Mary Poppins

 Hey everyone, I hope you all are having a good summer so far! 

I decided to write about one of my favorite movies Mary Poppins! It stars the Beautiful Julie Andrews and the amazing Dick Van Dyke. 

Before the Mary Poppins Story and the Movie begins we first meet one of the Main characters in the story Dick Van Dykes Character.

 Pay close attention to him you will see him a lot in the story, his name is Bert and he is a very close friend of Mary Poppins, he also is the narrator in the beginning of the movie. He tells you about the Banks family and where they live. He also sings and dances in the beginning of the story, he is a very fun person and character.

The story starts off in Edwardian London, the season is spring and the year is 1910 and George is just returning to his home at number 17 Cherry Tree Lane and he learns from his wife Winifred that the nanny they hired for their children named Katie Nanna has decided to leave after their children Jane and Micheal have run away for the fourth time that week.

George telephones the police and while he is on the telephone the doorbell rings and Winifred tells him that it is the police at the door his name is Constable Jones and they learn from him that the children were chasing their kite and they tell their father that it is not a very stable kite,they ask their father if he can help them build a more stable kite and he turns them away,

George puts it upon himself to hire the nanny this time and he decides to put out an advertisement for a stern no-nonsense nanny. 

The kids want to help their parents look for a nanny so they do their own advertisement for a kinder and sweeter nanny. 

George doesn't want to hear their advertisement and Winifred is trying to keep the peace between everyone and once they hear their kids advertisement George sends the kids off to bed and he rips up their advertisement and throws it in the furnace, then a strong wind entices the fragments through the chimney and into the air.

Here comes the fun part, we are about to meet Mary Poppins, one of the stars of the movie! She brings happiness and Joy! 

Before Mary Poppins arrives, we say a number of Older and Elderly and not very happy nannies waiting outside the Banks home for one of the people who works in the banks home named Ellen to show them all in. 

All of a sudden there is a strong wind that blows all the nannies waiting to be interviewed for the job gets blown away,Jane and Micheal witness someone in the sky and that is magical to them and she is using her umbrella for her transportation in the sky. 

She arrives at the house and introduces herself to Mr.Banks saying her name is Mary Poppins she produces the kids advertisement from the furnace and agrees with all the things presented on the advertisement, she promises Mr.Banks that she will be firm with his kids and Mr, Banks is still puzzled about how the advertisement returned from the furnace and is half-listening to Mary Poppins. 

 Mary Poppins decides to hire herself for being the kids new nanny and convinces herself  that it was Mr, Banks that hired her for the job. 

So she tells Mr. Banks that she is going to go see the kids and introduce herself to them and once she goes to Mary Jane and Micheal the kids are excited and shocked to see her because they have never had a nanny like her, you will see what Mary Poppins does with Mary Jane and Micheal while she is getting to know them and she gets herself settled into her new room and job.

 The first task she does with the kids is tidy up the nursery by magically snapping her fingers and she sings a song while they are tidying up the nursery you will see what song it is when you watch the movie.

 You will also see all the adventures the kids and Mary Poppins and Bert all go on together, they are all exciting  and fun adventures, and Mary Poppins teaches Mary Jane and Micheal a few things about life and Manners and how much their parents love them. 

They learn a few things when they are with bert too.Mary Poppins and Bert are wonderful friends! You will see what their friendship is like when you watch the movie it is filled with joy and laughter 

I decided to write about this movie today because I really enjoy musicals and I have always enjoyed Mary Poppins, and the story and all the songs they are fun to sing along too while watching the movie! 

Julie Andrews does an outstanding Job playing her,she brings her to life and makes you think that Mary is a real person and makes you wish that you could have her as a nanny! 

She is loving,kind and caring and really cares about Jane and Micheal! Dick Van Dyke really brings Bert to life, he sings and dances just like Mary Poppins always has a smile on his face!

 I saw a Mary Poppins on Broadway when I was eleven years old with my mom in New York City, It was one of the most wonderful and amazing things in my life! My mom said that my eyes sparkled when I was watching the play and everything happening in the play! I loved it a lot! 

My favorite scene from the movie is when Mary Poppins sings Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious it is one of my favorite songs from the movie, It is very exciting and fun to sing! It is also fun to spell when  you are singing along with the movie, It always puts a smile on my face when I sing along and watch that scene from the movie!

I recommend this movie to anyone who loves Julie Andrew movies and Musicals! And would like to sing to a movie! It is an outstanding movie!
