==Release== ''Mary Poppins'' premiered on August 27, 1964, at [[TCL Chinese Theatre|Grauman's Chinese Theatre]] in Los Angeles.{{sfn|Williams|Denney|2004|p=281}}{{sfn|Lawson|2013|page=245}} The film's poster was painted by artist [[Paul Wenzel]].<ref name="auto"/><ref name="Art of the Stamp" /> Travers was not extended an invitation to the event, but managed to obtain one from a Disney executive. It was at the after-party that Richard Sherman recalled her walking up to Disney and loudly announcing that the animated sequence had to go. Disney responded, "Pamela, the ship has sailed" and walked away.<ref name=newyorker /> ===Home media=== ''Mary Poppins'' was released in late 1980 on [[VHS]], Betamax, CED and LaserDisc. The first version features a VHS cover of Mary Poppins flying with her umbrella. The 2nd release in November 1982 has a cropped image of Mary, Bert, and the Children from the "Stepintime" roof dance fireworks scene, while the 3rd release on November 6, 1985, has a full-length picture on its cover. The 4th and final release, on October 4, 1988, as part of the Walt Disney Home Video collection, features the Penguin dance. On October 28, 1994, August 26, 1997, and March 31, 1998, it was rereleased three times as part of the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection. In 1998, the film became Disney's first feature film released on DVD. On July 4, 2000, it was released on VHS and DVD as part of the Gold Classic Collection. On December 14, 2004, it had a 2-disc DVD release in a Digitally Restored 40th Anniversary Edition as well as its final issue in the VHS format. The film's audio track featured an "Enhanced Home Theater Mix" consisting of updated sound effects, improved fidelity and mixing, and some enhanced music (this version was also shown on its 2006β2012 [[Freeform (TV channel)|ABC Family]] airings), but the DVD included the original soundtrack as an audio option. On January 27, 2009, the film was rereleased on [[DVD]] as a 45th anniversary edition, with more language tracks and special features (though the film's "Enhanced Home Theater Mix" was not included). [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment]] released it on Blu-ray as the ''50th Anniversary Edition'' on December 10, 2013.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Strecker|first=Erin|title='Mary Poppins' star talks 50th anniversary and 'Saving Mr. Banks'|url=http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/12/10/mary-poppins-anniversary-karen-dotrice-saving-mr-banks/|access-date=December 13, 2013|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|date=December 10, 2013|archive-date=December 12, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131212221904/http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/12/10/mary-poppins-anniversary-karen-dotrice-saving-mr-banks/|url-status=live}}</ref> In February 2024, the [[British Board of Film Classification]] reclassified ''Mary Poppins'' from [[U (British Board of Film Classification)|U]] to a [[PG (British Board of Film Classification)|PG]] due to Admiral Boom's use of the word "hottentot" to refer to the dancing chimney sweeps.<ref>{{cite web |first=Helen |last=Bushby |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68402362 |title=Mary Poppins film age rating raised over 'discriminatory language' |publisher=BBC News |date=2024-02-26 |accessdate=2024-02-27}}</ref>
