Mary Poppins 50th Anniversary

My husband and I are so excited about Saving Mr. Banks – and the whole family was thrilled that Walt Disney’s  Mary Poppins 50th Anniversary  is being celebrated with a release from the Disney Vault! Disney’s classic shines for the first time on Blu-ray and just in time for holiday gift giving!  We already had this movie, but I must admit, we were really excited to upgrade from our VHS tape we were still watching! Our big kids have seen Mary Poppins but we had so much fun introducing Little Miss C to  “A Spoonful of Sugar” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” for the first time.  We love this family friendly classic and I bet  Mary Poppins is a movie experience your family will enjoy again and again too. An all-new digital restoration adds even more magic – helping bring the award-winning songs and amazing picture to life like never before. Share the music; share the magic; share the joy of Mary Poppins: 50th Anniversary Edition (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy)!

Some of the new fun features…..

• Mary-OKE’s – New piece highlights popular music from the film, specifically “Spoon Full of Sugar,” “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” Step In Time,” “Chim Chim Cher-ee” and allows viewer to sing-along to animated words that display onscreen in unique ways.
