Original Soundtrack - Mary Poppins / O.S.T. (CD)

All Music Guide

Disney's 1997 and 2004 reissues of the Mary Poppins soundtrack augmented the classic original release with a handful of demos and interviews, which is enough bonus material to attract collectors, but not enough to overshadow the wonderful qualities of the music. Mary Poppins contained some of the bestknown (and bestloved) songs from any Disney film, including "ChimChimeree," "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," "A Spoonful of Sugar" and "Let's Go Fly a Kite." The music has lost none of its charm over the years, and it stands as some of the finest music from a movie musical in the last half of the 20th century.
