New "Mary Poppins Returns" Trailer and Poster !



To change from today's nightmarish news from Hong Kong Disneyland ( see article below ), Disney has released the new trailer as well as the new poster above for Mary Poppins Returns ( brilliant way indeed to create a diversion ) and the trailer in all honesty looks great and like the original film Mary Poppins Returns include animated sequences! It looks like it will be a great sequel, after all.

The film is set in 1930s depression-era London (the time period of the original novels) and is drawn from the wealth of material in PL Travers’ additional seven books. In the story, Michael (Ben Whishaw) and Jane (Emily Mortimer) are now grown up, with Michael, his three children and their housekeeper, Ellen (Julie Walters), living on Cherry Tree Lane. After Michael suffers a personal loss, the enigmatic nanny Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt) re-enters the lives of the Banks family, and, along with the optimistic street lamplighter Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda), uses her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives. Mary Poppins also introduces the children to a new assortment of colorful and whimsical characters, including her eccentric cousin, Topsy (Meryl Streep).

Emily Blunt is joined by Colin Firth, Angela Lansbury as the Balloon Lady, a famous character from the PL Travers books and Dick Van Dyke as Mr. Dawes, Jr., the retired chairman of the bank which is now run by Firth’s character. Mary Poppins Returns will be released in the U.S December 25, 2018.
