I literally thought Julie Andrews was an angel when I was younger. Now I know she's actually human, but she is still my idol.

After watching Saving Mr. Banks, this got 10 times more awesome!

I just love Julie Andrews. She just exudes class and elegance.

I love love love Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke! they have amazing chemistry in the movie. I cant imagine anyone else playing their parts.

If Travers had given Walt the rights to the book straight away, Julie Andrews would never have been cast in the lead role and the Sherrman brothers would never have written those amazing songs....

God Julie Andrews is so stunning. She is perfection, class, hell she IS Mary Poppins!

Mary Poppins is one if the most beautiful films ever made. Walt Disney was, is and will be the greatest and most imaginative film maker the world ever produced.

It's amazing how, as a child, this film exudes pure magic and enjoyment. And as you grow older the film has such a melancholic feel to it. A part of that is probably down to the fact that many of the cast members have now passed away, and that it was made in a golden age long gone.

But thankfully some of the cast (and production) are still alive and kicking, which is wonderful. Such a very special film. Thank you to all involved. In particular, Mr Walt Disney.

The author of the book this was based on P.L.Travers was an adviser in the production, but she disapproved of the Poppins character in its Disney version, with harsher aspects diluted; she felt ambivalent about the music; and she so hated the use of animation that she ruled out any further adaptations of the series. She received no invitation to the film's star-studded première until she "embarrassed a Disney executive into extending one". At the after-party, she said loudly "The first thing that has to go is the animation sequence'." Disney replied, "Pamela, the ship has sailed", and walked away.

Mary Poppins is in my heart since I was a child :D

I am a cancer survivor , the old classic movies mean so much to me.

Fun fact walt disney wanted Julie andrews to play mary poppins but she was about to give birth so walt told her they'd lait to start filming

I saw "Saving Mr. Banks" as we'll and I was shocked at how hard it was for them to make this movie.

Now I keep nerding out about "Mary Poppins" and my friends think its weird how much I know about "Mary Poppins".

Travers was just a traumtised child, because of her father was an alcoholist. Instead of overcoming this trauma, she created the story of Mary Poppins. Because of this trauma, it was hard to work with her. She was the only one who should understand the story, because she created the story. Disney on the other hand, wanted to make the story the way he always made movies; the magical Disney way.

Julie Andrews is such a beautiful lady! and Dick Van Dyke is just a charming as can be!

P.L Travers hated the movie so much that during the Premier, she walked out crying.
I for one loved the movie and still do.

just saw Saving Mr. Banks... Quite wonderful. Emma Thompson is outstanding!
Who ever can tell the pains a person like Walt Disney took in bringing this movie/books to life! A very big THANKS to him that we got to watch & cherish such a delightful movie!!!!

My favorite Disney movie is Mary Poppins

When Walt Disney passed away in late 1966,Disney Productions lost a truly creative head.For the next five years Walt's brother Roy ran the company and lived to see the opening of Florida's Walt Disney World.Family members are still among the heads of the company,but it hasn't been the same.These days,it's DEFINITELY not the same!

I remember when my sister told me that due to Julie Andrews'  throat surgery she won't  sing the same way again, and I said "I don't believe that! I believe that if you want something bad enough, anything is possible!"
