Emily Blunt does a fine job but NO ONE will ever be able to touch Julie Andrews performance.

[@henrikechers9995]

Have not heard the new songs. But each one from 1964 makes friends, family and kids sing along. Feed the Birds makes me cry in a good way,. Jolly Holiday, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and Spoonful of sugar are just amazing

My mom took me to see Mary Poppins in 1964. I was 10 and mom was 34. I took my mom to see Mary Poppins Returns. She is 88 and I am 64. We had a very happy but emotional day , recalling all the years that have passed by. I am so glad we had the chance to see both movies together. Both movies are beautiful and so unforgettable.

My mum took me to see the original when I was 5 My daughter has just taken me and my granddaughter to see the new film. I was worried I wouldn't like it as I'm a huge Julie Andrews fan, but I loved it. It made me quite emotional. And when Angela makes an appearance that was the icing on the cake.

I have loved Mary Poppins for my entire life. The Mary Poppins returns movie is tear-jerking and incredibly sweet. I was brought to tears 3 times, Where the lost things go and its reprise, and the conversation. Were it not for Topsy-Turvy and Trip a little light fantastic, I would have left very sad. I left in love with this movie as much as the original!

THANK YOU GUYS, all of you I m glad to be back among you english speaking people, even those who didn t like the film (I liked it but I respect you guys) because we can discuss it as respectful adults, NO INSULTS and no spelling mistakes I went to watch the trailer in other languages just to read the comments (some won t like my answers and I expect insults in my mail box soon) you should see what they write in italian and others and especially FRENCH and how they still despise everything disney (and hate uncle walt) even nowadays when all the bad rumors have been proven wrong

[@MrDanamp]

@@ginauccelatore3002 I agree with everything on the video here. I was absolutely delighted by how much I loved the film. Mary Poppins was released when I was a child, so I have sweet, sweet memories of our whole family seeing it together. I thought there would be no way I'd be just as touched by MP Returns, but I was!

[@ginauccelatore3002]

wendy I love your first name ! and arrington like pollyanna harrington when I met artist brian froud who did the preliminary paintings for dark crystal and labyrinth at a convention, his wife wendy froud was there and nobody paid much attention to her even though she designed all the puppets I got up and asked HER a question "were you named after wendy in peter pan" she said yes and she grew up thinking she was THE wendy and believed in fairies and ended up making them as puppets later that day, waiting in line for their autograph, two french girls behind me, probably jealous I could speak english and discuss with them, noticed my disney bag and clothes and started to make anti disney remarks "laburinth, now that was a good movie, unlike all that crap from disney" loud enough so I could hear so I asked them "how is your son toby froud" (who played the baby in labyrinth) they said "he s not here with us because he s in new york working on all the giant puppets for the lion king broadway show" so there ! you can like apples and oranges, same family! no doubt they re mary poppins fans

[@CreativaArtly]

I absolutely loved it. I went and saw it this past Sunday with my dad and my grandma. We had an absolute blast. The Easter eggs were through the roof.

[@ledylanclair]

What a breath of fresh air. Not only was this film rejuvenating, but the nostalgia was absolute. I will watch this again, and again. A lot of life lessons to be learned. Perfect for the new generations, and those to come.

[@sillyrabbit734]

You know, I would have loved a cameo Of Julie Andrews - perhaps at the end, on a cloud somewhere, where they both land, (Julie's and Emily's) the original and the new, great each other with: " Hello Mary" (Julie) - "Mary" (Emily) - with both then looking at the camera saying - "We never explain anything." A coven of Marys flying through the sky helping children in need. Course, I'm sure this couldn't be done, breaks with the books to be sure.

[@halleluiah01]

You are so clever that's a really good idea! that would have been a really good way to do that.

[@julissapineda2618]

I would have loved the cameo being the reflection of Julie Andrews’ Mary Poppins on the balloon at the end when Emily Blunt’s Mary sees herself.

[@paige6816]

I watched the original Mary Poppins just a few days ago, just so I wasn't confused on what was going on. For me, nothing can compare to the original, but Mary Poppins Returns definitely was amazing.

[@ColorWhiz]

Thank you for creating your video comparisons. I have lived by Mary Poppins rules (and sing every song front to back) my whole life and was thrilled to get another cinematic taste that not only honored the first movie, but made Mary more like P.L. Travers had written her...more sternly. I can imagine yet another movie with yet another actress playing her for another generation...continually making her life lessons relevant to multiple generations. If you think about it, every reader pictures the author's story in their own heads as they read, and multiple Mary's helps her never age. Love the first, love this one. No need to decide which masterpiece is better, enjoy both over and over again...after all, Pamela wrote 8 different books with lots of stories. Hopefully more movies are to come. I asked a younger acquaintance of mine several years ago (before I knew there would be a new Mary) if she had grown up on Mary Poppins, and the answer was no. Nor had she shared the former film with her young children. I immediately sent her a 40th Anniversary DVD. (It has more background material.) I was nervous this new film would fall flat by trying to copy the former. Like any piece of art, it ain't art if it's a copy, so I am thrilled by the new film and it's new cache of delightful songs to add to my repertoire. I've seen it 4 times already, and I adore all the loving references (easter eggs) made to former cast members and relationships to the first movie. Gorgeous! The cover is not the book!

I agree, but not because of Emily Blunt. I thought she was one of the great things about the movie. The script and the songs on the other hand. Ugh. I knew exactly where the certificate was the moment we saw it on screen and was just waiting the entire movie for the father to finally find it. Also, my toddler got bored at around the Topsy scene so it was even harder to stay engaged in the tired plot line. lol

[@ginauccelatore3002]

I saw it with a friend and her three children, a toddler (who applauded at times!), a pre teen '(my star wars friend who helps me with the new toys because I have no patience with legos and never was into it before) and a teenager pretending to be bored but actually liked it it was a premiere show with special activities like decorate your own kite (and keep it), have your picture taken with the original mary and bert (really cinema clerks) and received commemorative buttons, and balloons we all had a lot of fun then I went to see it again alone and that s when I cried and cried two very different experiences like star wars, it was great to pass it on to a new generation accepting to turn off their I pods to watch a movie and be as thrilled as I was in 1964

as a christian ,I love the spirituallity in it, from the moving lullaby to the balloons taking you UP and even michael's song "the conversation" being one of the sadly numerous movie goers who have recently lost a loved one, the film really helped me deal with it and released the tears locked inside did a much better job at it than the otherwise excellent "nutcracker and the four realms" which shows it from a different angle so you can t really compare welcome instrumental cameos from the shermans two generations of wonderful composers meet and complete each other thank you for the picture of carrie fisher as mary poppins, she would love that !

Mary Poppins left a lifelong impression on my childhood. Took 7 year old daughter to see it. Amazing!!!

E C3 I’ve never seen a musical or kids film in the cinema where the toddlers and young children were sat on the edge of the seat and could barely move. I was extremely impressed with this musical film. Last film that I was extremely impressed by in the musical genre was Chicago. The kids were in awe Of the imagination, choreography, and sheer energy that came with the film. For me it doesn’t actually for sure anyway because of the attention that they gave it and what it did to the children who were in the screening.

Mary Poppins has always held a dear place in my heart. Emily did her such justice and as Rob says, there’s no one else who could’ve filled Julie’s shoes better than Emily has. The two movies are so different from each other, yet the parallels, the songs, the animation etc give it such a nostalgic and magical feeling. I cried so much before, during and after having seen the film! I enjoyed it so much I’m going back tomorrow!!! This movie really deserves all the buzz it’s getting and I hope they get that well-deserved Oscar nom!!!

A few years back, I heard Julie was pushing for Anne Hathaway to play MP. I wonder if there was any truth to that.

It's not a competition. Julie Andrews and Emily Blunt are actors -neither one of them is a fictional nanny. The sequel doesn't alter one frame of the 1964 film. It's possible to love them both. Unless, of course, you're stunted in the love department.

This was a DELIGHTFUL sequel. The original was and is AMAZING and can obviously never be outdone. Had you any inclination that it could be? The awe-inspiring imagery, the catchy little tunes and stunning visuals had me smiling in my seat like at little child at the carnival. I went in wanting to enjoy it (instead of judge it) and that's exactly what I did. What a wonderful break from the usual film fodder and the drudgery of our current affairs in this country. It was downright delicious to see Black characters spicing up scenes in this film too. Seeing our own Dick Van Dyke was a rare and unexpected treat! When he got up and danced atop that desk, I like to have slipped out of my seat. FABULOUS! He still has The Moves! I do not think Julie Andrews would have detracted or distracted from the film in anyway. I rather think her awesome presence would have enhanced the enchantment of this adorable film...in a most delightful way. I smiled and giggled through the entire film like a child...PRICELESS! I plan to take my mother, young niece and nephews to see Mary Poppins Returns soon. By the way, the original Mary Poppins was the first movie in a movie theatre that my mother ever saw when my father took her on her 1st date over 50 years ago. Their marriage didn't last, but the magic of Mary Poppins lives on! BRAVO!

[@lukepearson5639]

I think it would have been lovely if the new movie had included the song “through the eyes of love” which was written by the Sherman bros for the first film but was eventually cut from the final version

[@michelleziskind4823]

Great job, Jan! This was really comprehensive. Mary Poppins is my favorite Disney film, so I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw Mary Poppins Returns. I found the movie really charming. Watching your video has made me appreciate the movie even more. They did a great job - big shoes to fill. I, too, enjoyed most the number about the book and the cover. My favorite scene was inside the porcelain bowl. I particularly was excited to be taken back to that world - early 20th century London. Thanks for posting! :)

[@angelaruggiero6160]

Mary Poppins Returns exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to see it again and I'm obsessed with the soundtrack.

Sarah J.R. U can’t compare these films both are different loved the sequel and fantastic storyline having the kids all grown up guess we can’t please everyone each to their own opinion

[@candycandyfu]

Better than original

[@mizzwanned]

alistair gunn-malcolm ok I won't compare. But regarding the new one..for starters there was no mesmerizing catchy good music. The music was not good. It was meh. The original -I loved every song and after watching it the first time around as a kid walked away singing the songs. Mary Poppins was more gentle -I loved her interactions with herself in the mirror several times. She was funny, witty, warm, motherly. Great voice, beautiful. I can go on. Also in the original she was more intimate with the kids (singing them to sleep). That song was great. I love Emily as an actress and have seen her in many things but didn't connect with her as Mary. I know she was trying to be more like the book but she was TOO stern looking. No gentle sweetness like Andrews. The kids in the original were sweet and memorable. They had more lines and character. Jane was cute and sweet, Michael had funny faces. I loved their song for the perfect nanny. In this one-nothing. None of them stood out. Not memorable. The little girl played her part well I guess. Lin-Manuel-awful for the part. I didn't like his little rap sequence for a Mary Poppins film. They tried to make it too modern. It didn't fit and I didn't like him as the character, sorry. He had no charisma or touching scenes with the kids, mary such as the first did. There's lots more...I just love the original.

[@mizzwanned]

Another thing is they did it too much with the cgi-whatever you call it. The ocean scene, the cartoon scene was too much. The original had as well with the green screen in everything but they did a great job. It just fit and their cartoon scene was everything with the painting, and the carousel horses that went off track. And the dancing penguins. One of my favorite scenes and songs -a jolly holiday with Mary. It's just epic. I watched it again the other night after watching the new one. It made me want to go watch the original. That movie is so nostalgic. I am sure it is different to anyone that didn't see it as a child and are now seeing it as an adult. I am also sure the new one is good to kids these days. Not saying it's not.

[@PrincessSolitaire]

Welp, to be honest I thought the new version was just ok. The anachronism of BMX bikes in 1930s London was a bit much, and although the new score is energetic, it just doesn't have the wit in the lyrics that the original Sherman Brothers score had. I will say that the first glimpse of Mary silhouetted against the sky did make me tear up a bit, and I absolutely adored seeing Dick Van Dyke in his all singing all dancing glory, along with the throw-back to the wooden leg joke. I think that the original had a lighter touch - this felt a bit like the script was trying to hit you over the head with just how magical everything was going to be, and some of the numbers could have been whittled down a bit. It is refreshing to see 2D animation back up on the big screen where it belongs, tho' so bravo to all the artists involved. Truth time - I used to work for Disney, and I met Julie Andrews while on the job; fortunately saw her coming my way, had a moment to internally prepare while silently squeeing OMG it's Mary Poppins, so - she's always going to be my Mary. She was my childhood and it was such a mind blowing experience to meet her at a time in life when I could absolutely appreciate the moment as it was happening.

[@kingcole6767]

[@crimsonruv5693]

My thoughts exactly. This script followed the original to a fault, like an annoying young sibling trying to copy their older sibling but not doing a very good job at it. I mean, it's cute, but not great. This was especially apparent in the wanna be Chim Chimney/Step in Time sequence and the Topsy scene. Two scenes that just seemed wedged in their for no other purpose but to follow in the steps of the original. My big question is, are the kids ever going to get their mother's bowl back from Topsy now that Mary's gone? lol

I'm 60 and a lover of Mary Poppins and Julie Andrews in general, as her 3 famous movies exhibit a great role model for young women- smart, assertive, fun, confident, growing. Saw Mary Poppins Returns and was impressed! It hit all the marks- no ones voice will ever compare to Julie Andrews-but that's Ok! I loved the subtle connections to the original movie, made my 21 year old daughter and me laugh and tear up. I'd like to buy a set of the original and new as my old VCR MP movie just broke last night:(

[@justahuman305]

lie, but ok

[@Aljanex]

Look, in strict rigor Mary Poppins returns is simply a sequel, it is not a remake, it does not pretend to replace or be better than the first one. This just plans to continue the story.

[@AStageForTheKingdom]

It is exact same story as the original though, so technically it is also a remake

[@ScoobyandShaggy5554]

I’m glad P.L Travers book has influenced Emily more than Julie. We love Julie’s but this would’ve pleased P.L more even though they made a sequel against her will and the animation sequence is used other than that she would’ve liked it. But considering this is a sequel with a slight difference this proves Mary is a timelord it explains the face switch and different attitude lol.

[@Grenadreams]

I'm glad someone else sees that as well!

[@aviezerscop401]

I keep saying that!

[@anttibjorklund1869]

They did have to get approval from Travers' estate.

[@theSonicguy001]

She’s a better 13th Doctor than the 13th Doctor

[@ScoobyandShaggy5554]

Sonicguy001 I agree

[@kermitefrog64]

Great movie!!! I saw the original movie when I was 4 years old and many times after that. This is just as incredible return. We have seen the movie twice. Loved the Vaudeville act with its tongue and cheek humour. I believe the movie should get a number of Oscar nods and Emily Blunt and Lin-Manual should get the Oscars for the performances.

[@chriscoletti4852]

Saw it today. Was so glad they kept the spirit of the original alive. They didn't try to sneak in jokes for adults or change the style. It was an enjoyable 2 hours

[@jennyliew2057]

Saw Mary Poppins Returns & Emily was Excellent.

[@tracyhudson1674]

Loved it warmed the heart it didn't try to copy I was afraid of that but after seeing Mary popping returns it was wonderful 😊

[@katewong1078]

Hi, I'm from Malaysia.I just watch this movie in cinema this morning.I like this movie also 1964 version because of Julie Andrews.Actually I'm not really know actors in 2018 version cause I'm not always watch English movie.But I really like their act in this movie and song's and dance are very nice 😍

[@Vikernes-f9u]

KATE WONG Wong watching at Mary poppins sings Pink Floyd

[@barbraseville8984]

I was beaming during the whole movie. A perfect fantasy escape.

[@FlicksAndTheCity]

So happy you enjoyed it so very much, Barbra! Me too! It's just a wonderful feel-good film. :-)

[@kingcole6767]

Agreed!!!

[@melturcotte8848]

Since it's such a classic, I think that it's perfect that they made a return instead of a remake! I really enjoyed it 😊

[@freezenuts]

I watched it yesterday and I prefer the old one

[@siobhanmcgoldrick7937]

Me to nothing can beat julie andrews no chance

[@ce4d]

Great movie! When they say you might shed a tear. Well that's an understatement...its nostalgic

[@mckenna8663]

I thought Emily did a wonderful job as Mary Poppins. But one thing took me out of the film a few times with her performance ... There were a number of times where Emily was smiling so broadly that you could tell she was having a fantastic time making the film. But I don't see that as the Mary Poppins character. Even when Julie Andrews was happy and smiling in the original film, it was a very controlled happiness. Emily's Mary seems to be bursting out of her skin-happy. I would be taken out of the film-magic each time that happened; thrilled to see and share Emily's exuberance, but no longer seeing Mary Poppins in her.

[@AnzuBrief]

Thank you!! I think they got it all wrong when they said Emily's Mary is closer to the books. Julie's Mary was sterner, as you said, even when she was smiling it was a very controlled happiness and when she was doing something fun she did it "under pressure". Emily's Mary is very joyful, it seems like her sterner side is mostly a very slim charade and inside she obviously is full of love and joy.

[@danicaschmanica2284]

Where the Lost Things Go was my fav song I think, very sweet! Overall I think they did a great job. Magical in it’s own way while still holding true to the original.

[@larrysmith7301]

Saw the film last night and really enjoyed it, as did the rest of the full house as there was applause at the end. I agree the best song/dance number was The Cover is Not the Book. Emily Blunt was practically perfect in every way.

[@lauraalexander5737]

In like 50 years the original Mary poppins will be 100 years old !! (I don’t know exactly when)

[@lindayoung5767]

It definitely does!! I am totally smitten with it! There is much to inspire as well as to lift spirits. Love the music, dancing, characters and a show that reminds and helps us reclaim 'magic'. It needn't be left behind in childhood. It's as if the whole movie reminds us of the sweetness of us all and bids us all 'remember'

[@becky8668]

Love both movies equally

[@halfpint0351]

Absolutely loved the film.

[@MagicalMusic34]

Mary IS a Time Lady! I knew it! 😍

[@TheHarrip]

I'm only gonna say this once. Growing up in the UK, some kids move and the accent just a few miles away can be totally different so as they grow up in the new place they pick up that accent but it's always a bit off, I've seen it often. So I have no problem with Berts accent, I might even say Dick Van Dyke was an accidentall genius haha.

[@parismademoiselle6210]

really enjoyed the movie! emily Blunt was brilliant! x

[@Ourfriendvirch]

I seen Mary Poppins Returns yesterday and it was extremely good

[@staceyhaggart6647]

Me too 😁😁😁😁😀😀😀😀

[@johnshafer7214]

Took my nine year old daughter and six year-old son it too. Great movie! They enjoyed it and so did I. Both movies are great.

[@hannemanart]

"Cover Is Not The Book" felt like a Gertrude Lawernce and Noel Coward number "Has Anybody Seen Our Ship?" .... Ironically, Julie Andrews played Gertie Lawernce in the movie STAR!

[@jearnott]

I’m glad someone else has noticed this - and she slips to Cockney. Is this Poppins’s true accent, l wonder?

[@Ella-nx1lt]

I watched Mary Poppins returns at the movies last night and I loved it ❤❤❤

[@pedinurse1]

I dont think we should compare them. Its not fair to the actors or to the spirit of this great story. I thought Mary Poppins Returns was fabulous, loved every minute of it, the actors were superb, the music wonderful. I think it will take a while for the new songs to be remembered because those old songs had such distinctive, pronunciation and unusual words. Nevertheless less this new movie made me cry, smile and left me with the desire to see it again. Emily Blunt was superb.

[@Father_of_Death]

I loved how "Mary Poppins Returns" brought the film closer to the original books. I've read all of them and I don't think there was any other way they could have done it.

[@theciav]

The sequel was practically perfect in every way. Two very different films and both totally stand alone. I honestly loved the clever ties between the two films. Emily and Julie are my hero’s ❤️

[@mejrpi5]

I loved this movie. It's "practically perfect in every way."

[@NathanPiscopo]

At this point anyone who plays Mary Poppins is fine by me. The most important thing is that she has come back 💖🌂 But seriously Emily Blunt has done a really great job in this movie.

[@FlicksAndTheCity]

Yes, she's really excellent in the role, totally agree, Nathan! :-)

[@normamagnuson6014]

Nathan Piscopo desef

[@andrewdodd1918]

A very welcome, although a little wary of what they may or may not have done to ruin my childhood, it was a wonderful experience all over again. I can't believe that it's 4 years older than me and both films still make me smile. Which is the point of both films, if the world is feeling a little threatening treat yourself to a happy and fun sequel that does just as much for you as the first film.

[@STho205]

Dick van Dyke's affected accent in 64 was practically perfect in every way! As he recounts, he worked on the film with over a dozen accomplished British actors, costarred with Andrews and had a voice coach, well Pat O'Malley. NOBODY corrected his over the top Cockney accent. To be fair, Andrew's flowergirl accent in "My Fair Lady" on stage was pretty well over the top too.

[@LunCham]

4:10 such a sweet glance

[@MmDisney200]

Mary Poppins Returns is incredible 😭 agree with every word u said 🙏🏼

[@alvingilchrist7782]

Julie Andrews' Mary Poppins was a real person. Emily Blunt's was a cartoon version. This remake tries so hard to be entertaining but fell way short for me.

[@MissFlow]

Dick van Dyke's manner of speaking has such a high nostalgic value to me that I didn't even realise people found it a bad accent. Dick has Dutch blood but I have no idea that's part of the 'problem'. I loved his manner of speaking and gave him so much character

[@julissapineda2618]

When Emily Blunt’s Mary Poppins sees her reflection on the balloon, I was truly hoping it would have been the face of Julie Andrews’ Mary Poppins what she sees. Practically perfect in every way and no explanations given 🥰

[@Fuzz.A]

I was overly joy when they announced Emily Blunt as Marry Poppins. She is a great and charming actor

[@odiledupagne2576]

I agree with your comments, Though I certainly missed all my favorite songs from the original one, I embraced the new one and it put a big smile on my face. Emily Blunt is certainly practically perfect in every way...Loved the posh accent! My 24 year old daughter was convinced too. A great family film!

[@JonJacobJingleheimer]

This channel basically disappeared from my recommends I guess because I haven't been seeing as many movies lately and didn't want to be spoiled by some of your latest videos. Still, I've hit the notification bell so I don't lose track of this channel again.

[@FlicksAndTheCity]

Thanks so much for hitting the bell. I understand about the spoilers, what you can do if YT recommends you a video but you don't want to watch it is add it to your "Watch Later" playlist. I think you can do this directly from the home page if a video is recommended there.

[@goldiegibson7968]

I haven't seen it, but you did an excellent review. Love it. As a MP fan, can't wait to see it.

[@hannahdavey6813]

I thought the sequel was fantastic I love them both but the sequel was amazing I thought it was the perfect Ballance of new story lines and throwbacks to the original
