Description
Mary Poppins is a magical family film that follows the Banks family in London. Mr. George Banks, a strict and overworked father, and his wife Winifred struggle to care for their mischievous children, Jane and Michael. The children are constantly causing trouble and feeling neglected, as their parents are preoccupied with work and social obligations.
In desperate need of a new nanny, the Banks family gets an unexpected visitor - Mary Poppins, a whimsical and practically perfect governess with magical abilities. She transforms the children’s lives by introducing them to a world of wonder, adventure, and important life lessons. Through her imaginative activities, such as flying with an umbrella, visiting animated chalk drawings, and helping the children learn the value of kindness, Mary Poppins brings joy and balance to the household.
Alongside her is Bert, a cheerful chimney sweep who becomes the children’s trusted friend. Together, they embark on a series of adventures that teach the Banks family about love, responsibility, and the importance of nurturing each other.
As Mary Poppins works her magic, she helps Mr. Banks rediscover the importance of family and play, ultimately bringing the family closer together.
With music from the incredible Sherman Brothers including "A Spoonful of Sugar", "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", "Chim Chim Cher-ee", and "Feed the Birds''.
