5 thoughts on “Mary Poppins Returns”

  1. Oh thank goodness. I was was worried that someplace, somewhere there was a beloved IP that had not yet been remade. Particularly an early Disney property as Walt had a number of problematic opinions about things that can now be fixed.

    1. Disney already banked on this IP again when it made the movie “Saving Mr. Banks” with the same actor that saved Pvt. Ryan.

  2. Travers forbade a second movie while she was alive (and, contrary to “Saving Mr. Banks”, she HATED the Julie Andrews/Dick van Dyke original. Now that her estate owns the IP, they were much more amenable to being bludgeoned with big bags of money.

    I distinctly remember reading a sequel to Mary Poppins when I was young, but the movie apparently is a different plot entirely.

  3. I will watch Emily Blunt is just about anything but I suspect that Disney is continuing its SJW sojourn. But the review did say it was like TFA and not TLJ so maybe it will turn out OK.
