MARY POPPINS 50th Anniversary Edition arrives on Disney Blu-ray Combo Pack December 10th! “Step in Time” with the trailer here:
Why do I care? First, Disney is working on a movie right now called “Saving Mr. Banks” which tells the story of how Walt Disney (played by Tom Hanks) convinced author P.L. Travers (Emma Thompson) to give the studio the rights to her novel, “Mary Poppinsago.
Second, when I visited San Francisco this past April, we visited the Disney Family Museum and saw actual photographs of the opening night of this movie with Walt Disney and Julie Andrews. I had goosebumps.
Lastly, this was my son’s first big Broadway play. I had to bribe him to go, and 2 minutes in he was mesmerized. But this is about me. I unexpectedly, after not having seen the movie in years, found myself crying every time Mary Poppins sang on stage. I guess I had some childhood happy memories to deal with!
Disclosure: I received no compensation for this post.
Awww..good times.
I love Mary Poppins and I am SUPER excited about Saving Mr. Banks!! That’s awesome about your son!! đŸ™‚ Very nice memory!
I used to adore Mary Poppins as a kid how exciting its being brought out on blu ray! x
I loved watching Mary Poppins when I was young. I am looking forward to adding this to my Disney collection.
<3 Mary Poppins! I still walk around the house singing "A Spoon Full of Sugar" and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"
I am super excited for this. My daughter is going to love her.
Mary Poppins in my moms very favorite movie. How fun that it’s being re-released. Hmmm…perhaps I’ll pick up a copy as a gift for her
This is such a classic movie. Great that it’s coming out on Disney Blu-ray Combo Pack
