    the funniest part of this film has to be when Maria, at her own wedding, is getting relentlessly roasted by everyone in song as she walks down the aisle

    I LOVE Julie Andrews so much omg. This was such a precious movie, I can’t believe I’m watching it for the first time at 22. Little me would’ve lovedddd this movie. The scenery, all of the colors and soundtrack was so good. The kids were so cute and their first time singing as a family made me tear…

    This movie is almost perfect, not perfect at all just for the songs in the convent that are useless long. But the rest of the movie is *kiss chef 😘 ❤️ Captain Von Tripp is 🔝. The story is great, and the ending is quite unexpected. Songs are iconic Julie Andrews is Julie Andrews..

    I saw this cause ppl told me it was the best musical, & the story is cute but the music isn't that amazing & it's actually so repetitive, if I hear "My Favourite Thing" again I will burst. The puppets were insanely good tho! I was impressed by them. Overall, it's a sweet movie.
