While we have certainly enjoyed the variety of new characters, shows and movies that have entered the scene in recent years, there is something to be said of the beloved classics.

After all, there has to be a reason why a film could continue delighting children, adults and entire families for decade after decade, doesn't there?

Which is why now is the time to celebrate the past half-century of entertainment and song that we have all enjoyed with the 50th Anniversary Edition of the one and only Mary Poppins.

Released from the Disney Vault in celebration of its 50th Anniversary, this timeless classic is available today, December 10, 2013, for the first time on Blu-ray Combo Pack & HD Digital.

"Practically Perfect In Every Way" Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) flies out of the windy London skies and into the home of two mischievous children.
