"A spoonful of sugar helps medicine go down, in the most delightful way"
Jane and Michael just scared off another nanny and their parents are looking for someone new that will actually stick around. Jane and Michael have sorted out their own guidelines for the new nanny and Mary Poppins fits the description perfectly. According to them she’s “kind, witty, very sweet and very pretty.” They start off thinking she’s nothing special but in the matter of a few hours they see how magical she really is.
Mary Poppins takes the kids on adventures through paintings, rooftops and songs. She just wants their parents to see what wonderful kids they are and to appreciate them a bit more. We never learn much about Mary herself just that she’s “practically perfect.” Mary is loving but firm and helps the kids and their parents’ bond flourish.
This is a very enchanting film and I was amazed at the special effects, they were corny but really good. Sadly Mary doesn’t stick around for long. Seems this was a mission she was sent out for and once it was complete she’s on her way. Her goal was to reunite the kids with their parents because the kids were becoming unappreciated and their father’s work was the only thing on his mind. The movie ends on a happy note, with summer on its way and parents outside with their children.
