In Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns, an all-new original musical and sequel, Mary Poppins is back to help the next generation of the Banks family find the joy and wonder missing in their lives following a personal loss. Emily Blunt (“A Quiet Place,” “The Girl on the Train”) stars as the practically-perfect nanny with unique magical skills who can turn any ordinary task into an unforgettable, fantastic adventure and Lin-Manuel Miranda (“Hamilton,” “Moana”) plays her friend Jack, an optimistic street lamplighter who helps bring light-and life-to the streets of London.
Mary Poppins Returns is directed by Rob Marshall (“Into the Woods,” “Chicago”). The screenplay is by David Magee (“Life of Pi”) and the screen story is by Magee & Rob Marshall & John DeLuca (“Into the Woods”) based upon the Mary Poppins Stories by PL Travers. The producers are John DeLuca, p.g.a., Rob Marshall, p.g.a. and Marc Platt, p.g.a. (“La La Land”) with Callum McDougall serving as executive producer. The music score is by Marc Shaiman (“Hairspray”) and the film features all new original songs with music by Shaiman and lyrics by Scott Wittman (“Smash”) and Shaiman. The film also stars Ben Whishaw (“Spectre”) as Michael Banks; Emily Mortimer (“Hugo”) as Jane Banks; Julie Walters (“Harry Potter” films) as the Banks’ housekeeper Ellen; Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh and introducing Joel Dawson as the Banks’ children, with Colin Firth (“The King’s Speech”) as Fidelity Fiduciary Bank’s William Weatherall Wilkins; and Meryl Streep (“Florence Foster Jenkins”) as Mary’s eccentric cousin, Topsy. Angela Lansbury appears as the Balloon Lady, a treasured character from the PL Travers books and Dick Van Dyke is Mr. Dawes, Jr., the retired chairman of the bank now run by Firth’s character.

What do you think about the changes in Mary Poppins Returns? ☂️🦜 😀
I like that they made the umbrella talk more and that robin fix is very clever!
Yes, it was nice that they "corrected" that robin goof from the first film and love that they got Frasier's Gil to voice the parrot talking more! :-)
I think that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Footnote: The original Jane is exactly three weeks older than I. Also, my mother's name was Jane.
I Like how they made Mary Rude from the Books than that of the 1st Film.
Why why why, remake a perfect movie!!
This is a flying Nanny who uses magic. Do you REALLY expect her to age like a normal person?
At the end of the film, when Mary looks at her reflection in the balloon given to her by the balloon lady, they should have snuck in a Julie Andrews reflection to maintain continuity between the 2 films
Great idea!
And the mirror
Dame Julie is on record saying that she didn't appear because she didn't want to detract from Ms. Blunt.
I like that idea, I think I've seen it in a few other remakes or shows
If they sneaked in a CGI version of Julie Andrews' Mary Poppins in the scenes where Emily Blunt is staring at her reflection, then it would not only maintain continuity between the 2 films, it would also let us know that we are watching the very same Mary Poppins take care of the new Banks Children and going on a new adventure
Emily Blunt has said that she prepared for the role by reading the books, and purposely avoided trying to copy Julie Andrews' performance. Blunt's performance is closer to the books than the original movie.
i enjoyed that while i love the first movie felt like this time had originality esp when i read she was trying keep personality of Mary from the books. her personality bit harsher but the children grew love her and she loved them each time she departs i cry bit . i hope there will be a third sequel but hope like within few years not long span like first movie
Oh/Ooh? Really?
@Jason Hettinga it's so funny how our opions are different. I always felt that Julie's Mary Poppins was cold, rude, smug and arrogant & I think Emily's Mary Poppins is less cold and more nicer. Also Emily's Mary Poppins has a great sense of humour and sarcasm. Haha no hate to Julie (she is really a queen & splendidly amazing in the sound of music). It's funny how you prefere the old & I the new😂 but the original one is still really great. I just loved Emily as Mary more and some other elements & story I loved more. Totally respect your opinion though. Haha we all have different taste.
@Jason Hettinga Mary Poppins in the books certainly comes off as smug, arrogant, and sorta cold (also a bit of a narcissist!). Disney softened up the characters quite a bit, which is one of the reasons why P.L. Travers disliked the film so much.
@@aflowerthatcannotbebloomed I completely agree with you in thinking that Julie's Mary Poppins was mostly cold, aloof and dismissive. I have major nostalgia for the original Mary Poppins and so I can't help but be fond of it, but there is definitely a certain warmth missing from the character because of how Julie played her/the screenwriters chose to depict her. I'm not sold on Emily Blunt being the perfect replacement the way that so many others seem to feel but one thing I did appreciate about her portrayal was her winking playfulness and tendency to nurture and comfort as opposed to being so quick to get stern with the children. There were times in the original movie where it seemed as though Julie's Mary Poppins didn't even like the kids but that wasn't an issue this time around.
Boom's cannon isn't late. Big Ben is early
Exactly! "They say the world takes it's time from Greenwich, but Greenwich takes it's time from Admiral Boom!"
All those times Peter Pan and the others pushed the clocks hand was finally corrected!
Yeah when jack changed it he finally made it correct. Jack is the real hero in the movie lol......
@@cameron8413 SPOILERS
Technically speaking, Mary Poppins was the one who actually moved Big Ben's clock hands.
I knew that too because mary poppins in the new one said it wasn't their first time climbing big ben.
Honestly, her being a Time Lord would explain her change in personality from the first movie to this one. Because when a Time Lord regenerates their new regeneration tends to have a slightly different personality from their last one. So she could’ve just regenerated at some point in between the 20 years after she left the Banks children at the end of the first film.
True but I didn't feel like her personality changed very much. She showed a little more vulnerability in the new one by having moments of feeling a little more sad or acting a little more haughty. But she was still playful and witty and kind while still being stern. And of course, she still knew that she knew best. I felt like she acted very much the same and the only differences were due to the situation she was dealing with lol
Twenty years our time. It could have been centuries for her.
Emily Blunt turned to the books for Mary Poppins character
Mary poppins vs Daleks
Female Gentleman
YESSSSSS
I put the personality change down to what the children needed. Jane and Micheal were rowdy, but lacked love and attention. So she's kind but firm. The new three need to learn to have fun again in a tough time, but are still a little snooty. So she pulls them into line, only to push them towards being children again. It's what they need.
I've only seen part of the movie though, so obviously I'm not perfect in judgement.
Being a nanny myself, I concur that one adapts one's approach according to the children's needs ;)
I really like this analysis!
I agree.
CMHolden, I like your observation on the personality change. IMO, after watching it in the theatre, I believe it's still very much what P.L Travers said to Walt when making the first film. "You think she's here to save the children?" I think it is still apparent that her personality is to reflect what each father has forgotten and to help him find it in his children.
Micheal and Jane wanted (and needed) firm but kind, not just from their nanny but, indeed their father, George. As a result, they caused a fuss to be noticed. George was not one for liking change. Mary (and Bert) were there to help George realise the precious time he was missing out on, like childhood, as the time period, (just prior to WW1) was soon to be a time of rapid change.
In the case of Michael, he and his children, have gone through a sudden rapid change, with the bereavement of their wife/mother, while being faced with the struggles of the Great Depression. As a result, they face uncertainty and ponder many questions.
Here, Mary and Jack help Michael to remember what it was like to be a child, by helping him realise that children find the wonder in life and that living in the present can help things look more clear.
(Sorry for any spoilers)
Alana King yeah, basically what I said. But good to know~
Whether Mary Poppins is a Time Lady or not is irrelevant - it's obvious that Mary Poppins isn't quite human. She's a magical being.
@Aristide Twain Magic can *easily* be the work of humans in a fantasy setting... Magicians aren't some unfathomable type of CREATURE; they're merely individuals who can do things *most* humans can't.
@Aristide Twain Then again, it sounds equally plausible for her to be a guardian angel as it would for her to be a kindly enchantress.
I think the snowglobe is not an error.
It is more another nod to the Books.
In the original Books Mary always left a present for the children. And the Snow Globe may be one of these, that Mary maybe left them at a later visit somewhere between the two movies.
It wouldn't surprise me, because in the attic you can make out "props" from other Stories out of the books. For example the Telescope from "Merry Go Round" or the magic Compass from "Bad Tuesday".
Also in one Scene Jane is clearly wearing the necklace with the little lark on it, that mary left her.
We may have seen Mary put the Snow Globe into the carpet bag yet Mary told us to never trust a carpet bag, she most certainly never does.
Is it me or does jack behave like a fan boy? The moment before Mary Poppins appears, he’s got this look on his face like his favorite celebrity is coming to town.
Cause Mary Poppins is from his childhood and when something from you're childhood comes back it is like you're favorite celebrity is coming, like my parents eyes light up when they see stuff from their childhood.
I think this is due to the fact that Lin-Manuel Miranda is just a grown up fanboy and was probably still in awe of the fact that he was working with Emily Blunt and in the sequel Mary Poppins
@@lovemyfriends96 I would be too
@@lovemyfriends96 Which is funny, in all the interviews regarding Mary Poppins returns, Emily seems to be a huge fan of Lin
Lin is just amazing that's why
I loved Mary Poppins in 1964, when I was 54 years younger, and I love Emily Blunt's slightly snarky, slightly risque Mary Poppins of today! Of course, I saw "Saving Mr. Banks" five years ago, so I had some idea what Mary was really supposed to be like, and Emily had read the Travers books before doing this, so she also knew. Nevertheless, it was magical and fantastical and a couple of hours of escape from the depressing headlines of real life.
Ps. Did I mention that Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda are both amazing (especially the "Cover Is not the Book" number), as is Dick van Dyke's table dance?!
Wonderful to hear you enjoyed the sequel so much, Bryan - I thought it was a real treat as well! Oh, and I absolutely loved seeing Dick Van Dyke's new routine - what amazing energy! - as well as A Cover Is Not The Book too - such a fun song and dance routine performed with great spirit by Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda! :-)
Bryan Jennings Well said and I agree.
Spot on! Your comment is practically perfect in every way!
Yes! Julie as Mary was also a bit snarky and that was something I loved about the character. She was the perfect balance of kind and strict that was necessary in a nanny. Both ladies played it very classy yet playful and sharp tongued Mary's very nicely!
Mary Poppins still being young isn't just a consciously overlooked goof, and here's why: I own a 40th-Anniversary edition of the 1964 film's soundtrack, which includes bonus tracks of story meetings between P.L. Travers, the Sherman Brothers, and director Don DiGradi. In an interesting sound bite Travers mentions wanting to include a "clue" where "Mr. Banks half-guesses the truth that Mary Poppins had once been his nanny [as well]." Since Mr. Banks portrayed by David Tomlinson was in his mid-forties in that film's 1910 continuity, he probably would've been a child in the late 1870s, before Julie Andrews' Mary Poppins had been born (if she was supposed to age). Therefore, it's authorially canonical that Mary Poppins never gets older (or at least, does very slowly). She's really more of a guardian angel than a person.
Or she is a Time Lady, they age much slower than humans, if she has a TARDIS she can travel through time and space. The Doctir litteraly lives on a cloud with his TARDIS for like a year in one episode. A fuly functunal TARDIS can be hidden in plain sight. The bigger on the inside (her bag) is Time Lord technology.
I love this theory more because in that case she chooses to spend her knowledge and longer life helping humans on an to her alien planet.
@Marie Prestegård 🤣 Have you not seen the MAGIC Mary Poppins repeatedly performs?
If she's not a guardian angel, she's a kind-hearted enchantress.
Connor Fak Strange thing is I always thought of Mary Poppins that way even before the sequel.
George Banks' Nanny/ Governess was the dreaded Miss Andrews, and Mary Poppins caused her to have a Nervous Breakdown.
LOL, so they corrected the robin but then made a new goof with the snow globe!
Oh, well, we can't have everything - you of all people should know that, Robb Stark! ;-)
I like to think they were magically put there by Mary to force them to remember their childhood.
Stuff and Nonsense and just grasping as it is perfect plausible that a snow globe was acquired by the children. I am sure Mary Poppins wasn't the only owner of a snow globe!
@@phutton yes. I was thinking they probably purchased a snow globe after her departure because it reminded them of her.
@@Snowwulf78 my thoughts exactly
I like idea that Mary Poppins is a timelord, it makes sense!
Just always figured she was just an Angel.
She'd be a much more convincing Time Lord than Jodie Whitaker.
Robb Stark Time Lady you mean
Robb Stark I keep thinking she’s an angel.
THE KING IN THE NORTH
Loved Lin-Manuel Miranda's "rap" scene. I swear they wrote it specifically just for him. You can't have Lin-Manuel in a movie without giving him an amazingly fast paced song to belt out perfectly.
Ryan Hadley he wrote it, not them
I also saw it as kind of a nod to Bert’s rap-esque song in the animated bit as well from the original
He was the most disappointing one..
Miranda himself said he didn’t write anything for the film, and he’s not listed in the writing credits for this song.
my mom said the same thing
I think the Admiral had the time right all along. When the men are climbing Big Ben, Mary huffs at how slow they are and says "you'd think they'd never done this before". If they had done it before, maybe they were responsible for the disparity between the Admiral's time and Big Ben's to start with?
I would agree the Admiral has always been on time yet perhaps we have been the ones who have been speeding up. It took Mary Poppins to come back into our lives to remind us to slow down a bit and take time to enjoy life a bit more.
Erik Taylor Beautiful analysis!
Agree with you 100%
Excuse me it's not a reboot it's a SEQUEL.....
its basically a reboot
@@EmperorPiplup ok tell me how! Where the whole story the same no!
I’m agreeing with you people can change
It's taken partly from the second book titled "Mary Poppins Comes Back".
@blues8 c'mon it's like the new Star wars movies all over again you can basically go scene-for-scene about how it's the same
NOTE: Blunt said Mary Poppins Returns was a follow up of the actual book not the movie
Ash.03 make your parents watch to Mary poppins sings Pink Floyd thanks it’s on CZcams
I liked the new movie and respect that Emily blunt took her inspiration from the books. I do think she should have found some shade of Julie Andrews that she could have emulated in a tiny way to blend the two Mary Poppins’s characters together just a bit.
Tom Caine forced accent? Emily Blunt grew up in a posh part of London
I like the idea that "Mary Poppins" appears in the way that YOU need her to be when she comes to you. So she looks different every time. She's magic and she's the perfect version of the nanny that YOU need when she comes to you. When she came the first time, she looked and acted the way that the Banks children needed or wanted her to look/act. The next time she came, the Banks children were older and had children of their own. Maybe they remembered her differently (as we all do when we get older and try to remember something from childhood...we do not get it exactly right). Or maybe the new Banks children are the ones whose imaginations caused her to look and act the way she did. When she comes back in the future, she could be played by another actress and be totally different. There could be Mary Poppins-es all around the world like how they had that at the London Olympics where a whole bunch of them in all different ethnic backgrounds came down from the sky with umbrellas to fight the Voldemort puppet. I liked that imagery and it made me imagine the powers of Good dispatching these "Mary Poppins" angels to fight the forces of Evil all over. Every child should be able to summon the perfect Mary Poppins for that child when they need her.
@Tom Caine That's exactly how she is in the books.
@Tom Caine Emily was raised in London
I prefer to see it not as a sequel to "Mary Poppins" the movie. As in not canon to the movie with Julie Andrew's. This movie works much better on its own as a sequel to the book series. Any reference to Julie Andrews specifically would ruin it.
I think the reason why in the original film they used an American Robin is because they couldn’t fit all the wires needed to make the animatronic move into a European Robin. They had to use an American Robin as it was simply bigger and gave them more room to put all the wires. Julie said she felt like she was wearing a computer!
Sarah Catherine see on CZcams at Mary poppins sings Pink Floyd
I'm not convinced, Sarah. I think it's just the age old problem of Hollywood failing to understand British fauna. I still haven't recovered from the appearance of a racoon in Suffolk in the live 101 Dalmations remake! And as for the presence of Gopher in Winnie the Pooh ...
Darren Armstrong That’s a good point. Probably some of that too!
The confusion between UK and US fauna is not new in pop culture. Famously Vera Lynn’s “bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover” - not unless they are very lost indeed!
@@rojh9351 Another excellent example.
Saw it this afternoon with my grandchildren. I was 9 when I saw the first Mary Poppins.
1) Dick Van Dyke deserves MANY kudos for his reprise as the banker. My dad is 92 and cannot move or dance like that!!!
2) The Meryl Streep scene did NOT belong in this film. It seemed like it belonged in a Harry Potter-esque hybrid musical...but did NOTHING to advance the story along in Mary Poppins Returns.
3) I particularly enjoyed 3 numbers, and thought they mirrored the Sherman brothers quite well: Trip A Little Light Fantastic, A Cover Is Not The Book, and There's Nowhere To Go But Up.
4) The animation scene was well done, and loved that it came earlier in this film. It wasn't "exact", but it DID match the elements of the first movie. I thought it melded well between the illustration on the bowl in Returns and the chalk painting from the first film.
JoAnna The Singer Seems odd to complain about Topsy when Uncle Albert in the original had the same purpose....
EvaSofie Purpose means nothing without successful execution.
JoAnna The Singer I cant seem to stop singing the song, so I think the execution was alright. Just my perspective.
And I teach voice and piano for a living,c specializing in musical theatre, and I cannot remember a note or lyric...and I know all the other songs.
JoAnna The Singer oh well everyone step aside, she’s a voice teacher, if she does not care for a song we should all listen to her. Well I’d like you to write your own song that’s half as catchy as any one from the original film instead of judging everything just because you teach spoiled little brats proper breathing techniques.
no. mary is an immortal witch. no theories needed
serenityq26 she’s not a witch, witches fly on brooms, as Jane Banks confirms in the first film 🤔
How is she a witch
@@alexisb8978 , lol what if the broom is really the umbrella in disguise.....
@@alexisb8978 Not all witches fly on brooms, some shapeshift into fireballs.
Bert knew her as a grown up when he was a child. She's obviously immortal.
The Emily Blunt sequel is more accurate to the P.L. Travers book. She read the book before she started filming the movie.
It's said that P.L. Travers loathed the original 1964 film with Julie Andrews.
I enjoyed both performances by Julie and Emily!
I totally agree with you
Not sure how accurate the ‘saving mr Banks’ movie was but it suggested that she did like the movie at least otherwise she wouldn’t have given the rights for it to have been created
@@annasophia2826 Travers did hate the original Mary Poppins, and Disney was kind of a scumbag by making some lasts minute changes in the film he had told Travers he wouldnt do (like the animated scene). However, i think that if Travers saw the sequel, she would outraged by how cliched the "evil guy wants to ruin a family" plot of this movie is
Agreed
curry knave fair enough I’m not really educated on the topic so I’ll take your word
I'm embarassed to say that I didn't catch the snow globe paradox even though I've seen the first movie dozens of times.
Her bag is magic so maybe it just copies the globe and magically returns back in thehouseafter she leaves.
maybe they bought another snow globe just like it in the intervening years! its the kind of thing that looked like it sold by the dozen
Guilty.
Mary’s alternating colors on her coat and hat *DEFINITELY* reminds me of 11’s alternating bow ties and 13’s alternating shirts. She’s definitely a Time Lord.
Love that observation, Miranda - thanks so much for sharing! :-)
@@FlicksAndTheCity They need to make another Time Lord that is Mary Poppins in the series and make her be like the Doctor's cousin or something
The first time that I love a sequel as much as I do the original movie!!
Great job on "Mary Poppins Return"!!!
Yes!!! I think the same
It honestly makes a lot of sense for her to go cockney for that song, since that song is all about not judging someone on their appearance, and it kinda gives a little insight into her character a bit more, where she maintains her poshness, but is very street wise.
I just thought that the Mary Poppins in Cover is not the Book was pretty off character. Besides that, I love Emily's new take on Mary.
I totally agree. Maybe it was meant to show that Mary Poppins is a good actress and entertainer in addition to being magical but there was nothing else in the movie or even the original film to support such an off-character moment. The difference was too jarring.
I don't know why but the 1964 movie is something magical, there was Walt Disney himself behind it, I grew up with that first one so I can't find this one so magical, maybe because I have a different age, but but maybe because people, even Disney people are loosing the originality and the enchantment
saibirina I think nostalgia influences our opinions. I didn’t watch the original Mary Poppins movie until a few days ago and I watched the new one a day after, because I didn’t watch the first one when I was a kid, I can see both movies as equally as magical.
I am sure everyone who grows up with this sequel will remember it fondly. I grew up with Julie Andrews and I didn't find the magic either in today's Mary Poppins either. Julie Andrews was perfect ... in every way.
It's not only nostalgia. I grew up in the early 90's and even then I found movies from decades ago much more magical than the stuff that was current back then. Since I was a child, there was no nostalgia involved in that feeling, but I still prefered "Mary Poppins" a thousand times over all the 80's and 90's movies. The ending of the original "Mary Poppins" was perfect, on point and never asked for a sequel. I'm not sure why I'm so resentful against all these Disney sequels and life action remakes that are currently flooding the cinemas.. it feels like they took away the uniquness of the original movie. Suddenly there are two Mary Poppins', two Lion kings etc etc. It's a shame they seem to be out of new ideas. Imagine in the old days Disney would just have remade "Snow white" and "Pinocchio" over and over again... there wouldn't be any "Mary Poppins" or all the other gems.
@@folkosire you're right
The first one is simply the better one. I've went to see the new one a few days ago. Aaaaaaaaand none but none of the songs in the movie were catching... When I walked out with my wife we both couldn't rely remember any of the songs... The first one has one catchy song after another... Also the story was much better.
Throughout the entire movie all I was thinking of WHO TF WAS JACK 😂
should have just given an explanation similar to mary not aging as a reason to bring back bert.
he was the equivalent of bert. it mentioned that he was and apprentice of sorts to bert who basically raised him before he left to travel the world
The vaudevillian song-and-dance reminded me quite a lot of Catherine Zeta-Jones in Chicago, perhaps it was just the hairstyle they gave Emily Blunt in that number?
Totally agree and that's exactly why it felt odd and uncomfortable to see it in this movie
@@helitbroza6790 Same director..btw Liza Minelli, in 1972's "Caberet", had a outfit like that.1920s-30s stuff.
Yes,Steve,nice to kbow that someone else made the connection too...And letting my stream of consciousness follow the soundtrack of its music memory I could not help but think of Marlene Dittrich and pre world two German cabaret
They kept referencing Big Ben striking Midnight as if it is the clock. Big Ben is the bell in the clock tower. Often in other plot lines, the last chime is the deadline. Here it was the beginning of the chiming.
We tend to call the clock big Ben in the UK. We know it's the bell but it's simpler than saying the Elizabeth tower clock is striking midnight.
There's nothing wrong with saying Big Ben is striking Midnight after all a clock can't strike without a bell or gong, what's wrong is when people say the time on Big Ben is Midnight, but as Molly said people just tend to think of the hole tower as Big Ben even though most people know it's the name of the bell... wish this spellcheck would stop changing words.
I didn’t notice the snow globe but anyways I find this sequel practically perfect in every way. I appreciate every single moment of it and its scene similarities to the first movie makes it so nostalgic - I just love that. Blunt did an awesome job as I expected. I actually even like her Mary Poppins a bit better than Andrews‘. :x
Let's go fly a kite tune was played in the sence where Mary was given the balloon
Yes, I couldn't help but let out an "Aww" at that part. A very touching call-back to the original movie's ending theme.
The worst part of Mary Poppins: Returns was the part when Mary visits her cousin (Meryl Streep) to fix the broken vase from the nursery. The song "Turning Turtle," made me want to turn away from the film. Luckily this was all fixed at the end when I seen Angela Lansbury as the balloon lady.
I loved Meryl's character and her song, and I love the message in it
Vincent Castillo Lighten up and have fun like she did, will you?
Perhaps it’s a matter of perspective. Have you tried listening to it upside down?
Wow you hate one of the funniest parts on the movie
I felt this way too when I first watched it because I couldn't understand all they were singing. Once I listened to the song again a few times i am starting to like it. Can't wait to watch the scene again to see if my perspective of the whole scene seems better to me.
I love both versions of Mary Poppins. The new version of Emily Blunt is much more arrogant and gives Mary Poppins a very good Kind of superciliousness. That works very good for me.
Really! One NEVER discusses a woman's age!
Even better was the look on MP's face when one of the kids asked how much she weighed. LOL
Yes, but you're Heath Ledger's Joker.
I liked it. I will always like the original best, but I enjoyed the songs and the musical numbers and the story was fine. The one thing that did disappoint was the dancing--it was not as...elaborate as the dancing in the first film. I noticed this especially in the lamplighter number, "Trip a Little Light Fantastic," which was fun, but the dancing paled next to "Step in Time." I agree with those who say it will grow on people.
Joseph & Laurie Zaepfel they... danced on moving bikes and falling ladders... i think both were pretty impressive lol
@@killtheipadbaby Very true! The number was a lot of fun, and I did like it-. I just thought the actual foot choreography was not as complicated as "Step in Time." -- Laurie Z.
I can hear some of the songs in my head..!
Laurie! Fancy finding you here!
I have been scrolling through the comment and I have seen a lot saying “the animated scene is too adultish” I honestly think it’s perfect I mean it’s not too rude and the adults can have a laugh as well as the children that’s what makes it a family film. So everyone can enjoy
Also I absolutely love love love this film. Dare I even say it could be better than the classics. Now I never ever in a million years would have said that cause I love classics but I think this movie has definitely topped the charts for me
I love all the little Easter eggs and EVERY SINGLE SONG
I suffer from extremely bad mental health and anxiety. So for a few hours it really takes you out of that constant fear and into a magical world.
This is amazing ❤️❤️
I agree! I love the original, but this new one was so fresh and colorful and fun :D
I went to go watch this movie two days ago. Was having a really bad day. Screwed up at work. Also suffering from anxiety. This movie made me feel good. Was just what I needed.
I totally agree with you.
To be honest I was scared that Disney would screw it up. When they announced a return movie I was afraid about that.
But when I saw it few days ago I was already on the top of my chair when I found out they even remained true to the 60’s cinematic music.
And even had a credits roll before the start of the movie. Just like back in the days.
I think the animated scene was adult and childish enough to have both enjoy it.
Sure the lyrics were a bit adult, but the fun graphics with the interaction of the actors is surely fun for kids too.
So I felt it was a good balance.
For me, this movie is among the classics. A modern classic.
Emily is a real good Mary Poppins.
I loved all the songs too. Even tho I felt turning turtle was a bit to much exaggeration.
Overall my favorite movie this year.
I agree completely. Had the same effect on me.
I felt the exact same way! I went to the movies, having gone through such an awefull few days. The songs completely cheered me up, and when I saw Dick van Dyke at the end, I couldn't stop smiling. I left the movies with such a good feeling, humming all the songs, and throughout my rough days I had been having, it helped me feeling so much better :)
Just took my daughter to watch the film it was fantastic. I prefer the original but this was really good to. I don't know if anyone realised that Dick Van Dike was playing the bank man at the end. And the lady who sings the beauty and the best song (dance) was the balloon lady.
I think anyone who knew it was him in costume for the old bank owner in the original would know it was him, I knew it was when I saw him in Returns because I only recently learned that myself when rewatching the first! :)
As a lot of people know the late P.L. Travers, Mary Poppins writer, didn't like the first 1964 movie mainly because of the way she was portrayed by the more kindly Julie Andrews but I wonder how MS Travers would have liked Emily Blunts version?🤔
She would have been even angered more so as Disney went against her will. Not to mention whoever was in charge of her Estate
@@madmaddi130 they went against her will? Did she say she didn't want anymore movies on Mary Poppins?
PL Travers did not like the fact Bert was the one who gave the speech to Mr Banks which saved the family and felt it stole the entire purpose for Mary Poppins coming into the story in the first place. Additionally she was vehemently opposed to the animation sequence. There were parts which she felt the movie was a bit too saccharine and sentimental yet she did love the melancholy nature of "Feed the Birds" and the upbeat nature of the closing number "Lets Go Fly a Kite."
Miss Travers was under negotiations with Disney to make a sequel before her death and her estate obviously agreed. The Credits state the original version is solely owned by Disney once it was released and was not approved by P.L. Travers. Which is probably a stipulation for Disney being allowed to make additional movies with this I.P.
Wow! Merry Christmas Jan! What an amazing video 😍😍😍
I look forward to Mary Poppins 2 too!😄
Merry Christmas to you as well, ML! 😊
@@FlicksAndTheCity thank you sweetheart 😊🎆🤗
@@Elena-gs1mm it's a brilliant film, you should definitely see it
@@DJ_Maysonic Have you seen it already?
@@Elena-gs1mm yeah, it was great
I think the worst thing about it is the fact they thought of making a new Mary Poppins
"6 Ways Mary Poppins Returns IGNORED Mary Poppins (1964)"
**Goes on to explain why they DIDN'T ignore the original because they intentionally CHOSE to make all but 1 of these changes.** Lollz! XP
Didn't care much for the animated sequence. A bit too adult, I suppose. Then it took a strange turn and suddenly ended as just a nightmare.
I’m a kid and I agree it was all just a little to weird for me
I LOVED that turn, I loved the wolf, I thought it was brilliant!
You should read the book version of "The Royal Dolton Bowl".
It's in the book, also the books in general are much darker and sadder.
I didn’t like the whole bowl scene... too long, too much singing, and too scary.
I absolutely loved this movie and I think it will live to be a classic just like the original. Miranda and Blunt are perfect together and so talented. Who knew Emily could hit those high notes! Love the new songs reminds me of the way the Sherman brothers wrote theirs, very similar lyrics, but the new ones are more poignant
I went to the premiere at Disney's theater, El Capitan, in Hollywood, California and they had the original kite and snow globe on display. That was sooo cool!
Mary Poppins, the original is the true childhood memory I will keep. The “new” Mary Poppins is just what it seems, an attempt to cash in on childhood memories. Not the same and I still remember my childhood fondly. Spoonful of sugar for me.
I saw it twice, just to make sure. I would say that the film wasn't innovative enough, plus, it felt short. They didn't make room for the Banks's struggling ordinary life "Prior" to Mary Poppins's Extraordinary arrival. Yes, the children lost their mother, but No, I saw no sign of struggle(besides the foreclosure thing). They just needed groceries.
I'm just curious, but if a family is having trouble affording food and about to lose their home doesn't qualify, what would you consider struggling?
@@jackwells8107 Well, in "The Great Slump" of Depression Era London, the fact of having more than one job and not having to see his children on a Daily basis. Michael took up a PART TIME job at The Fidelity Fiduciary Bank as a clerk( assuming Michael already had a Full time position inherited from his father George) and he gave up on being an Artist. But the mother has been gone for almost a year, and she was the ONLY financier in number 17 Cherry Tree Lane? Even if Colin Firth's character did get the house in the long run, they still had back-up plans: Micheal and the children were going to Jane's apartment, and, of course, Ellen was going to her sister's. Really, I didn't see the Foreclosure as a true threat.
@@zedrickcallaway7325You are a very lucky person that you don't see losing your family home as a bad thing.
@@jackwells8107 Thank you. All I know, and what I've learned from Mary Poppins is this: It can never be too late to do right by your own family. A house can ALWAYS be replaced, but your family, never.
P. S. Of all the heros with their spandex and capes, I'll pay more attention to the Nanny with a talking parrot head umbrella to deal with family matters.
@@jackwells8107 Zedrick Calllaway claimed to not "see the foreclosure as a true threat" because apparently no one faced the possibility of homelessness. Callaway didn't claim that the situation was not a bad thing.
For me one of the worst and most annoying things of the sequel is having a miscast Michael Banks. I love the idea of having Mary Poppins back, and I appreciate LOTS of things that have been achieved in this new film but, who on earth cast Ben Wishaw as a grown up Michael Banks? He does not look like Matthew Garber, the original Michael at all!! It really spoils the magic for me...
I agree Michael Banks was annoying and his character was so wimpy it made me ill. I was 10 years old when I saw the original Mary Poppins, it was my first time in a theater and I fell in love with the movie. Mary Poppins Returns is a big disappointment to me. I actually dosed off a couple of times and then towards the end while the lamp lighters was singing, l walked out of the movie for a small break and returned for the very end of it. My granddaughter, age 12, accompanied me and she enjoyed the movie but agreed that it is not as good as the original....
I saw this film when I was a little kid and to this day I still think of Mary Poppins when I hear about a nanny and I also think of the show when I use an umbrella.
when jack was climbing big ben and nearly fell to his death while mary popping just flew up there like it was nothing and NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT
I saw that. I think a big hint that they were doing it for dramatic affect was when she said "Really, you'd think they'd never done this before".
If however they really were at risk, it confirms what I thought about the first Mary Poppins too, as in waiting for the last minute to fix someone or something that is in danger with her powers. When I rewatched Mary Poppins a few years ago, I realized she acts very full of herself and wasn't a very nice person over all.
I hope the line means that she knew they would all be okay, otherwise she's kinda narcissistic and even sociopathic to let them risk their lives when she could of easily done all that herself.
You know what? @marypoppinsreturns was amazing!! ⭐️👍🥇. I just saw it today and it was unreal and out of this world 🌍. It was such a well written and well put together movie 🎥. Emily blunt and all the other actors were fabulous🎉. And all the children actors were tremendously great as well!!💯🔥. The film was basically “PRACTICALLY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY” 🎖🏆🌟. This film must win loads of awards because it was amazing and really deserves a lot of credit!!🎩🌂. And now I come to talk about the wonderful songs in this film. Basically everyone thought that now way can you top the songs from the original Mary Poppins film but obviously you can because this film just did!!🥇🏆🎖🏅. Songs like “spoonful of sugar & supercalifragalisticexpialadotious” were amazing in the original film but songs like “a cover is not the book & can you imagine that” were even better than the original songs!!🎤🎼. The instrumental parts in the film were also amazing and breathtaking!!🎷🎺🎻🎹🎬🎤🎧. The acting and singing and dancing in this visually stunning movie musical was also practical perfect in every way. Such a talented cast and crew in the movie. The ‘trip a little light fantastic’ musical number was outstanding because there was so much going on in the number and so many actors and dancers being so amazing!! 🤩. The animation in the film is exceptionally amazing. I think I’m my opinion the animation in the new film is much better thank the old film. Mainly my reason for that is well firstly obviously with modern day technology it looks better but secondly the story line in the animation is much better thank the original Mary Poppins film. I loved the whole aspect of the royal Dolton bowl and how they go to fix the carriage and the musical number in the animated world is amazing!! There are so many amazing things from Mary Poppins returns that I haven’t mentioned due to spoiler alert 🚨 and stuff but all I will say is that if you haven’t seen this film then you need to see it NOW!!😀. I love this film now so much and I can’t wait till the dvd is released in the spring of 2019 so that I can purchase it and watch the amazing film again!!🌂🎩🎬🎤🎥🎹🔥⭐️
When I watched it in the theaters I was waiting to hear the word supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Cameron The Platypus Yes! Me too!! I didn’t care for the music at all
All I can say, is they both played it perfectly, I cant wait to show my nephew both movies when he is old enough to remember
I liked when Mary Poppins gets ready to dive into the tub to go on a big adventure and it's obvious she can hardly wait to go! This is different from the first film and it's my favorite part of the movie because it reminds me of how much my mom loved and lived to go on great adventures with us! My mom was like a big kid herself who took me to see the first Mary Poppins and it does me good to remember this! 😀
About the age: didn't Michael said that she did not age one day?
He says something like she hardly looks like she's aged at all - the clip of him saying that is in this video. :-)
@@FlicksAndTheCity I watched it in Italian, so the adaptation was slightly different.
That's very interesting - thanks for letting me know, Barbara! :-)
@@FlicksAndTheCity yep, no problem . If I get the DVD I would love to watch it in the original language.
Mary Poppins are not human! So she NEVER takes age!
5:00 ALL THE WHOVIANS JUST SCREAMED
I got way to excited over the fact that they kept the hand drawn animation 😊
Probably my favorite part of the whole thing! The animated sequences were awesome!
Grew up with the old Mary Poppins and seen the new sequel. LOVE BOTH!! It's still great movies.
It seems almost impossible that Emily Blunt never saws Julie as Mary in the first film !!
As a stand alone movie, it's fine, but my biggest gripe were overlaps and repeats, where you could see the writers had almost cut and pasted lines and put them in different contexts.
That being said, I did enjoy it and was happy to have seen it on the big screen, but as cinema is quite expensive now, will think twice before seeing other sequels or live remakes.
The magic of childhood is being lost in this increasingly cynical and sexual world.
I hope they do a third movie. The next one could be set in the 1950s or 1960s with the next generation of Banks children (the originals would be grandparents at that point). Have Mary appear once a generation.
I enjoyed it. Wasn't at the same level as the first movie, but hit all the right beats, I think it will grow on people. I wasnt that big on The Greatest Showman at first, but it grew on me and now I love that movie.
i really thought that at the end of the film when Mary Poppins looked back, that it would be Julie Andrews for the end ):
Original a 10.
New is a 9.
The only problem was the songs in new one were not as catchy as the original. They are good but not as easy to sing in the moment for.
The best part was definitely every time Lin Manuel Miranda was on screen
Jason Dean *worst part
Todd Bennett heckkkkk noooo Lin is a king
I agree 😂
Worst part for me
@@Dorkalest explain.
Time Lord... I'm telling ya. Mary Poppins is the children's Doctor. Truly.
Right, she's Doctor Who lol
it's so strange for me to see comparison between the new movie to the old because I've only read the books when I was little 🙈
I didn’t like some of the inconsistencies in her character. Some of the singing parts were a bit risqué (like growling) and out of character.
Agreed.in part
My aunt phillipa is a prop maker in that movie. She made the new umbrella and Mary poppins outfit and har
Sure buddy
In your dreams XD
I don't usually respond to such comments but I just want to point out that in big productions such as this film, props and costumes are two different departments and there's no way one person would work on three different pieces like these. In fact, on big prods, there'll be different persons in charge of making, oroutsourcing set props, wearable props, action props, hats, clothes, etc...
I think the film shares more creative DNA with Bedknobs and Broomsticks than Mary Poppins, especially the animated sequences.
- The Trip A Little Light Fantastic number was okay until you added BMX bicycles.
- None of the songs had the impact of Feed the Birds from the original film.
- While I appreciate Blunt trying for an original performance, it was such a jarring difference from soft to knife-sharp that it tough to watch. Some might appreciate it. I'm not among them, sadly.
- The music hall performance was gratuitous, designed to shoehorn in Lin-Manuel Miranda's patter virtuosity without advancing the plot. In fact, the actual plot moment in that sequence came after the musical number, and Mary was completely absent.In the end, it -literally- drops into a plot hole.
I wanted to like it more than I did. I was disappointed.
The Admiral is a bit early since Big Ben was actually wrong in the movie. When they were "turning back time" we hear him say "Big Ben's finally got it right!"
There is one editing boo-boo in MPR at the "Balloo'n's Up" song at the end. While Angela Lansbury has already ascended, like everyone else, the next quick shot of people on the ground show her still in her bench (lower left of the screen). If you blink, you'll miss it. Also, why is MP so aggressive-passive in this film? You just know that the film is just biding its time before she decides to act and save the day. I thought that was rather "patronizing." BUt then again, I say that as a knowing adult viewer. I liked many of the songs.
Great video, very interesting!
Thanks so much, Sileeee56 - very pleased you enjoyed it! :-)
I saw today "Mary Poppins Returns" in English, yesterday "Mary Poppins" (1964) and three days ago "Mary Poppins Returns" in Romanian. Now I read again the books.
Sounds like you're having a lovely, Mary Poppins-filled week so far! :-)
Does anyone else remember the line from Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda) "for he didn't have a wisdom for numbers, a wisdom for words" in A Cover is Not The Book? I friken' love that line, for certain reasons that other Hamilton fans might know.
you mention marys age but boom was 85 in 1910 and would be 110 25 years later
Not aging Mary Poppins was a weird choice as it’s never mentioned in the books and P.L. Travers approved Julie Andrews returning for the sequel Disney was planning in the 80’s (except she hated the plot), so if Mary Poppins wasn’t meant to age she wouldn’t have approved her returning. But it’s still a choice that makes sense and I think that’s why they did it, to keep that magical, unexplained quality.
I loved this movie and the songs😀😀
The worst part of the Sequel is Mary Poppins Bowl Cut
The parrot umbrella was meant to speak a lot more in the original film, but the scenes were cut. Disney still have storyboards for some cut scenes.
The Animation Sequence was somehow Choppy from the First movie, and it didn't seem to live up to the Original version when the was Released in December 19th, 2018 on Wednesday.
Sorry you didn't enjoy it. I thought it was very innovative and especially enjoyed the "A Cover Is Not The Book" song, but yes the sequence was darker in tone than the version from the original movie.
I was so amazed by the animation and I absolutely loved it!!!
@@peperainbow 😑😑😑
I loved the animation. Worked for me.
However, many of those animated scenes were actually from the book series.
Didn’t think the “adult “ humor necessary.
Me too! Out of place in this type of a movie.
Oh come on! It was saucy rather than smutty and showed a whole new side to Mary.
Did you see that bow tie?! Of course shes a time lord! :p
Thanks for the awesome video! :D
Mary Poppins returns is not a remake of the og movie, it's a sequal. Its the return of Mary from the og movie which explains why is called 'Mary Poppins Returns.' Emily Blunt did mention that she purposly avoided any similar concept to Julie Andrews imitation of Mary Poppins, as she knows she couldn't do better.
It was also said that Julie Andrews was offered a cameo as another character, but did not want to steal attention from Emily Blunt, as she praised Blunt’s performance of the title character.
They've never really explained in the movies who Mary Poppins is I don't know about the books I've never read them but she just shows up when the winds in the right direction then leaves when her job is done! she clearly has an interest in the welfare of the banks family but it would be interesting to know how she encountered other people who also know her throughout the story,
"One thing about Mary Poppins; she never explains anything!"
My absolute favorite from the movie will always be Meryl Streeps Topsy❤️
Both my 17 year old daughter & I loved both of them. We liked that still had the same "feel" and many nods to the original but at the same time, it was a sequel and not just another re-make.
l loved this version l didn't think it would live up to the original film but l was pleasantly surprised.
I prefer the theory that Mary Poppins is a witch from Harry Potter rather than a Time Lord from Doctor Who.
Three Railway Engines of Time I like both theories, but agreed. It also explains the aging, as the more powerful you are, the slower you age. Mary Poppins would be extremely powerful because she can do complicated, wandless, non-verbal magic with ease.
I think her umbrella is a wand.
Yeah.....magical beings don't age.
Also, with what Mary says about a "door" opening, that's the last name of the banker at the end...although spelled different, it's pronounced the same. "When the door opens..."
Did anyone else notice that?
I like how they call Mary Poppins not aging an inconsistency even though the sequel very CLEARLY confirmed Mary Poppins is essentially immortal, which totally makes sense for her character.
Of course MP was/is magic, that explains the eternally youthful appearance. But having a cousin in MPR throws that off a bit. Are they both time lords? Also, whose uncle exactly loves to laugh in the original? Is it MP's or Bert's? If Mary's, is he a timelord also? Could explain his own magical activity. Finally, I always thought Bert may be a mystical creature/"timelord" like MP since he seems almost her parallel in the first film. Their friendship and apparently budding romance, his fluency in the magical worlds she creates, his innumerable talents, his closeness with the laughing uncle, etc. However maybe this could also be explained that, he was also a prococious child visited by MP many years ago! That would explain his childlike demeanor and MP's intimate knowledge of him. Could make for an interesting prequel/origin story! Anyway, thanks for the vid, just some thoughts.
I can explain the family stuff - Mary Poppins has a lot of relatives in the books, who may or may not share her immortality - it's never really made clear. Mary Poppins herself definitely has some kind of extended lifespan and obviously has magical powers, and her relatives at least have some magical aspects to their characters. So yes, Uncle Albert is Mary Poppins' uncle. And in the part of the second book where Meryl Streep's scene is derived from, her cousin Arthur Turvy is the one who has the upside-down "powers" (though I'm pretty sure Meryl Streep's character is actually inspired by his wife, who's called Topsy). Plus, in the books you also find out that one of her cousins on her mother's side is a snake, and that said mother was friends with the cow who jumped over the moon. So basically, Mary Poppins comes from some kind of magic family, but she seems to be the all-powerful one for unknown reasons.
I don't know how helpful that was but I hope I explained some of the stuff you were thinking about :D
This film had a lot of problems. The songs were not very memorable unfortunately, I can't remember one the same way I do as with the original. Lin Manuel Miranda has way too much screen time and took away the focus from the titular character. Meryl Streep's character feels too forced in trying to recreate the magic of Uncle Albert. The vaudeville song was horrendous, just doesn't fit at all with the vibe of the movie, and they put in that one song that's sung at breakneck speed; the point of Mary Poppins was always to make the songs memorable, not intensely incomprehensible, feels like they were harkening back to Supercalifragistic with the ridiculousnous of it but you could catch the words with that one and everyone was singing it by the end. I don't like how the animated scenes from the bowl had villains, why would animated characters have any ill-intent - felt very misplaced. I also didn't like how they ruined Michael's charitable act in the first one where he wanted to give his tuppence to the bird lady, and it turns out his father did actually put it into the bank - that just negates the changes that Mr. Banks went through at the end of the first movie. Perhaps Blunt was trying to play Mary Poppins closer to the novel but her character felt charmless at times; there wasn't enough magic in here and not enough unbelievable... I don't think they did a poor job on the casting here but it just feels like too much of her screen time was given to the lamplighter.
Agreed on the vaudeville scene.,.,
I always thought boom boi was right, because at the end of the film at the scene where jack is climbing the tower Mary says “you’d think they’ve never done this before” implying they have changed time before
Thank you. Now I will wait to watch it on Netflix.
OMG I SAW IT AND IT WAS AMAZING
I am going to see this today
I wish that in the movies they would put ms. Lark, admiral Bum, and more plots related to the book
Bert was Mr Dawes Junior the old guy on the board of the bank at the end of Mary Poppins Returns. Is this related to Saving Mr Banks which came out in the last few years?
