perhaps disney be hop for another mary poppins but this be a very different story and while angela be delightful she be a very different performer to the great julie andrew . have say that lansbury be perfectly cast and deliver a magical performance . there be something deliciously dotty about her character and she be give wonderful support by david tomlinson . tomilinson can carry a tune but he be certainly not much chop a a singer . it do not matter he be such a gifted actor you hardly notice . there be some great cameo from much love star of another time like roddy mcdowel who give a winning performance and the much love tessie oshea who do very little but it nice to see the old gal again . it also lovely to see sam jaffe and the king of english television bruce forsythe in small role . the score have a couple of beautiful song especially the briny sea and the age of not believe . the big number portabello road be stretch to the limit but it have plenty of theatricality . the effect look a bit cliché today but the scene with the german invader be attack by the wild army in film be pretty impressive . the kid be not as annoy a other movie but one do struggle to understand what the young boy be say . i love the marching song of the home army . the home guard be very important to britain and this be a warm tribute . the animation be delightful and much good than pixar which i find grotesque . a warm happy film and it a wonder it not do on stage .
