Summary: A family employ a new nanny who brings a breath of fresh air to the household in turn-of-the-century England.

A magical, musical nanny brings a breath of fresh air into the stuffy Banks household in turn-of-the-century England. Overstuffed with gaiety, this children's fantasy is filled to the brim with wonderful dance numbers and outrageous songs (such as the seemingly unpronounceable 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'). The film's seamless blending of live-action with animation was a marvel in its day. This is Andrews' film debut and Darwell's last film appearance. Academy Award Nominations: 13, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best (Adapted) Screenplay. Academy Awards: 5, including Best Actress--Julie Andrews, Best Original Score, Best Song ('Chim Chim Cher-ee'), Best Editing, Best Special Visual Effects. Gold Collection Edition features 'Hollywood Goes to a World Premiere'.

This took me back - & I'm sure most of us have seen it so many times we don't need the sound on/can fast forward and still know all that's happening. What I liked about this edition were the extra bits of information, starting with details about PL Travers (the author), that popped up during the film. I'm not sure I'd want them every time I watched, but it was better than having all the facts thrust at you in a "Bonus Feature" tagged on the end.
