Anything with the KooKoo song works for me...

This is great. Those who hate it are full of it and really, REALLY prefer crap like American Beauty. Gimme a break. I saw this in the theatre as a kid, and it was a family event every year also to watch it on TV, everyone sitting around together enjoying a classic. Andrews was on an unbelievable roll at the time-Poppins and then this, two HUGE hits '64-65.
The music, acting, scenery, etc all tops. I usually dislike musicals too and are bored to pieces by'em, but not by this. I also can remember when they showed this as a part of a 3 day long film fest at my college in the mid 80s-THIS was the one everyone wanted to see, place was PACKED.
Don't be fooled by the Bozos who dump on this-it's one of the best.
***1/2 outta ****
And yeah, that KooKoo song is still fun...
