    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.

      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

      @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.

      @blerksnarfgut7332 Před 5 lety +6

      @@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.

    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.

    • @Catz1a
      @Catz1a Před 5 lety +22

      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

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

  • @connorfak
    @connorfak Před 5 lety +64

    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.

    • @marieprestegard2495

      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.

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 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.

    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!

    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.

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.

      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.

      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.

    For me one of the worst and most annoying things of the sequel is having a miscast Michael Banks.

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.

      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!!🌂🎩🎬🎤🎥🎹🔥⭐️

    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.

But it’s still a choice that makes sense and I think that’s why they did it, to keep that magical, unexplained quality.

    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.

    • @JustImmiagine

      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

  • @TheEpicPopcorn
    @TheEpicPopcorn Před 5 lety +3

    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.

    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

    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?
