Cuomo (1995: 213) points out that even though Mary is an autonomous female who resists the role of motherhood and challenges the authority of the patriarch, her role is not to subvert the social order but to reestablish it, in the form of the family, on lines more appropriate to the times.
Mary functions as a deus ex machina, to reunite the Banks family, and the very magic of her arrival and actions signals that human fulfilment in the context of advanced capitalism is as fleeting as the changing winds that bring her and take her.
Part of Mary's magic, then, is parallel to the illusion of finance capital, though she advises the children "never to judge things by their appearance, even carpet bags", as if giving an early lesson in ideology critique.

When Mary Poppins(played by Julie Andrews, who did win the Oscar for this role) is carried in on the east winds and hires on as the new nanny to Jane and Michael Banks, the world of this astute Edwardian man is turned upside down.
Mary Poppins (who pretends to be oblivious to her own magic and charms) simply floats away in the west winds and states, "That's as it should be." This truck driver and father of four is not embarrased to claim this as his favorite movie of all time.

Mary Poppins will always be special to me because it was the first live-action musical I saw (my first viewing of the film was at aged four or five) or at least remember seeing.
The cast in Mary Poppins are incredible right from the two leads, to the children, to the ladies who play the domestics in the Banks house.
Mary herself is wonderful with her "kind but firm" attitude, and loveable chimney sweep Bert is lots of fun.

The Mary Poppins of the sticky-sweet Disney film and the Mary Poppins of the Travers novel are two entirely different characters, and the book presents us with a terse, demanding, and sharp-spoken nanny whose advetures satirize British sensibilities of the early 20th Century.
Mary Poppins was also kind of ugly in the book, with a sharp nose and in another book had big feet.

In chapter 10 of Mary Poppins we meet the animals of a zoo dancing the "Grand Chain" (a military dance, but also -- as Bergsten knows -- a reference to the esoteric Great Chain of Being) guided by a snake, Hamadryad (the snake is common in Yeats and Travers was also an admirer of Blake).
Infant children in the saga of Mary Poppins are in fact able to understand the language of the animals, but they forget after a few months.

NEW YORK -- Thanks to the 1964 movie, "Mary Poppins" is the kind of musical where you find yourself humming the songs on the way into the theater, then greet their teasing quotation in the overture as a guarantee of musical comedy pleasure to come.
And "Mary Poppins" is not only a British musical, which raises fears of pop operatic sludge, but also a product of Disney, which threatens performers limited to imitating animations.
"Mary Poppins" is a design extravaganza, with its centerpiece a four-level Edwardian home of loving detail that rises and falls at will, and a supporting array of prettily-painted external scenes.

NEW YORK – A joyful east wind will be blowing on Broadway for years to come, bringing "Mary Poppins," the new musical about the beloved nanny with a nifty umbrella, to the stage of the New Amsterdam Theatre on 42nd Street.
"Mary Poppins" begins with a stream of characters moving to "Chim Chim Cher-ee," as if the East wind were assembling the characters for Mary to meet, led by her old friend, Bert (played by Gavin Lee, the only London import in an all-American cast).
Bourne's influence is mirrored in the ever-changing scenery designed by Bob Crowley and the choreographic flow of the characters' entrances and exits (Poppins arrives by air, clutching her parrot-handled umbrella).

True, Mary's departure -- akin to the ascension of one of the Greek goddesses in the plays of Shakespeare -- qualifies her as the most bewitching thing to hover over a Broadway audience in years.
It's clear that Mary, as drawn in the stories of P.L. Travers, was never meant to be as saccharine as "A Spoonful of Sugar" makes her out.
Mary dispatches her in a particularly cruel way, an off-putting twist that affirms the notion that the drawing-board stage was when this "Mary Poppins" could have benefited from some magical intervention.
