Mary Poppins -- An English nanny reconnects a father and mother with their two kids.

This delightfully sentimental movie documents (via a fictional tale) the real-life story of New York City’s Stage Door Canteen, an east coast version of the Hollywood Canteen, where soldiers were entertained by stage and screen stars of the era.

Professor Robert Leaf is deeply suspicious of the emphasis placed on science within his university, so he tries to suffuse a love of art and music within his two children. Needless to say, he and his wife Vina are slightly horrified to discover that their young son Erasmus is a mathematical genius with a noticeable disinterest in music or art. Thinking only about using Erasmus' gift for his own benefit, his older friend Kenneth immediately comes up with a plan to make a killing at the racetrack. Working out a deal with his less-than-altruistic buddy, Erasmus agrees to help pick racehorses if Kenneth helps him meet his idol, Brigitte Bardot.

The Gnome-Mobile is a delightful Disney fantasy about two children and their uncle who stumble on a pair of gnomes in the forest. The film centers around their effort to protect the 'little people' from a freak show entrepreneur and a group of unscrupulous land developers. This task becomes even more difficult when the uncle is thrown into a mental institution because he is seeing the gnomes!
