We all know how special Mary Poppins is.
She’s practically perfect in every way! Transcending P.L. Travers wishes for her stories, Mary Poppins first soared onto screen with Walt Disney’s classic on August 26, 1964, starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke.
After 54 years of Mary magic, it was finally time. The news that she would return to the big screen created widespread interest in how the movie would portray both Mary and her band of magical partners.
Adventuring Is Never Incorrect
In the books, Mary goes on incredible adventures with the Banks children. They meet a myriad of characters that continuously change depending on the adventures they go on.
Now, with ‘Mary Poppins Returns’ in theaters, the general consensus is:
We never knew we needed Mary back until she doused us with her return!
You can listen to the entire soundtrack of the film on YouTube, starring Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda (and cast), who play Mary’s friend with many talents.
Miranda has explained that he feels his character, Jack, was Bert’s apprentice. This explanation satisfies the Disney fans anticipating the joy of seeing the Mary duo on the screen again.
Bring plenty of tissues, and we suggest not to wear any eye makeup, just in case (we’re never incorrect about these things).
