Me, too! It breaks my heart that she lost her voice. She has to fill naked without it. I grew up with a teacher that had the same range vocal range as Julia. We lost her a while back and I just can't visit the church I grew up in. Her voice rang above the choir. It just wouldn't be the same.
Everyone watching Dick and Julie, but let's not overlook the fact that that is friggin Dick Sherman!!! One of the magical duo that wrote for Walt that wrote It's a Small World, Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow, Grim Grinning Ghosts, A Pirate's Life For Me, Tiki Room, and all the music in Mary Poppins!!!! He's a musical legend!
Absolutely both he and his brother were two of the most talented songwriters contracted anywhere let alone Disney. I definitely forgive them though for "It's A Small World". Though really it wasn't the song that was uncomfortable it was the ride itself. Especially when you're a little kid and it was only one of a very few rides that you were big enough to ride. SMH That was one creepy ride. I preferred Mr. Toad's ride to hell over Small World.
My grandmother, when she was alive, told me that when I was a baby, she would sing Edelweiss (from the Sound of Music) to put me to sleep. She was a huge fan of Julie Andrews. Because I was raised to sing, she would teach me how to sing Julie's songs from the Sound of Music and Mary Poppins. When she was bedridden because of illness, I would sing "Spoon Full of Sugar" to her to encourage her to feel and get better. I told myself that when I become a mom or grandmom, I will sing the same songs my grandmother used to sing to me.
That's so beautiful! The love you and your grandmother shared through singing, is so beautiful. I used to sing "Feed the Birds" to my son when he was a newborn, put him to sleep

When she won the award for Poppins beating out Audrey Hepburn for My Fair Lady she actually in a very british manner thanked the warner bros team for rejecting her cause without that ... She would not have got such a wonderful achievement at Disney.
@@alexshu1794 In 1997, while starring in Victor/Victoria on Broadway, doctors botched her throat surgery when they were trying to remove a polyp from her throat.
@@alexshu1794 The good news is that she won the lawsuit. Also, some reconstructive surgery was somewhat successful,. but she did not get her full range back.
I completely Agree! What a magical and beautiful moment ! It’s true that when a film is made with such nice and kind people it’s created a great and lasting friendship
Movies have always been about the ratings. If they weren't successful, they couldn't afford to do them! Walt Disney was deep in debt during the making of Snow White and it was only because it turned out to be the success he believed it would be, that they were able to build the studio.
@@kllwc7772 True, the Pixar guys found it. As did many of the Menken/Ashman era animated musicals. I think the bottom lines was always important, but Walt (and others) found a way to keep the "magic" at the heart of final project.
A cute pun I saw on Pinterest: "Did you hear that Julie Andrews no longer supports cheap lipstick? It crumbles too easily and gives her bad breath. She explains, "That super color fragile lipstick gives me halitosis." 😂
It's going to sound ridiculous but I actually teared up when I heard the tuppence theme play in Mary Poppins Returns, but now I know why. Exactly as he said, it was what the whole film was about, what the lesson was, and for the crucial moment of the sequel to reference that was genius. The sequel will never beat the original but it got the themes SO right.
It was because the director had grown up with the original, and instead of "remaking" the magic, he wanted to continue it. It's the reason they followed on by using parts from the other books and making it that Michael is relearning the lessons of the magic, by the way of it always being shown through the children. To remind the adults, never to lose your childhood imagination and that if you listen and look, children can teach you important lessons and reminders.
She’s singing! I can’t believe it! (I know she’s previously said that she can’t, and that she doesn’t consider it true singing, but it is so lovely to hear) Thank you Mrs Andrews for this treat!
Thank GOD this was captured on film!! The likes of this kind of talent and camaraderie will never be seen or witnessed again.. not in our lifetimes, anyway!
Disney Plus sent me here! Mary Poppins was my first live action movie musical. And yet I find so hard to believe this magical classic is 60 years old. And Julie is almost just as beautiful as she was back then. It truly deserves to be seen as one of Walt Disney’s crowning achievement!
I love how Richard gives Julie a wink while singing, because this wasn’t long after she lost her voice, kinda as a way to let her know it’s okay :) (lost it in 1997 but had surgery to try get it back in 1999/2000)
14:33 The Bird Woman was played by Jane Darwell as the capstone to a remarkable career that began in 1913 with silent films. She was Ma Joad in 'Grapes of Wrath' and Mrs. Merriwether in 'Gone with the Wind'.
This video just warms my heart... Only Julie can make us feel so happy singing Spoonful of sugar and supercalifragilistic and make us cry with Feed the Birds , it always brings tears to my eyes. How lovely is the moment they share at the end ❤. Look at Julie's eyes at the starting just so blue and lovely 😍. Thank you for sharing.
I bet they had an absolutely wonderful time working together, Julie and Dick. You can see a lot of affection and good humour between them. Two marvelous people. I never knew that Dick acted as the old man! Wow that was brilliant!!
I have often found that the greatest people are also the most humble and have never forgotten their roots. Julie Andrew's story about her first job and the flower lady just goes to show what kind of a person she is. People who do not forget a kindness afforded to them deserve to be successful. That is exactly what happened to Julie Andrews. This is beautiful clip of three great people.
When I first saw The Princess Diary’s at the age of 18, my buddies and I all pretended not to love it but we all secretly did. They all had such a crush on Ann Hathaway but I was desperately in love with Julie. She is just soooo beautiful. Practically perfect.
The "Feed the Birds" part of the movie was always my favourite part of the movie, love its purity ❤️ then they said the old lady died right after and I lost it 😭😭😭
so beautiful to see the entire crowd singing along with Feed the Birds, at the Mary Poppins prom. The BBC showed links to it being broadcast all across Britain, and every single person was singing it. What a legacy that song has, that the entire population knows it by heart. Incredibly moving.
I was still in grammar school & living in Brooklyn my parents took me to Radio City Music Hall to see Mary Poppins ! I loved it & Julie Andrews & Dick Van Dyke they were awesome together ! Too bad Julie Andrews lost her voice 😢
Mary Poppins was one of the most magical experiences I ever had as a little boy. For two hours, I sat transfixed, as the unforgettable songs and dance routines paraded across the screen. Watching this special brought back my childhood, as did the Tom Hanks movie, “Saving Mr. Banks,” which captured the back story so marvelously well. Dame Julie Andrews is a treasure, as is Dick van Dyke - two of the most gifted actors and musical performers ever. Indeed, Dick’s footwork has kept the octogenarian healthy and great shape such that he was still able to dance marvelously in the “Saving Mr. Banks” film. Listen as the two reminisce with the late Richard Sherman and see if a bit of your childhoods don’t come back, as well...
I maybe a millennial but as someone who’s been left tough to impress by post pandemic cinema I know how you feel. It just makes me wish I was both in another era long enough to remember Julie’s four octave range.
I love how they still remember the songs after so long. And how they've remained grounded even with such successful careers. The note about being people not just cast members is telling.
I was a little girl when Mary Poppins came to movie theatres, and I went to see it seven times! These people are so classy, so unlike the lowlife "stars" of today. What a gift. Fantastic interview.
I worked (for many years)at the Dorchester Hotel in London,where Julie & Blake always stayed( and met them on many occasions).Julie was rehearsing the Muppet's show.I wanted to see Miss Piggy,and Julie got the OK for this,I had my hand "up" Miss Piggy,but she was certainly alive to me.Julie was (and is) the nicest,sweetest and most witty person.Lots of stars are claimed to be "normal"but Julie IS.I will always have great memories of Julie, and her kindness and thoughtfulness. Gordon.
What a beautiful memory! I had the pleasure of seeing her in person at the Festival of Books at UCLA back in 2007. She’s beautiful both inside and out. This was not too long after the Princess Diaries movies had come out. The kids there were amazed to see Queen Clarisse in person. I was over the moon to see Mary Poppins!! ☂
I love watching movies like these with the great Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews. Watching these movies, I can smell the decency and kindness of people this generation had. Just wonderful wonderful people!
Love the story about Julie Andrew and the flower lady. I’m so pleased this is on CZcams, it never used to be. Lovely to see Richard Sherman he and his brother were genius’s!
Dick Sherman is a genius with show tunes, & Ms. Andrews & Mr. Van Dyke are two of the most versatile & overlooked performers of the 20th century. They were & still are amazingly talented. I've always adored them both. If I didn't have such a crush on Mr. James Garner for over 50 years, Mr. Van Dyke would be one of the top contenders.
seeing julie andrews just before the quarantine probably saved my life. i’ve been severely depressed and anxious since quarantine and i’m not doing too great, but julie always puts a smile on my face.
Best of luck , there is always fresh air, sunshine ☀️ ( sometimes ). 😊, some kind people, animals give us so much , Helping others may cheer you up . Do try and smile when you can. ❤️
Mary Poppins was the first movie I ever remembered watching, and I remembered it really standing out to me, more genuine, more talent, something about it was just special. Even though I’m 14, I absolutely love old movies and older actors (like Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews, and many more) much more than current movies. Old movies and actors are so much more genuine and come from the heart 💜
I was three years old when this.movie.came out, my little.brother just over a year old,.and our mom took us to the theater to see our first movie. She said neither of us so much as drew breath the entire time, we were spellbound.
Wow, it's so good to see Dick and Julie together. I really love the two of them. Dick Sherman and his brother were such musical geniuses with this kind of music. I'm 62 years old and I've been singing their songs all my life. There are many things that I forget, but their lyrics have stayed with me. This was such a fun video, thank you so much for uploading it.
My sister and I was obsessed with the film as little girls, many wonderful memories made through this movie. Most certainly one of the best Disney movies. And Julie Andrew's and Dick Van Dyke along with Fred Astaire were stars of the purest form...true genuine talent and charisma! Snow white was the first thing I ever saw in the cinema
Me too...I was 5 years old when I saw it. Dad took the family to Grohmans Chinese theater in Hollywood to see it!! I was infatuated with Mary Poppins!! Had the doll, the purse, the hat...still have the hat and doll. Watching this today filled me with joy, happiness and laughter🥰
Up till this day, I still sing A spoonful of Sugar everytime my mum needs to take her meds!😂😂😂 She hates eating her medicine, but this song always cheers her up!
Am I the only one for whom Julie Andrews’ voice almost literally makes me melt. I hear her sing, and I stop what I’m doing. My hand covers my mouth, my eyes close, and my mind melts and turns into itself, utterly transfixed. This must be what ASMR does to people.
I'm 32 years old and whenever I've been asked what my favorite movie is, I have never hesitated to say it's Mary Poppins... even those awkward first dates where people expect you to say something like The Notebook or whatever. It was only in trying to explain the movie to my husband recently as our three boys watched it (and loved it!) for the first time, that I truly understood the deeper messages that I've grown up with and that have been infused into my very personality. I can easily say I love it even more now.
What A Great Reunion, I Love Julie Andrew's And Dick Van Dyke So Much, They Are Part Of My Childhood, It'll Be Sad When They Both Go But For Now They Are Still Here Which Still Brings Joy To Alot Of People Including Myself
Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke are absolutely, for lack of a better word -- *_supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!_* I have no words left to say. They are the original cast of Walt Disney's Mary Poppins. Originally released by Buena Vista Film Distribution Co., Inc. in 1964.
The lovely Robin (& I'd thought it was real!), trustingly hopping onto Mary Poppins hand, at the beginning of, A Spoonful of Sugar, so totally charmed me as a little girl... & it really became a deep-seated "one day" GOAL for me to have that happen to me, too! Then, 6 yrs ago, I was goin through the hardest times ever in my life, & lo & behold, I got to rescue & rehab A ROBIN, that ended up being JUST AS loving & trusting with me as that robin was in the movie with Mary Poppins! Such a God-send! (And I've loved & helped birds ever since!) THANK YOU, Julie Andrews/Mary Poppins for getting my dream started!
The robin was animatronic, obviously, and the whistle it performed during the song was Julie Andrews' whistling. She did so many "behind the scenes" things in that movie, beyond playing the title role. She was constantly shocking the makers of not only Mary Poppins but of the following Sound of Music with her talents.
@@strangeworldsunlimited712 Yes, I found that out several years ago. It was all amazing, the things she did! What I truly found personally amazing, though, was that how that "belief" that got planted in my eyes (& heart), as a little girl watching Mary Poppins, at the drive In theater with my Mom & Dad, INTERACT WITH that lovely robin, was that I then BELIEVED IT WAS POSSIBLE... & though it took almost 50 YEARS for me to "do it, myself!", I believe that because of the gift/action of "faith", it finally, actually DID COME TO PASS for me, too! Mary Poppins/Julie Andrews "planted the seed" in my heart!
I agree with all the lovely comments about Julie Andrews. She is just so full of love and life. Her movies were a healing elixer for so many people and for millions of children. Dick Van Dyke was the perfect compliment to her. He is a vibrant happy person. I am glad they were able to create such a wonderful movie together.
Pure gold! That movie is so near and dear to my heart. It really is practically perfect in every way. I was nearly in tears just watching the reminiscing. The soundtrack is truly genius.
A more charismatic are heartwarming trio I've yet to see. Could honestly watch an hours-long featurette of these three sharing memories from Mary Poppins.
Absolutely awesome!!!! Julie truly is marvellous in everything she does. To think Mary Poppins was her very first film and how incredible she was and still is in this role is a testament of her innate talent. Absolutely love her in the sound of music too. My favourite film ever!! Walt was an irreplaceable legend. He gave the world so much and that has yet to be equalised. The belief he had in people and the opportunities he provided is something Hollywood could learn a lot from today. Now as for the inimitable father of comedy who can still dance, sing and bring joy to all our lives with a simple wide yet bright smile - this movie would be nothing without Dick Van Dyke. On every single watch of this movie (and anything he does including 'The Dick Van Dyke Show') he emits charm, innate kindness, warmth, compassion, humility, grace and endless fun! I always feel better after watching this magical man. It is simply impossible not smile when you say the name Dick Van Dyke!!! :)
This movie has influenced my life immensely. To laugh a lot, always have a vivid imagination, and to do nice things for other people. Mary Poppins was the movie my cousins and I would watch over and over again when our grandmother would watch us growing up. Such a fond love for this classic film and the songs that teach such valuable life lessons.
Feed the birds has been my ring tone for as long as it has been available to do so! I have loved the softness, gentleness, and kindness it portrays. I am in my 60’s and have loved this movie and what a pleasure to hear you recollections and collaborations it took to bring such a classic to So many generations... Make this movie..
Growing up every year my music teacher had us watch this film. As a young kid I hated it. Especially after like the 10th time watching it. But now that I've grown up and gotten old I've found appreciation for it. This movie is purely timeless and so is the music
My all time favorite movie. I have and always will love Julie and Dick. This movie is the reason I love musicals. I watch it almost monthly. The end was amazing. Bless you all and thank you for this amazing gift!
Julie Andrews is practically perfect in every way
Actually I think she's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious 😂😊
@Amber I agree wholeheartedly
@@16taysia yep
Me, too! It breaks my heart that she lost her voice. She has to fill naked without it. I grew up with a teacher that had the same range vocal range as Julia. We lost her a while back and I just can't visit the church I grew up in. Her voice rang above the choir. It just wouldn't be the same.

Julie is just a lady of class. The way she speaks, dresses and carries herself. A true example of elegance.
Hi moss's mother!👋
And swears like a trooper behind the scenes 😂
Smokes like a chimney, swears like a sailor. About as elegant on set as a rugby player.

Even after all these years I love Mary poppins
Dick Sherman is a genius with show tunes, & Ms. Andrews & Mr. Van Dyke are two of the most versatile & overlooked performers of the 20th century. They were & still are amazingly talented. I've always adored them both. If I didn't have such a crush on Mr. James Garner for over 50 years, Mr. Van Dyke would be one of the top contenders.
Seeing these 3 Legends in the same room!
Unsurpassed class and charm. And Disney genius. Delightful.
The amount of talent here is breath taking! I could watch them reminisce for hours. Julie is my favorite actress of all time, just LOVE her so much.
One of the most underrated actresses around. Incredible to think it was her first film.
She can’t be that underrated!
seeing julie andrews just before the quarantine probably saved my life. i’ve been severely depressed and anxious since quarantine and i’m not doing too great, but julie always puts a smile on my face.
Hope you are doing better. Blessings
Hope you see this, always remember there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow
Best of luck , there is always fresh air, sunshine ☀️ ( sometimes ). 😊, some kind people, animals give us so much ,
Helping others may cheer you up .
Do try and smile when you can. ❤️
The story of Walt and the bird woman in Poppins...........brought a tear to my eye. Lovely memories!
The Bird Woman in Mary Poppins was one of the actresses in Gone With the Wind too. =)
@@travelrx81 And she was in The Grapes of Wrath and won an Oscar for it.
RIP to one of the greatest songwriters Richard Sherman
So happy they are both so healthy.
Mary Poppins was the first movie I ever remembered watching, and I remembered it really standing out to me, more genuine, more talent, something about it was just special. Even though I’m 14, I absolutely love old movies and older actors (like Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews, and many more) much more than current movies. Old movies and actors are so much more genuine and come from the heart 💜
Abbey Mosteller, WOW! 14? I hope you see Sound of Music soon, if you haven't seen it already! Based on a true story, and Andrews is AMAZING!!!
If only every 14-year-old was like you, we'd never have to worry about the future of this planet...
Abbey, well said, my dear.
I was exactly the same way at 14, and now I'm nearly 22 and pursuing my dream of following in their footsteps. Much love to you, darling!
I was three years old when this.movie.came out, my little.brother just over a year old,.and our mom took us to the theater to see our first movie. She said neither of us so much as drew breath the entire time, we were spellbound.
Wow, it's so good to see Dick and Julie together. I really love the two of them. Dick Sherman and his brother were such musical geniuses with this kind of music. I'm 62 years old and I've been singing their songs all my life. There are many things that I forget, but their lyrics have stayed with me. This was such a fun video, thank you so much for uploading it.
This reunion is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
I’ve not seen sequel bc only one Julie Andrew’s and Mary Poppins it’s a classic
First movie I ever saw. I was five years old and it’s still my favorite movie!
And how wonderful was it to hear Julie singing again!!!
It was the first movie i went to the theater to see. I was four years old. Still love it
My sister and I was obsessed with the film as little girls, many wonderful memories made through this movie. Most certainly one of the best Disney movies. And Julie Andrew's and Dick Van Dyke along with Fred Astaire were stars of the purest form...true genuine talent and charisma!
Snow white was the first thing I ever saw in the cinema
Me too...I was 5 years old when I saw it. Dad took the family to Grohmans Chinese theater in Hollywood to see it!! I was infatuated with Mary Poppins!! Had the doll, the purse, the hat...still have the hat and doll. Watching this today filled me with joy, happiness and laughter🥰
My mother said after I saw that movie I kept opening an umbrella and jumping off the back of the couch, trying to fly. :)
Up till this day, I still sing A spoonful of Sugar everytime my mum needs to take her meds!😂😂😂 She hates eating her medicine, but this song always cheers her up!
Am I the only one for whom Julie Andrews’ voice almost literally makes me melt. I hear her sing, and I stop what I’m doing. My hand covers my mouth, my eyes close, and my mind melts and turns into itself, utterly transfixed. This must be what ASMR does to people.
Trust me, you're not the only one.. .
i died when dick danced and julie was laughing so hard... such a iconic pair of friends in a amazing film!!
I'm 32 years old and whenever I've been asked what my favorite movie is, I have never hesitated to say it's Mary Poppins... even those awkward first dates where people expect you to say something like The Notebook or whatever.
It was only in trying to explain the movie to my husband recently as our three boys watched it (and loved it!) for the first time, that I truly understood the deeper messages that I've grown up with and that have been infused into my very personality. I can easily say I love it even more now.
I already liked the movie as a child. But I’ve grown to love it more as an adult myself
What A Great Reunion, I Love Julie Andrew's And Dick Van Dyke So Much, They Are Part Of My Childhood, It'll Be Sad When They Both Go But For Now They Are Still Here Which Still Brings Joy To Alot Of People Including Myself
Can you imagine Richard Sherman without a piano in front of him?
... back in those days ... Thank you Dick, for saying that. A lot has changed since and we mustn't ignore that fact.
I just wrote an essay on Walt Disney, why couldn't I have found this sooner!? It's too perfect!
Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke are absolutely, for lack of a better word -- *_supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!_*
I have no words left to say. They are the original cast of Walt Disney's Mary Poppins. Originally released by Buena Vista Film Distribution Co., Inc. in 1964.
This interview is twenty years old. I'm very glad they held this reunion!
Wow, what a great backstory piece. Thanks to everyone involved, not least of whom were Julie, Dick and Richard.
If you didn't post this I would never see it thank you very much
You’re welcome! (That’s why I’m happy to not have gotten rid of my DVDs.)
it's on the extras for the movie on Disney Plus as well.
Beautiful, just beautiful!
This was entertainment. Class!
The lovely Robin (& I'd thought it was real!), trustingly hopping onto Mary Poppins hand, at the beginning of, A Spoonful of Sugar, so totally charmed me as a little girl... & it really became a deep-seated "one day" GOAL for me to have that happen to me, too! Then, 6 yrs ago, I was goin through the hardest times ever in my life, & lo & behold, I got to rescue & rehab A ROBIN, that ended up being JUST AS loving & trusting with me as that robin was in the movie with Mary Poppins! Such a God-send! (And I've loved & helped birds ever since!) THANK YOU, Julie Andrews/Mary Poppins for getting my dream started!
@Kerry Kunze My grateful pleasure!
The robin was animatronic, obviously, and the whistle it performed during the song was Julie Andrews' whistling. She did so many "behind the scenes" things in that movie, beyond playing the title role. She was constantly shocking the makers of not only Mary Poppins but of the following Sound of Music with her talents.
@@strangeworldsunlimited712 Yes, I found that out several years ago. It was all amazing, the things she did! What I truly found personally amazing, though, was that how that "belief" that got planted in my eyes (& heart), as a little girl watching Mary Poppins, at the drive In theater with my Mom & Dad, INTERACT WITH that lovely robin, was that I then BELIEVED IT WAS POSSIBLE... & though it took almost 50 YEARS for me to "do it, myself!", I believe that because of the gift/action of "faith", it finally, actually DID COME TO PASS for me, too! Mary Poppins/Julie Andrews "planted the seed" in my heart!
I love that Dick Van Dyke is still here! ❤️❤️❤️
Me too
I agree with all the lovely comments about Julie Andrews. She is just so full of love and life. Her movies were a healing elixer for so many people and for millions of children. Dick Van Dyke was the perfect compliment to her. He is a vibrant happy person. I am glad they were able to create such a wonderful movie together.
Pure gold! That movie is so near and dear to my heart. It really is practically perfect in every way. I was nearly in tears just watching the reminiscing. The soundtrack is truly genius.
A more charismatic are heartwarming trio I've yet to see. Could honestly watch an hours-long featurette of these three sharing memories from Mary Poppins.
Marvelous stuff. How could anyone dislike this?
That brought tears to my eyes! Such a gem of a film, perfect and unforgettable ❤️
This made me smile. Thank you for this wonderful video.
Julie Andrews is beyond human!
Sending my god blessings and love to Julie, Dick, Karen, Richard and Robert (r.i.p to him 🌹🌹) ❤️❤️
Tupence a Bag is still my favourite Disney song.
That was sooooo delightful! Thank you.
Absolutely awesome!!!! Julie truly is marvellous in everything she does. To think Mary Poppins was her very first film and how incredible she was and still is in this role is a testament of her innate talent. Absolutely love her in the sound of music too. My favourite film ever!! Walt was an irreplaceable legend. He gave the world so much and that has yet to be equalised. The belief he had in people and the opportunities he provided is something Hollywood could learn a lot from today. Now as for the inimitable father of comedy who can still dance, sing and bring joy to all our lives with a simple wide yet bright smile - this movie would be nothing without Dick Van Dyke. On every single watch of this movie (and anything he does including 'The Dick Van Dyke Show') he emits charm, innate kindness, warmth, compassion, humility, grace and endless fun! I always feel better after watching this magical man. It is simply impossible not smile when you say the name Dick Van Dyke!!! :)
Wow they’re talking about Walt Disney just like a bunch of friends talking about other friends. That’s when u know they’re legends
This movie is really Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and this reunion, though brief and short timed, is quite fun.
They both aged like fine wine
This movie has influenced my life immensely. To laugh a lot, always have a vivid imagination, and to do nice things for other people. Mary Poppins was the movie my cousins and I would watch over and over again when our grandmother would watch us growing up. Such a fond love for this classic film and the songs that teach such valuable life lessons.
Feed the birds has been my ring tone for as long as it has been available to do so! I have loved the softness, gentleness, and kindness it portrays. I am in my 60’s and have loved this movie and what a pleasure to hear you recollections and collaborations it took to bring such a classic to
So many generations...
Make this movie..
This video is inspiring me to watch Mary Poppins again.
This is so great! I grew up watching Dame Julie Andrews. She is amazing! 🥰
Growing up every year my music teacher had us watch this film. As a young kid I hated it. Especially after like the 10th time watching it. But now that I've grown up and gotten old I've found appreciation for it. This movie is purely timeless and so is the music
That’s wonderful!
Julie Andrews is a perfect 10
My all time favorite movie. I have and always will love Julie and Dick. This movie is the reason I love musicals. I watch it almost monthly. The end was amazing. Bless you all and thank you for this amazing gift!
