Disney's attempt at Mary Poppins 2 worked out pretty well - another fantasy nanny looking after kids in England with a Broadway star, the Sherman brothers and Robert Stevenson. The film looks so cheap and ugly. I'm sure it had more effect if you saw it as a child. It's fine. Angela Lansbury is very good. David Tomlinson miscast - why not get Tommy Steele for this? Disney always liked him. Maybe he was busy or considered too young. And I guess The Happiest Millionaire had happened.
Songs aren't bad. Cheerful.
