Bonus material explores the making of “Mary Poppins Returns,” going behind the scenes with the star-studded cast and crew who collaborated to make even the impossible possible. Extensive extras include a trip down Cherry Tree Lane with original cast member Dick Van Dyke, a sing-along version including the heartfelt Academy Award®-nominated “The Place Where Lost Things Go,” bloopers, deleted scenes, a deleted song and filmmaker commentary. Features also reveal the magic and moxie that went into creating large-scale musical production numbers, such as “Trip a Little Light Fantastic,” a rousing song-and-dance number led by Jack and his fellow lamplighters; “The Royal Doulton Music Hall” and “A Cover Is Not the Book,” showcasing the tremendous talents of Blunt and Miranda; “Turning Turtle,” an upside-down sequence featuring Meryl Streep as Mary’s eccentric Cousin Topsy; and “Can You Imagine That?” an underwater adventure with Mary Poppins and the Banks children.
“Mary Poppins Returns,” Michael Banks (Ben Whishaw) — just a child when Mary Poppins first visited 17 Cherry Tree Lane — is now a grown man raising his children Annabel (Pixie Davies), John (Nathanael Saleh) and Georgie (Joel Dawson) with help from his sister Jane (Emily Mortimer). Times are tough in Depression-era London but the winds begin to change and the enigmatic governess, whose unique magical skills can turn any ordinary task into a fantastic adventure, enters the lives of the Banks family once again, having not aged a single day. Teaming up with an old friend, Jack, they take the Banks children on a series of whimsical adventures, encountering colorful characters like Mary’s eccentric Cousin Topsy (Streep), Jack’s lovable band of leeries and bank executives William Weatherall Wilkins (Colin Firth) and Mr. Dawes Jr. (Van Dyke) — bringing life, love and laughter back into the home.
“Mary Poppins Returns” will be packaged and released in several different formats, giving families the flexibility to watch it on a variety of different devices. Viewers can instantly watch the film in Digital UHD, HD and SD, and bring home a physical copy of the film as the Ultimate Collector’s Edition (4K UHD, Blu-ray and Digital Code), Multi-Screen Edition (Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Code), a single DVD or a Digital Bundle with both “Mary Poppins Returns” and the 1964 classic “Mary Poppins.”
We all know the classic bubble bath scene in the film and love it! In honor of this scene, I was recently sent my own fun Mary Poppins bubble bath mailer and have this fun DIY bath bomb tutorial as well! Just click on the image to pull up the tutorial!
The magic returns in Disney's reimagined classic as Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt) helps the Banks family remember the joy of what it's like to be a child. Together with her friend Jack the lamplighter (Lin-Manuel Miranda) and the newest members of the Bank family, fun is brought back to the streets of London! You soon learn that everything is possible, even the impossible! There are so many similarities between Mary Poppins Returns and the classic Mary Poppins! In both versions Mary Poppins arrives just in the nick of time when turmoil is in the Banks household. In this reimagined classic, Mary Poppins helps the children remember what it is like to be kids again and the elder Banks remember the importance of family!
While you don't get fun chimney sweeps in this film, instead you get dancing lamplighters! You will see throw backs to the classic film through out with nods to the chalk drawings, the original Bert and original Jane Banks making appearances as different characters Heck even the dancing penguins were back again in this flick!
This is a great addition to your Disney collection! You don't have to know the original Mary Poppins story to watch this film, but why wouldn't you want to watch it. The classic Mary Poppins with Julie Andrews is still one of my all time favorite movies! This was a great nod to a classic!
