 I LOVED the original Mary Poppins when I was a child.... I'm not sure ANYONE can do justice to the role after Julie Andrews.... I sure hope they don't put a bunch of stupid rap from Lin-Manuel in this...

 Prediction: they will get it wrong.

Behind the saccharine kiddy-oriented scenes in the original were subtle digs at the effects of feminism and careerism on the two-parent family, and a satiric take on wealth vs happiness.

Disney had a genius for incorporating adult themes into a family-friendly setting without condescending or what we would call political correctness.

 

effects of feminism. No, we don't want THAT!, posted on November 19, 2018 at 10:50:36

 We need to go back to the 30's.

 

We can agree that Walt Disney was a genius... I think he must be rolling over..., posted on November 19, 2018 at 13:01:56

 While I am far from perfect, I hope I never get to a stage in life where I will be complaining , as an adult, about Mary Poppins.

A kiddy movie, which I haven't even seen, will never have any interest in seeing, and will , in all likelihood, probably never see , because it's a product for kids. Mary poppins comes back to the same kids, now grown,so not a full remake, just carrying over a popular character and a good marquee name.

Some would call that a curse from god.

I recently saw the trailer , looked ok to me , like a big money pro project from disney, with much better special effects than possible in the first, a good point , since mart poppins is a magical character. And I will take emma blunt over julie andrews any day.

I do give andrews some credit for showing her tits in the victor victoria film , but she was always too brightly polished and uptight for me. I doubt they missed much with this film, Dick van dyke is flashed in the trailer as a long bearded sweep, from his costume.
