Disney has brought magic back to the big screen with Mary Poppins Returns. The original Mary Poppins film featured golden Hollywood actors Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, so the revival of such an iconic film brings about extremely high expectations. Evidently, director Rob Marshall does not disappoint. According to Hollywood Reporter, the film is set to break $100 million in earnings. Andrews passes the magic umbrella to Emily Blunt as ageless Mary Poppins, and Broadway fiend Lin-Manuel Miranda fulfills the role of Jack- a new character, apprentice for Bert (Van Dyke). While Mary Poppins appears once again as herself, Jack is introduced as her n new sidekick.

The film is threaded with references to the both the Broadway musical and the original screenplay. Many of the details are an explicit nod to more memorable details; upon her return, Mary reminding the grown Michael to “close his mouth”, as she did in the original movie. However, some of the more minute details are only recognizable to true fans or those who are familiar with the Broadway soundtrack. While Julie Andrews does not appear in the new film, Dick Van Dyke makes a cameo at the end of the film as the banker who saves the Banks house.

As a former cast member of Mary Poppins the Musical, I can affirm that Mary Poppins Returns was an undisputed success. With beautiful animation and vivid colors, the film returned to the screen even more magical than before and will become a new-age classic for younger generations.
