Our take on Mary Poppins
Disney's 1964 musical brings a magical nanny into a buttoned-up London household, blending live action and animation to teach a distant father what really matters. Joyful, tuneful and quietly wise about family, it's a timeless family classic. If its songs and whimsy charmed you, seek out musical family fantasies and feel-good classics where a touch of magic mends what's broken at home.
