Listen to Tim Jones‘ Film Introduction

From the moment Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) floats into the Banks’ household, things are never the same. The children, Jane and Michael, are swept into magical romps across the English countryside, tea parties on the ceiling, and madcap dances over the rooftops of London. A winner of five Academy Awards (including Best Actress), this Disney classic also stars Dick Van Dyke.  Rated G.  Run-time 140 minutes. Come early for best seating; dress warmly and bring a blanket. Movies in the park is sponsored by University of Phoenix and Goldcorp, Inc.
