Why Mary Poppins scores this way

A magical nanny arrives to care for two children in Edwardian London, blending live action with animation through songs and fantastical outings. The classic musical is warm and whimsical with a leisurely pace; aside from a brief chimney-rooftop sequence and gentle family tension, there is little to frighten children.
