Disney Plus: 10 Things You Must Watch First
10. Mary Poppins
You must, must, must start with a classic, and they don't get much better than this.
This 1964 classic ranks as not only one of Disney's best, but one of the favourites of the man himself. It's a film that everyone has in their home media collection, and even if they don't, everyone's seen it at least once.
The iconic flying nanny is arguably Julie Andrews' best performance, bringing in a mix of whimsy, optimism and mystery. Everything she does is not only to better the children under her care, but to bring their father closer to their lives and be an actual father to them, rather than a workaholic. Somewhat a suitable message in today's climate when everyone is forced to stay at home and spend quality time with their children and families.
Regardless of everything going on at the moment, Disney Plus is the home of some of the most magical films ever made, easily capable of making you feel like a child again. This film is the epitomy of that sentiment and is the ideal place to start your journey through Disney's vast catalogue.
