"First of all I would like to make one thing perfectly clear... I never explain anything." - Mary Poppins

Why watch this? This timeless Disney classic will leave a big smile on your face.

Plot Summary: In Edwardian London, two mischievous children, Jane and Michael Banks, are in need of a new nanny. Their stern father and busy mother struggle to find someone who can manage them. Unexpectedly, the magical Mary Poppins arrives, bringing order and delight into their lives through songs and fantastical adventures. With her help, and alongside her good friend Bert, the children learn valuable lessons and the family begins to rediscover the importance of joy and connection.

Dad's Preview: In my youth, I avoided this film like the plague. Then my son's high school put on its production and I am happy to admit that I finally get it. It's not just a pointless series of catchy tunes, dance routines, and cartoon-inserted penguins. It has a wonderful, poignant story. For you see, it is not really about Miss Poppins and the children - I will let you figure the rest out on your own. I highly suggest viewing the wonderful film Saving Mr. Banks (2013), for more insight.
