- Synopsis
- A magical, musical nanny brings a breath of fresh air into the stuffy Banks household in turn-of-the-century England. Overstuffed with gaiety, this children's fantasy is filled to the brim with wonderful dance numbers and outrageous songs (such as the seemingly unpronounceable "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"). The film's seamless blending of live-action with animation was a marvel in its day. This is Andrews' film debut and Darwell's last film appearance. Academy Award Nominations: 13, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best (Adapted) Screenplay. Academy Awards: 5, including Best Actress--Julie Andrews, Best Original Score, Best Song ("Chim Chim Cher-ee"), Best Editing, Best Special Visual Effects. Gold Collection Edition features "Hollywood Goes to a World Premiere."

Description incorrect
Reviewed by Frank F on
I ordered this item. Raru's description and sleeve-picture state very clearly that it is the 45th anniversary 2 disc edition. However what they sent me is the very ordinary single-disc edition with no special features.
I already had this edition, so now I have two identical copies, but still no 2nd disc of anniversary content. We trust Raru to get the description correct but no. Very disappointing.
Anyone want to buy a single disc version of Mary Poppins cheap ?
