Review of Mary Poppins Returns (2018) by Moviemitch96 — 19 Dec 2018
Wow! What an absolute joy to watch! Of course, I love the original film, as it's such a fun and charming classic, but man, not only was this a worthy successor, but this is pretty much an instant classic in its own right as far as I'm concerned, as it holds its own against the original effortlessly! Emily Blunt is absolutely perfect in the titular role, and without a doubt does Julie Andrews proud (she even gave Blunt her personal approval!) And for all the Hamilton fans, Lin-Manuel Miranda charms marvellously alongside Blunt.
The songs are a delight, and the animation sequences that blend with the actors, much like in the first film, are all beautifully rendered. Topping all of this off are some fun little cameos in the film's final act.
I will say that I was a bit disappointed that there weren't really any songs from the original (not even Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious), and I thought some renditions of at least a couple might've been fun to see.
