Would have preferred they use the book title of Mary Poppins Comes Back...Mary Poppins Returns just sounds weird. I'm sure I watched something called Mary Poppins Comes Again on a grainy video many years ago.........bit of an odd plot line though........ |

Well, the teaser trailer is out, and I am not ashamed to admit I shed a tear watching it!
Mary Poppins is still my favourite film of all time, and was such a huge part of my childhood (its the film i wore out on VHS...) so I'm excited to see what they're going to do with it. Lots of material from the wonderful books still available, and spot on casting I would say in Emily Blunt, even from the brief moment we see...
PS: her coming down on the kite was what did it! Bring on Christmas!!

I just don't think you should mess with perfection.
If they ever do a remake of Sound of Music there will be rioting in the streets.

Was her relationship with Bert purely platonic or did she live over the brush with him? I’ve often wondered...  |

Really enjoyed that trailer.
I feel like there was a slight hint of "A Spoonful of Sugar" in the music when she appeared from the clouds with the kite.
Also even with the tiniest of clips of Emily Blunt, I love her sassiness. And that mirror is a nice nod to the original.
Still not sure what I feel on Marys new look, but I guess 20 years later, the fashion would have changed.

And there wouldn't be rioting in the streets, there'd just be moaning on the internet.  |

The trailer made me really sad because as I mentioned almost two years ago I had a tiny chance of being able to work on this and it didn't happen. Even worse was when I found out a year ago that if I'd sent an email at the right time I would have had the job, oh well, not sure I can watch it in the cinema, too depressing.
However it did make me laugh seeing the location they picked for Mary to land, the bridge should be familiar to people who have seen a late 1960s musical film also aimed at children.

Well the full trailer is out - I don't know if I'm allowed to link it so I wont.
Really exciting - vibrant and full of life! Exactly what I was hoping for if I'm honest (and Emily Blunt looks just wonderful!)

Just watched the new trailer. Magical.
Dumb question and the anseer is probably here somewhere but is it a musical or just a straight film?

Had to close my mouth after watching that! It looks magical indeed! That cast too. Really can't wait for this.
Time to rewatch the original and Saving Mr Banks again...

I think it'll be as much a musical as the original was. Enough songs to keep us happy, but not so many that non-musical fans who've been dragged along will be losing the will to live by ten minutes in.
I do have some questions about Emily Blunt's accent though... (But I have no questions about Lin-Manuel Miranda's accent, which he has cheerfully admitted will sound like nothing else on god's green earth and can probably be passed off as some kind of homage to Dick Van Dyke.)

I really like the trailer although it's interesting that it starts dark and gloomy then brightens as soon as Mary appears.
They seem to have kept the elements of the original like the 2D animated sequence.

think i am the only one quite underwhelmed from the trailer
looks like a remake from the original, but without the hits
will there be a smashing song in it? why not show a bit of it in the trailer?
was waiting for a song but nothing really in it

Lots of warming nods to what we expect, but with variations. That's quite an accents she is sporting. What or who is Meryl dressed up as, and how does Angela Lansbury fit in. I'm sure they will get a passing nod to Julie A in somewhere. And have they used a bit of Stiles and Drewe?

In the trailer, there's a moment at the end of the animation section which hints at it. Here's hoping! |

I'm not sure how music/song heavy it is but I do know that Shaiman & Wittman have written songs for it though! Atleast 7 songs have been "heard" on set. screenrant.com/mary-poppins-returns-soundtrack-song-titles/*Can You Imagine That - is Lin's song (or one of atleast). Likely to feat a tap routine. |

Just watched the trailer now. It looks great. Hopefully LLM can pull off a decent cockney accent. Hopefully he hasn’t asked dick van dyke for coaching lessons. The animated sequences look really magical and in keeping with the original animation.
