Based on the novels Mary Poppins and Mary Poppins Comes Back, by P.L. Travers, first published in 1934 and 1935, respectively.
The Banks family's last nanny quit and they're looking for a new one to take care of their two kids. Mary Poppins applies. She has eccentric methods and habits, such as flying.
Agreeable musical fantasy. The mood is light, the songs are nice, the choreography is interesting. The plot and characters include airhead suffragettes and cold capitalism, but the problems they cause are eventually solved by sheer goodwill.
