Er, I love the Wizard of Oz, but Mary Poppins is definitely way more substantive and "adult" (which, btw, are two separate qualities) than Oz, particularly wrt the Banks' family dynamics. I really don't see how Mary Poppins is more kid-focused -- how? The main characters of Mary Poppins are the father, Mary, and Bert. The kids' role in that movie is much more focused on facilitating the general plot and the arcs of other characters and storylines than Wizard of Oz, which is all about Dorothy's personal story, so Oz is far more kid-focused, even though Jane and Michael are younger than Dorothy.

This. More than anyone else, Mary Poppins is about Mr. Banks' character arc and development. Yes, the kids are a bit naughty at first, but their behavior is never presented as the real problem in the film and directly stems from their father constantly spending more time at work than with them.

Heck, after Banks goes to accept his termination (which is quite possibly the most beautiful scene in the movie) and doesn't come immediately home, one of the other adult characters suggests he's committed suicide.

Even when I was just a little kid, that scene was my favorite :) Tied with the "Feed the Birds" number.

"Feed the Birds" is one of my all-time favorite Disney songs.

One of the (many) things that I miss about living in London is passing by St. Paul's. I'd hum the song every single time.

Really, Mary Poppins is a movie that I appreciate even more as an adult than I ever did as a child.

It was also Walt Disney's favorite song. He said it was the most beautiful song ever written for him, and would always ask the composer to play it on the piano.
