This is a really great all around movie. The theatrical workmanship and detail is triple A1. I am sure that countless people have already used the picture’s own specially created “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” word to compliment it, so for me to also do that now would be a bit of a cliche. So I will just say it in a regular way: from cover to cover, every piece of it is very, very good.

Even more valued though is the presentation’s awesome message: parents must have and show a serious interest in their children. This message is very timely for us today where modern society has sharply degraded the importance of even having children in the first place. When people do decide to have children, they often delay it untill much latter in life, keep the number of children to just one or two, and have relatively very limited time to spend with them.

Therefore, it is really great that in the early 1960s — when these sociological trends were beginning — “Mary Poppins” came out with its message of the importance of meaningful attention to children.
