Mary Poppins Returns (2018) Trailer Reaction

Mary Poppins Returns (2018) Trailer Reaction
Fifty-four years ago Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke starred in the timeless Disney classic Mary Poppins. Now set for her own sequel in an all-new adventure starring Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda, the classic magical nanny returns to check up on the Banks children going through struggles of their own as parents and help them believe in the impossible again.

Disney recently dropped the official trailer AND supercalifragilistic does it look like my Christmas is going to be a 1000x full of feels than it usually is. Let's check it out!

PHEW. Thank God it's over, because I'm pretty sure I got chills from beginning to end, and won't be able to recover. How can anyone not be excited for this movie? It's starring Emily Blunt. That's all you need right there to go the movies. And then you add Lin-Manuel Miranda, cameos by Dick Van Dyke (my original fandom boyfriend before anyone else) and Angela Lansbury, beautiful music, gorgeous costumes, and YEAH, the reminder of being a kid instead of cynical adult that all we need right now since the world is an actual trashfire...Damn it.

On a serious note, with all of the unnecessary remakes and reboots coming out on tv and in theaters, intermittently I'll start thinking about how cinema is in a tough spot to create original movies. And then a trailer like this comes out that tingles every bone in my nostalgic-wary body and soul, and the depths of my cynical heart warms up again. Even if the lines between remake and sequel are blurred as usual, yes, I'm excited about Mary Poppins Returns. How much am I excited? Here's a tour of my emotional breakdown.
