Mary Poppins Returns

[supertalies]

She does look a little different, but that's not a bad thing in my opinion. I didn't expect her to look exactly like Julie's Mary Poppins in the first place and I'm not sure I even wanted her to look 100% like Julie. There is only one Julie Andrews, and nobody can replicate her Mary Poppins. This is Emily Blunt's version of Mary Poppins, and I like that she looks a little different.

However, she does still look like Mary Poppins, which is the most important thing!

Getting tired of Disney just rolling out their greatest hits.

I bet that's from the ending. They are referencing the original film more than I thought they would. The kite is almost identical to the one in the first movie, and they have made Emily Mortimer blonde here like her character in the original.

Emily and Lin looks very good. I'm very happy that Rob Marshall is working on this movie.

I'm... a little mixed on Emily Blunt!Mary Poppins. She looks more in line with the book version, but the movie version (Julie Andrews) has been engraved into my brain since I was a kid, leaving the movie version as my definitive Poppins.

and yes Im sure if it was gonna have hand drawn segments we would have heard something about it by now.

According to Imdb the film has an animation department, but I'm not sure it means we're getting animated segments. If they're actually working on the film, they could be just animating some character or doing something for the end credits, for example. Jim Capobianco directed the Pixar short Your Friend The Rat which had 2D animation, so I think there's a possibility they're using hand-drawn animation, but it could also be CGI.

I love how they're not trying to replicate the original movie and giving everyone their own path to follow.

lets hope there's something, even if just the opening and closing credits, it would at least be a nice callback to the animation in the original.

Yes, even if it was only for the film's credits, it would be great.

I seems that Julie Andrews won't be in the film after all.

While Dick Van Dyke announced he will be returning for the sequel, Andrews tells ET's Leanne Aguilera that she doesn't think she'll be a part of it, but she is thrilled to be able to pass the torch to the Golden Globe-winning actress.

"Emily Blunt is going to play Mary Poppins and I am a great fan," Andrews says. "I think she is terrific and a perfect pick."

It's possible that they're keeping her role or cameo under wraps so that it will be a surprise for audiences. That's just my wishful thinking though.

Well, you may be right. After all, it's not uncommon for actors to deny some information in an interview if they are not allowed to reveal it yet. I hope that's the case here. Though it's not that important to me whether she's in the film or not, it would be nice if she was, especially when Dick Van Dyke has a role in the movie.

Why do I get the feeling the third still image is highly reminiscent of the "Anything Can Happen" number from the Broadway version of Mary Poppins?

I just can not get excited about this film...as a fan of the original..I just can not see how they think that they can recreate that kind of magic. Also, how can you honestly even look at it as a companion piece to the original film in the fact that....Emily Blunt and Julie Andrews look nothing alike and I just can't buy into a "sequel" that is made 50 years after the first. So, this film takes place 20 years after the first story...and Mary has not aged at all? Would have been more believable and easy to digest if Blunt was playing the role as an older version of the character. With so many wonderful young adult novels, childrens books, original ideas out there...why are we rehashing this? I think I could have been behind an all-out remake of the original film versus this hog-wash.

In for Ben Whishaw; otherwise, I'm not particularly interested.

I guess this means there will be some animation in it, after all. Though the question still remains if it's going to be 2D or CG.

Cue the arrival of prim and peculiar Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt), who leads Michael’s wayward children (and Jane and Michael themselves) on a series of unbelievable adventures — to the top of Big Ben, the bottom of the ocean, into magical encounters with animated dancing penguins and upside-down cousins (hey, Meryl Streep!).

Bottom of the ocean...?

Funny, that was originally going to be in the original Mary Poppins, but it was reused for Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
