Mary Poppins Returns follows the grown Banks children and Michael's children on a new adventure with the magical nanny. Michael's wife has died and he is bankrupt when Mary Poppins comes to help. She takes care of the 3 children in her magical musical way. Jack, the lamplighter, accompanies them on their adventures in depression-era London.
Upsides
Not a reboot!
The characters fit well together
Some good music
The costumes
Lamplighter song
Downsides
Some not as good music
Very much a repeat in story structure from the first one
Mary now more based on the books, which means a more brash and edgy Mary
Forcable inclusion of rap for Lin-Manuel Miranda
