i love this masterpiece and quite frankly i and too found mary poppins ( although i love julie andrew and dick vandyke ) to be silly and sacrine sweet . angela lansbury play her character to perfection and i do not know why people think of this film a distort . it be magical and it be lot of fun to watch . every scene hold a certain charm a you get to know the character well . you truly see how this little thrown together family learn to bond with each other and despite their age and difference . i think the character be well develop and especially charles who be at the age of not believe . mary poppins may be more popular and cherish by others but this little gem will be the one that i will always love and cherish .
