CommentsInfrequent and Low impact Violence is noticed mainly in an emotional context. The V advisory is recommended for senitive viewers for Parents and Care-givers to be informed that there are grey areas and they might have to allay fears and be of reassurance. However, it must be noted that any moments of darkness or emotional violence are very quickly skirted over as the magical qualities of Mary Poppins and her positive magically enhanced spirit transport the viewer into a colourful, magical, unrealistic fantasy world.
