of love over money.

==========

The movie combines a diverting story, songs, color and sequences of live action blended with the 
movements of animated figures. Mary Poppins is a kind of Super-nanny who flies in with her umbrella 
in response to the request of the Banks children and proceeds to put things right with the aid of 
her rather extraordinary magical powers before flying off again.
