I can admit that the pacing at times is slow, but it's still one of my favorite movies. As for my friend, he thought it was "ok." I could tell he was enjoying it until a little more than an hour into it and he started to tire of it. I really didn't know what to expect from someone who was seeing it for the first time at the age of 20 (in between the audiences of child and parent that you might expect to like it at first).
Hey Aaron, now that you've mentioned it, I've always wondered how well "Mary Poppins" plays with contemporary audiences. Yes, we all love it and we all know it is a beloved classic, but are there many young children today who are willing to sit down for more than two hours to watch the movie?

Well, I've already made the test twice: once with my little cousin who is 5, and once with a friend's niece who is about the same age.

My cousin really enjoyed all the scenes up until the tea at Uncle Albert's sequence (she really loved the horse race). After that, I noticed she started getting a little bored but regained interest in the rooftops sequence. By the end of the movie, I could see she wanted it to end, but in the end, she mostly enjoyed.

As for my friend's niece, she was really enchanted by the movie! Yeah, I could notice a few ionnings in the last moments, but after it was over, she started looking at the cover and saying "this movie was sooo beautiful", hehe. The next day she came to my house again and I asked her if she wanted to watch another movie. Guess which one she chose? "Mary Poppins"!

So, what are you guys' experience with "Mary Poppins" and young children (if you have had any)?
Interesting. My friend had a problem with the Uncle Albert scene too at first, but ended up finding it funny. Granted, he was 20 years old and not a kid. I see kids today being able to enjoy it- and shouldn't they just as much as we did as small children?

But that's just the thing- most of us grew up loving the film since we were very young. Do people like it as much when they first see it much older?

Anyone else care to share their experience with this?

Fun and Fancy Free

I hadn't watched this in a while. I'm not too crazy about the Bongo sequence, it's cute but it just seems to move too slow for me. But I love love the Mickey and the Beanstalk segment.

The Jungle Book after many many years. It is definetly not one of the strongest Disneys, the story and pacing are a little awkward.

It was still great, I had forgotten most of it.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Haven't seen this in ages! And I was wowed. I haven't watched it in ages because I'd forgotten how fantastic it is. It is truly one of Walt's Crowning glories! And I deeply recommened everyone who doesn't own the 2 disc DVD to get it! It is truly one of the finest 2 disc special editions ever made![/b]
