'Mary Poppins' 45th Anniversary DVD Release

On 27th January 2009 Disney will release a Special Edition DVD of 'Mary Poppin's' to celebrate the classic movies 45th anniversary.
The DVD being released is the same as the one released a few years ago with the added features of 4 specials about the stage musical. So it will be of little interest to most people but to 'Poppins' it will be of great interest.

Well excuse me!
Oh I just realized its you!
Sad!

the date of the DVD release is just before the new Mary Poppins Tour which begins March, 2009 in Chicago. Good timing on Disney's part.

I love Mary Poppins. One of my all-time favorite films. But...

I'm really tired of the triple-dips going on lately.

I bought the first DVD, with the non-anamorphic transfer, because I didn't know any better.

Then I bought the special 2-disc edition a couple of years ago, enhanced for 16x9. Looks nice, even if the colors are a bit off and Mary and the gang has jaundice.

Now, they want my money again, for the really-really-special-I'm-not-kidding-this-time edition?

No.

If I ever buy this movie again, it will be on Blu-ray.

I love MARY POPPINS, but it's so long, I don't get to watch it more often. I also get tired of the new editions two years after the old. I've taken to reserving the new editions at the library to see the bonus features.
