Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDick Van Dyke was offered four options for his dance scene, each with a varying degree of difficulty. He insisted on performing the hardest dance routine and refused any help from fellow cast members while filming the scene. The resulting dance scene was so well received that there were reports of audiences applauding during screenings to see the old actor dance so well for his age.
- GoofsThe gaslights used in the movie are all naked flames. By the 1930s, gaslights used mantles, which gave off a lot more light for less gas and didn't smoke the glass covers. Also, gaslights were largely controlled by clockwork (still used in historic areas today in London and other European cities), so the leeries' main job would have been maintenance: mantle replacement and winding the clockwork rather than daily lighting/dousing.
- Quotes
Mary Poppins: Everything is possible, even the impossible.
- Crazy creditsThere is a special thanks to Jay Leno in the credits. According to Lin-Manuel Miranda, "I asked about this when I saw that! Apparently there is a car sound effect from the 1930's that they could not replicate, and someone realized Jay Leno had the car they needed to record the sound effect."

Featured review
Another spoonful of sugar
53 years after Mary Poppins came to the big screen and into the lives of the
Banks family, the Disney Studio has made a remake. The only real deficit that
this film has is that the musical score isn't a patch on the one Sherman Brothers
wrote for the original Mary Poppins.
Emily Blunt has taken over the role of the mysterious and mystical nanny who came to the Banks family during Edwardian England and is now back to them in London in the 20s. Ben Whishaw and Emily Mortimer are the grownup brother and sister. Whishaw is a single father raising three kids and Mortimer helps when he can.
One big difference in this film from the original is there is an identifiable villain in Colin Firth. Whishaw works in the same Fidelity Fiduciary Bank that dad worked in and its rumored dad had a piece of the place, but documentation can't be located. Firth who runs the bank now has a mortgage on the old Banks estate as its prime London real estate he wants it. But he can't have it if Banks is a stockholder.. He's the kind of villain you love to hate.
Dick Van Dyke from the original and Angela Lansbury make some key cameo appearances. Mary Poppins Returns may not have Julie Andrews, but Emily Blunt and the whole cast keep that elfin spirit alive in this film.
It's a pleasant spoonful of sugar.
