MARY POPPINS RETURNS movie review

My heart smiles as well upon seeing Mary Poppins Returns now showing in cinemas. The nostalgic film that features Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda gives a nostalgic feeling of the old Mary Poppins movie that marries animation and live-action in a single screen that inspires the young and the young at heart to believe to the impossible and enhance their imagination.

Mary Poppins Returns continues the story of the Banks children and Jack who are all adults now and with a new conflict as they were about to lose their home to a Wolf (Colin Firth). Through her unique magical skills, and with the aid of her friend Jack, she helps the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives.

It was a wonderful cinematic and theatrical experience dance sequences that are perfect for the whole family to enjoy and new songs that you can sing to your children to keep the glow into their faces. It is also feel a good reunion movie for Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada and now they're both singing and dancing. Julie Walters, though not sharing a scene with Meryl Streep, for Mamma Mia! for another musical memory. Emily Blunt proves again her versatility as an actress in doing this movie and it's funny that you'll forget A Quiet Place where she doesn't even say a thing, and now she lets it all out with the singing and dancing.

Thank you to Disney Ph and Vista Cinemas for letting us into this magical experience in their VIP cinemas.

first look at MARY POPPINS

It's a younger nanny in the new Mary Poppins movie and Emily Blunt stars the role along with my another favorite of mine, Meryl Streep! It's a Devil Wears Prada reunion in this 1964 classic which starred by no other than Julie Andrews herself.
Based on the Mary Poppins stories by P.L. Travers, Mary Poppins Returns comes from a screenplay by Life of Pi scribe David Magee, with Oscar-winning Chicago and Into the Woods director Rob Marshall at the helm.

Mary Poppins Returns is set in 1930s depression-era London (the time period of the original novels) and is drawn from the wealth of material in PL Travers’ additional seven books. In the story, Michael (Ben Whishaw) and Jane (Emily Mortimer) are now grown up, with Michael, his three children and their housekeeper, Ellen (Julie Walters), living on Cherry Tree Lane. After Michael suffers a personal loss, the enigmatic nanny Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt) re-enters the lives of the Banks family, and, along with the optimistic street lamplighter Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda), uses her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives. Mary Poppins also introduces the children to a new assortment of colorful and whimsical characters, including her eccentric cousin, Topsy (Meryl Streep).

Opening across the Philippines in 2018, Mary Poppins Returns is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Philippines.
