Review of Mary Poppins Returns (2018) by Jackson P — 22 Dec 2018

In my opinion, this is one of the best live action films Disney has made in 50 years! Everything about this movie is heart-warming, personal, and gorgeous: the beautiful painted backdrops, the gorgeous score (including the incidental music), the subtle and nuanced acting, the cameos, the relevant and relatable story line, the stunning and tastefully derivative animation, the fluid and artful cinematography, the very fitting and immersive set and costumes, the professional vocals and both catchy and clever lyrics, the morals, the subtle political and social statements, the fact that there are opening credits with an actual overture, and the very idea that Disney legends like Richard Sherman were consulted, all of it just provides evidence that Disney set out to make a truly excellent film that makes you cry, picks you back up, and reminds you the joys of being a wide eyes and open hearted kit again! This is truly an instant Disney classic that is enjoyable and impactful for children of all ages! I can see Walt Disney smiling down upon this movie for capturing the very heart, joy, love, and wonder that Dinsey was founded on.

Thank you, Disney, and for everyone involved for making this masterpiece and for making me want to go fly a kite again! God bless and Godspeed!
