Mary Poppins Celebrates 50 Years DVD Blu-ray Combo Pack Review #DisneyFrozenEvent

Screen Shot 2013-12-04 at 8.28.10 PMDisclosure: This event and trip to LA will be an all expense paid journey sponsored by Disney.  All thoughts, experiences and Disney character crushes are 100% my own!

In celebration of it’s 50 years of success as a classic, Disney is releasing the Mary Poppins: 50th Anniversary Edition on December 10th (you can pre-order on Amazon right now for $32.96)

My Mary Poppins memories go back to about 4th grade, which is when I think they showed this Disney classic at my grade school. What I remember most was wishing:

a) that MY toys would pick them selves up and jump in the toy box like the toys in the nursery
b) that a spoonful of sugar sounded really awesome
and wondering:
c) why on earth did those kids (who were about my age at the time that I was watching it) call their room a nursery, lol

Seeing it again as an adult, the magic is all still there, and watching my children watch this movie was such a joy. I loved sharing it with them! Mary Poppins is such a unique film because it has so many messages (and so many that I see now as an adult, that I surely didn’t catch as a child). But what I love most about the film is that it is a message about family and quality time.

Julie Andrews played a fabulous Mary Poppins, and Dick Van Dyke was amazing as Bert the Chimney Sweep, I don’t know of a better combination … these two definitely make magic happen in this film, with the singing and dancing, it’s fantastic. There are so many wonderful parts in this movie, and so many fabulous songs! Another of my all time favorite moments is the laughing scene featuring the song “I Love to Laugh” … my kids were in stitches and I just love the simple joy and happiness that comes out in this film!

When watching Mary Poppins again, after all of these years, the one thing that I really noticed was the relationship between Mary and Mr. Banks and really how they are really calling out his decision to kind of “ignore” his children. I don’t think my kids really picked up on this much, but the journey to him discovering this, is wonderful …and it results in some very special moments including the “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” number, which is heart warming and “lump in your throat” awesome. The end result is a wonderful film reminding us about how important quality time is, and just how far a little magic goes. It’s supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

About: “Practically Perfect In Every Way” Mary Poppins flies out of the windy London skies and into the home of two mischievous children. With the help of a carefree chimney sweep named Bert (Dick Van Dyke), the spirited nanny turns every chore into a game and every day into a “Jolly Holiday.” Share the music, share the magic, share the joy of Mary Poppins with a whole new generation for the first time on Disney Blu-ray.The movie received 13 Academy Award(R) nominations and won 5 Oscars(R) for Best Actress, Best Song, Best Music Score, Best Film Editing, and Best Special Visual Effects. It also received a special scientific award for the creation and application of Color Traveling Matte Composite Cinematography, which helped make the combination of live action and animated actors in the film possible.

I would love for you to read my review of the movie Frozen, my interview with Prince Hans (Santino Fontana), my attempt at “voicing Olaf” in the Disney recording studio, my interview with chimney sweep Pete Menefee from Mary Poppins, my behind the scenes look at The Making of Get A Horse!, my round up of Disney Frozen merchandise, my recap of my day at the Disney Animation Studios, my experience on the red (errr white) carpet at the world premiere of Frozen, and check out my interview with Kristen Bell (the voice of Anna!).
