Disliking Miranda isn't the same as disliking Mary Poppins Returns. And I have no interest in The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.

It seems the Actors Screen Guild will have a NYC screening and a Q&A afterwards on Thursday.

Interesting, maybe we'll get some early reviews from these screenings. I'm crossing my fingers that the reviews will be good.

Are they even allowed to say something this week? I'm sure the embargo lifts this month (like with 'Into the Woods' in 2014), but I don't know how soon. If I find anything, I'll let you know.

Its length surprised. It's going to be intensive.

I wish they used this cover as the theatrical poster. It's better than the one we got, in my opinion. Less cluttered and more awe-inspiring.

^That's a great cover. I know it's different, but it reminded me a bit of this other poster.

I really like these storybook-like illustrations Disney's been making lately for their live-action movies. They've done it with The Nutcracker already and are continuing with Mary Poppins Returns.

The D23 cover looks really nice, but I still prefer the theatrical poster for it's a great throwback to the 60's and 70's film musical posters.

Runtime revealed?

If it's true, 'Mary Poppins Returns' is almost as long as 'Mary Poppins'.

I dearly hope that it is the real runtime, even if it is 9 minutes less than the original. It's even quite longer than the theatrical cut of Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

I prefer the poster we got. I like when they put a lot of images into a poster, sometimes.

A really nice article written by Entertainment Weekly. The biggest reveal here is that there are 9 songs in total in the movie.

Judging from the trailer, there is a moment where Mr. Dawes Jr. dances on top of a desk so the 9th song that hasn't been confirmed yet must take place in the Bank; possibly with Colin Firth singing. Hopefully the soundtrack's track list will be revealed soon.
