Mary Poppins is one of the most popular Disney films combined with live action and animation. All of the songs in this film were written and composed by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. The video was released on November 6, 1985, and was re-printed several times -- in 1987, 1989, and 1991. The video remained available like this until 1994. The closed captions were actually first seen on the back cover of the 1986 VHS.
