Mary Poppins Returns is a 2018 musical fantasy film, the sequel to the 1964 Walt Disney Pictures classic Mary Poppins. Directed by Rob Marshall (Chicago, Into the Woods), it is set over two decades after the first film and inspired by the sequels P.L. Travers wrote after her original Mary Poppins book.It's been 25 years since Mary Poppins was nanny to the Banks children. Jane and Michael are adults; Michael has children of his own — Annabel, Georgie, and John, and still living in the family home at Number 17 Cherry Tree Lane. Unfortunately tragedy strikes the family in the midst of The Great Depression when Michael's wife dies. So Mary Poppins comes back to restore joy to their lives.Emily Blunt landed the eponymous role in February 2016. The cast includes Lin-Manuel Miranda as Jack, Ben Whishaw and Emily Mortimer as Michael and Jane Banks, Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh and Joel Dawson as Annabel, John and Georgie Banks, Julie Walters as Ellen, David Warner as Admiral Boom and Colin Firth as William Weatherall Wilkins, with Meryl Streep as Mary's cousin Topsy, Dick Van Dyke as Mr. Dawes Jr. and Angela Lansbury cameos as "the Balloon Lady".Previews: Teaser, Trailer.

Darker and Edgier
 Mary Poppins Returns / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: The film is slightly darker than its predecessor given that Michael is grieving the loss of his wife and faces the very real possibility of losing his home. Mary herself is also truer to her literary counterpart who is not as sweet as the Julie Andrews version. Also, while the original film was a case of No Antagonist (Mr. Dawes and the other bankers simply being misguided folks who initially only care of profits over people's feelings before being set straight by George Banks), this film has an actual Big Bad in the form of William Weatherall Wilkins who actively commits records tampering and fraud to ensure he can repossess the Banks residence. This is also reflected during the animated sequences in both films. The animated sequence in the first film was mainly cheerful happy and singing cartoon people and talking animals. The one here starts out that way, before taking a darker turn when one of the children is kidnapped by an evil wolf, badger, and weasel, resulting in an intense chase scene through a dark forest.

Ambiguous Situation: It's never made quite clear if Big Ben really was running fast, as Adm. Boom complained, or if the Admiral had been getting slow in his later years, as the Bankses claimed. If the former, Mary Poppins is now responsible for finally setting Big Ben correctly. If the latter, all of London is now running five minutes behind schedule.

Parents as People: Michael looks to be a Nice Guy, and he still remembers Mary Poppins and greets her cordially, but he's also grieving his wife and struggling with being a single father. It's obvious he needs help raising his three children. Any sternness he has about the children getting "nonsense" in their brains isn't because he's a stern stick in the mud, but because of all the stress he's under.

Chekhov's Gun: The old kite. Or rather what Georgie used to patch it with. Also Michael's habit of sketching on the blank backs of documents, as seen when he doodles the 'ten pound note' for John. A gun being fired from the previous film: the tuppence which was invested in the bank has achieved sufficient interest to help save the house.

Aborted Arc
 Mary Poppins Returns / int_23698fa8
comment
Aborted Arc: The animated sequence. In the whimsical world of Mary Poppins its shown that the world is whatever (or however) you interpret it. Reality largely depends upon your outlook on life, and the "animated realms" are part of said real-world. The film's Big Bad banker William Wilkins and his lawyers are depicted as a villainous con artist wolf, badger and weasel during the animated scene (and voiced by the same actors). The viewers' expectations that they are masquerading as humans to ruin the Banks family for reasons unknown are all adverted when the film opts to have this entire scene be just the children's nightmare, and their real-life appearances quickly ruled out as merely symbolism. That all said, they couldn't all have the same dream and it's clear it was Real After All.

Mythology Gag
 Mary Poppins Returns / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The names of two of Michael's children, Annabel and John, are the names of Michael and Jane's siblings who were Adapted Out for the original film. Georgie flies the kite with Jack, but it gets stuck on something. The two pull it in, to find that it's Mary Poppins holding the kite, similar to chapter one of Mary Poppins Comes Back (and the Mary Poppins stage musical). Miss Lark appears, only she has a new dog named Willoughby instead of Andrew. In the original stories, Miss Lark had two dogs, named Andrew and Willoughby. Only Andrew appeared in the first film, while only Willoughby appeared in the stage adaptation. "A Cover Is Not the Book" takes inspiration from two chapters of Mary Poppins Comes Back, "Robertson Ay's Story" and "Nellie-Rubina". Mary Poppins and Jack also perform this song in front of books bearing the titles of chapters from across the series' first fournote including "Balloons and Balloons" and "The Other Door", both of which form the film's ending, "The Day Out" and "The Marble Boy", which respectively inspired the movie and stage versions of "Jolly Holiday", and "The Cat That Looked at a King", which Disney adapted into a short extra feature for the Mary Poppins 40th Anniversary Edition DVD.. Mary Poppins promises to stay "until the door opens", quoting the chronological Grand Finale of the book series, Mary Poppins Opens the Door. Keep an ear open for snippets of several classic Sherman Brothers songs, including "A Spoonful of Sugar", "Feed the Birds", "Let's Go Fly a Kite", "The Perfect Nanny", "Fidelity Fiduciary Bank", and the very last notes of the movie are none other than "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"! The "High Tide" chapter of Mary Poppins Opens the Door inspired an underwater sequence for the original film, with the song "The Beautiful Briny," which was later repurposed for Bedknobs and Broomsticks. "Can You Imagine That" finally gives Mary her underwater musical number. Among the citizens that Wilkins and the lawyers have for foreclosure are Mr. Trimlet (a shop-owner in Mary Poppins Opens the Door) and Mrs. Corry, the latter of whom was evicted. "The Place Where Lost Things Go" has a line about Mary Poppins' dish and spoon "playing hide and seek just behind the moon." Mary Poppins takes the Banks children on a visit to the moon in her last book, Mary Poppins and the House Next Door, where the Man in the Moon — another of Mary Poppins' uncles — hoards every physical item lost on Earth. Michael's children also sing in "Nowhere To Go But Up" that they might fly to the moon.

When the Clock Strikes Twelve
 Mary Poppins Returns / int_3429147e
comment
When the Clock Strikes Twelve: The deadline for saving the Bankses' house is midnight, of course. Knowing that everybody in London takes Big Ben's "word" as law, Mary and Jack reset it to buy the Bankses a few extra minutes to get to the bank. When Mr. Wilkins says it's midnight but the clock doesn't chime, he's told that his watch must be fast. The only one in London that questions Big Ben is Admiral Boom; in the first movie, Bert said, "The whole world takes its time from Greenwich. But Greenwich, they say, takes its time from Admiral Boom." Turns out the Admiral was right all along.

Minion with an F in Evil: Mr. Frye is the only one who genuinely wants to help the Bankses, despite working as one of Wilkins's lackeys. He's apologetic to Michael on seeing how things are falling out of order since his wife died and begs Mr. Wilkins to give the man an extension on his loan. Downplayed with Mr. Gooding. While he clearly doesn't like what Wilkins is doing to the Banks family, he still follows his orders without hesitation until Mr. Dawes Jr. arrives and retakes control.

Actor Allusion: Even with the need for groceries slipping his mind, Michael makes sure there's plenty of marmalade. His actor, Ben Whishaw, portrayed the titular character in Paddington (2014), where his Trademark Favorite Food is marmalade. Angela Lansbury (the Balloon Lady) played in a Disney Magical Nanny film set in Britain that was produced following the success of the first Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks. This is not the first film featuring David Warner where the climax is centred on stopping Big Ben from ticking and resulting in the famous clock being turned back in time a little.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Mary Poppins Returns / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Especially given this is Mary Poppins after all: Mary Poppins can fix broken households, but she can't prevent every tragedy. It is reassuring, however, that she only needs to return to help Michael and his children because of unfortunate events in their lives; it means that George Banks to his last days remained a good father to Jane and Michael. As Bert warned Mr. Banks, eventually Jane and Michael are going to grow up and have children, and be too old for him to treat them like kids. They won't be able to enjoy their childhood forever, and neither will George. We see this prediction come true. Due to Mary Poppins having been out of their lives for nearly two decades, Jane and Michael have been questioning if the nanny of their childhood really did do all the magic or if it was their imagination and wishful thinking. All the stresses that come from losing his wife and possibly losing their home causes Michael to break down in front of his kids once they return home after "Trip a Little Light Fantastic". Mary Poppins "turns back time" by changing Big Ben. If she could literally change the past, she could prevent every tragedy, as above. As Mr. Dawes Jr explains to Wilkins, while Corrupt Corporate Executive /Morally Bankrupt Banker practices may result in immediate profit gains, they ultimately kill businesses in the long term because they scare off potential customers and destroy goodwill with the current ones. No one in their right mind wants to do business with a bank if they know it's looking to rip them off.

Bittersweet Ending: The house is saved and Michael reconnects with his children, but once again, Mary Poppins departs without bidding any of them farewell and they may not remember any of it after she’s gone too (the latter two are downplayed compared to the first film though). Michael and Jane also remember that the things they did with Mary Poppins as children were indeed real and they thank her to themselves too.

Race Against the Clock: The climax involves this: The family must get to the bank before midnight for one last chance to save their house — but how can they when there's only a few minutes? Have Mary and Jack stop, reset, and restart Big Ben!

Getting Crap Past the Radar

Getting Crap Past the Radar: Nellie Rubina's story in "A Cover is Not the Book" is implicitly sexual and filled with tree-related Double Entendres. Why Mary's singing this in front of children or how it got past the censors is anyone's guess.

Wham Shot: William Weatherall Wilkins being revealed to be lying about not finding a record of the Banks shares in the bank, followed immediately after by him ripping the relevant page out of his records and burning it in his fireplace. Up until then, he was seen as a Reasonable Authority Figure, but that moment shows him as the Morally Bankrupt Banker he truly is.

Subverted in that three of the animals (Representing Mr. Wilkins and his lawyers) turn against the kids and steal Georgie's stuffed giraffe Gillie among their other belongings, turning this dream-like adventure into a nightmare.

What the Hell Is That Accent?: Subverted. Lin-Manuel Miranda stated that his goal was to sound like "someone who comes from a different planet entirely," but worked with a dialect coach to have Jack's accent sound a bit more authentic than Bert's. Lampshaded In-Universe with Topsy, whose accent is ambiguously Eastern European, but never revealed what part. Mary Poppins says, "We have no idea." Topsy is just about to explain it but Mary cuts her off mid-sentence, apparently not wanting to learn the answer.

Rule of Symbolism: Michael tosses out drawings of his family to the side, with one of them being the Certificate of Shares because they aren't important to him. It's only at the end when Georgie remembers the kite — patched with a picture that is that certificate and Michael recalls those memories of flying the kite does he see past the family and see what he was looking for. In other words, in his attempts to obtain what he wanted, he forgot what he truly had this entire time.

Heroic Bystander: Jack and the lamplighters serve as this on multiple occasions. In the beginning, Jack grabs Georgie just as the wind is about to blow him away, and helps him reel in his father's kite. He helps the kids get home when they become lost in the fog, with a song and dance number to lift their spirits. Then when the Banks need more time to get to the bank, Jack calls the lamplighters to stop Big Ben for a few minutes and buy those precious seconds.

"A Cover Is Not the Book" takes inspiration from two chapters of Mary Poppins Comes Back, "Robertson Ay's Story" and "Nellie-Rubina". Mary Poppins and Jack also perform this song in front of books bearing the titles of chapters from across the series' first fournote including "Balloons and Balloons" and "The Other Door", both of which form the film's ending, "The Day Out" and "The Marble Boy", which respectively inspired the movie and stage versions of "Jolly Holiday", and "The Cat That Looked at a King", which Disney adapted into a short extra feature for the Mary Poppins 40th Anniversary Edition DVD..

John and Annabelle talk about selling their mother's Royal Doulton Bowl to pay for the debt on their house; after a scuffle that leads to it breaking, Mary Poppins takes them to her cousin's shop to fix it. Topsy kindly says that the bowl, even if repaired, isn't worth much. Annabelle's face screams My God, What Have I Done? for bringing up the idea.

Double-Meaning Title
 Mary Poppins Returns / int_a4905771
comment
Double-Meaning Title: "Can You Imagine That?": A phrase commonly used by the disbelieving or gossipy, as if discussing something too crazy to be believed, and Mary's tone in singing the phrase sometimes alludes to that usage - but she is also literally asking the children, who have had to grow up too fast, if they can still use their imaginations in a childlike way. "Trip a Little Light Fantastic": A play on the phrase "Trip the light fantastic" (an old term for dancing) and a reference to Jack and the other lamplighters lighting up the lamps of London - "tripping the light" meaning to turn it on at night.

This is also reflected during the animated sequences in both films. The animated sequence in the first film was mainly cheerful happy and singing cartoon people and talking animals. The one here starts out that way, before taking a darker turn when one of the children is kidnapped by an evil wolf, badger, and weasel, resulting in an intense chase scene through a dark forest.

Of course, being a MacGuffin, the signatures are missing, so Mr. Dawes Jr. saves the day with the tuppence from the first film.

But considering he tried to destroy any and all records of the Bankses' shares in the bank, he really ought to be in prison for such blatant fraud. The Balloon Lady implies it's his choice if he wants to try redeeming himself or not.

Non-Nude Bathing: A Zig-Zagging Trope when Mary gives the Banks children a bath. The children enter the bath in their underwear, leading into a Fantasy Sequence in which they are each wearing an Old-Timey Bathing Suit. When the bath ends, we return to the real world and the kids are now wrapped in Modesty Towels, apparently indicating that they were "really" naked for the duration of the fantasy scene. But why then did they enter the bathtub in their underwear, other than, of course, Disney not wanting to show them naked?

Truer to the Text: Like Return to Oz (which was also made by Disney) was to The Wizard of Oz, this sequel aspires to be truer to the source material than the original film, relatively speaking. In addition to setting the film in the 1930s when the books take place (and the first ones were written), Blunt's version of Mary Poppins is more like her literary counterpart — stern, prickly, vain, and not openly affectionate.

Hope Spot: John and Annabelle talk about selling their mother's Royal Doulton Bowl to pay for the debt on their house; after a scuffle that leads to it breaking, Mary Poppins takes them to her cousin's shop to fix it. Topsy kindly says that the bowl, even if repaired, isn't worth much. Annabelle's face screams My God, What Have I Done? for bringing up the idea. In the climax, it turns out that one piece of the certificate of shares (which was cut up by Georgie to patch the old kite) is still missing, so the Bankses will lose the house after all. Just as they're accepting this, the trope is joyously subverted with the arrival of Mr. Dawes Jr., who knows the Bankses are good people and is not happy with Wilkins over his dishonest dealings. Then he reveals that the tuppence Michael gave his dad in the first film was invested and collected a lot of interest over 25 years — enough to save the house.

Clock Discrepancy: Admiral Boom claims that Big Ben is several minutes out, and his firing of the morning cannon is correct. Turns out he is right. Much later in the film, Mary Poppins and Jack black out the faces of Big Ben, then stop, reset and restart the clock to buy the Banks family a precious few minutes in their Race Against the Clock. Coincidentally, this puts Big Ben on the correct time. And when Wilkins complains that it has already gone midnight by his watch, he is asked which is more likely to be correct: his watch or Big Ben?

The film is slightly darker than its predecessor given that Michael is grieving the loss of his wife and faces the very real possibility of losing his home. Mary herself is also truer to her literary counterpart who is not as sweet as the Julie Andrews version. Also, while the original film was a case of No Antagonist (Mr. Dawes and the other bankers simply being misguided folks who initially only care of profits over people's feelings before being set straight by George Banks), this film has an actual Big Bad in the form of William Weatherall Wilkins who actively commits records tampering and fraud to ensure he can repossess the Banks residence.

Hate Sink: William Weatherall Wilkins is the Chairman of Fidelity Fiduciary Bank who takes advantage of London's slump to repossess at least 19 homes and now sets his sights on doing so for the Banks home too. Wilkins has no compulsion about doing so despite likely putting multiple families out on the street purely for profit. He's extremely unrepentant about it to the point that his own uncle fires him at the end of the movie. Even after he is let go, he does not leave without yelling at his uncle for being "off [his] crumpet."

Exact Words: Mary Poppins, Jack, and the kids along with the other leeries attempt to turn back time in the film's climax. Jack climbs up to darken the clock, while Mary Poppins sets Big Ben back five minutes, literally "turning back time." Mary Poppins promises to stay "until the door opens." The door turns out to be the door in Michael's heart where he locked away his childhood love of things and imagination. When he admits he thought he had long ago locked away those things but now they are open within him once more, and then a strong gust of wind blows around all, signalling Mary Poppins' time is up.

Big Damn Heroes: Just when it seems like Wilkins has triumphed over the Banks family once and for all, Mr. Dawes Jr., intervenes at the last second to call out his nephew for his dirty deeds against the people of London and has him terminated.

No Song for the Wicked
 Mary Poppins Returns / int_f4a8b21c
comment
No Song for the Wicked: Wilkins is the only character who doesn't sing either in his own song or part of a group number. Even when he decides to join in for the final number, he is denied that chance.

Reverse Psychology

Reverse Psychology: Once again, Mary Poppins owns this trope. She not only hires herself, as she did with Jane and Michael's own father decades prior, but she also gets Michael's kids to enjoy taking a bath and to use their imaginations by dismissing fantastical things as nonsense during "Can You Imagine That?".

Running Gag

comment
Running Gag: Of course, Admiral Boom firing his cannon returns. Unfortunately, no one ever says "POSTS EVERYONE!!" before it happens, likely because the Admiral has been running late.

comment
Meta Casting: Lansbury had been considered for the role of Mary Poppins before Andrews was cast and starred in Bedknobs and Broomsticks, which is often seen as a Spiritual Successor to the original Mary Poppins.

comment
Brick Joke: Upon asking to see Wilkins, Jane and Michael note that the old secretary used to have a large bowl of toffees they used to snatch with Wilkins asking the current secretary to get one. When the kids arrive to see Wilkins, there's now a large glass candy bowl of caramels on the secretary's desk.

comment
Evil Is Petty: Michael eventually realizes that Wilkins is this, and that disgusts him more than the bank taking their house. Wilkins wants the Banks house, even though the family has worked for Fidelity Fiduciary, and sees it as a personal prize. Michael tells the man off for insulting his children and that they were right about the kind of person Wilkins is. A few minutes later, Dawes Jr. calls out his nephew for the exact same reason.
