Yesterday I had to joy of seeing Mary Poppins Returns on opening day.  You can stop listening here, pack everyone into the car and just go yourself or stick around listen to some of the songs and then pack everyone into the car and go.  Don’t forget to order the soundtrack.  You (or the kids driving you crazy) are going to want to listen to these songs over and over again.

This is not a remake of the original Mary Poppins but a whole new story.  The Banks children are now all grown up with grown up problems and it is obvious that the nearly perfect nanny must come to their rescue.

Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda star with some assist here and there with many of your favorites:  Meryl Streep, Angela Lansbury, Dick Van Dyke, and Colin Firth.  There are echoes and familiar characters from the first film and from the books.  There are eight books so we may have other adventures ahead of us.

In the mean time, here are several of the songs but you will need to go to the movie to see the several exuberant dance numbers.  Blunt and Miranda create “almost” as much magic as Mary herself.

In A Mood

Doing some research on the branch of the family that went from Scotland to Canada before making their way to the US.  That always reminds me of this song.
