptional songs from Robert and Richard Sherman, provides a thoroughly entertaining movie spectacle. Julie Andrews’s Oscar-winning performance as the title character is exceptional and Dick Van Dyke’s Bert, the chimney sweep, is equally stunning (despite that comical cockney accent). Andrew Duncan has put together a very enjoyable symphonic suite of music from the film including Chim chim cher-ee; Feed the birds, Let’s go fly a kite, A spoonful of sugar, Sister Suff ragette and the inimitable Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
