A movie that attracted the adults as much as the kids, Mary Poppins Returns is a remake of the 1964 blockbuster Disney movie, starring Emily Blunt in the lead.
Here are some tweets that give you an insight into the magic Mary Poppins brings to the world.
Watched #MaryPoppinsReturns PHENOMENAL SEQUEL. Technology that makes 2.0 look like child’s play. Amazing script, performances & above all, music & lyrics. Hollywood STILL TREASURES ITS CLASSICAL MUSIC, unlike us who get into wannabe Western & Punjabi overdrive. CONTRAST GLARING!

If you haven’t seen #MaryPoppinsReturns yet, you’re missing out on one of the years most delightful and enjoyable movies, it will make you feel like a kid again. Emily Blunt is this generations #MaryPoppins and has given her best performance ever.

Only thing i found disappointing in #MaryPoppinsReturns was #ColinFirth not his acting just the character. No more Mr Nice Guy. I thought all the bad reviews was wrong. It had the magic of the first one. Loved it. #bertliveson #practicallyperfectineveryway

Just returned from taking the 6-year-old to see Mary Poppins Returns. The original has been his favorite since he first watched it two years ago. He definitely approves of the sequel, although we both agreed it was too loud in the theater. #MaryPoppinsReturns #ItWillDo

Ok don’t recall if I posted this before but I loved the movie Mary Poppins Returns. I feel like the entire movie, start to finish, was a lesson on healthy grieving. Thank you to all who made this beautiful story!#MaryPoppinsReturns pic.twitter.com/G5ffN2f6IW

Cried about 6 times at #MaryPoppinsReturns. Reminded me of time spent with my grandma & loved the magically grandeur of old musicals.

Just saw #MaryPoppinsReturns , and I don’t know who on the staff said “Mary Poppins needs more sick BMX tricks”, but they are my hero

Sobbed and laughed and cheered at #marypoppinsreturns , but mainly sobbed – I was that person crying alone in a cinema but totally worth it, so very moving and lovely.

I absolutely loved Mary Poppins as a child and was worried I would be disappointed by the Disney remake ‘Mary Poppins Returns’. I saw it this afternoon and it was brilliant. The acting and singing was amazing. Go see it #MaryPoppinsReturns pic.twitter.com/QMameaYvRv

#MaryPoppinsReturns is as bad as I suspected it would be. Stop remaking classics. Just. STOP. pic.twitter.com/Wj3FnFXd6k

I’m VERY upset the ballon lady was not Julie Andrews. #MaryPoppinsReturns

Emily Blunt’s growl during the royal doulton music hall number in #MaryPoppinsReturns will singlehandidly cure our collective depression

#MaryPoppinsReturns was the most perfect blend of nostalgic, while also being its own story. Emily Blunt was the perfect Mary Poppins and @Lin_Manuel was fantastic as well. 💙❤️

Several reviews saying the songs are forgettable. The songs *are* a bit forgettable, but just because you can’t start humming them five minutes after leaving the cinema doesn’t make them bad. And surely anything is forgettable compared to the original score? #MaryPoppinsReturns

#MaryPoppinsReturns was a pure delight – particularly that gorgeously animated Royal Doulton Music Hall number & Meryl Streep’s hilarious cameo. Mary Poppins resemblance to a witch/wizard is uncanny, so now I can’t stop thinking about how awesome a #HarryPotter musical would be! pic.twitter.com/28AJapyMqZ

Went to see #MaryPoppinsReturns with @gillysam20 last night. Not great but anything is worth seeing for @Lin_Manuel. pic.twitter.com/sUGwhwoO3e

Had such an AMAZING time watching Mary Poppins Returns!! It was MAGICAL! @Lin_Manuel I did cry and my mom was trying to get me to calm down, and the people around were trying to give me water, I couldn’t handle it. I loved it so so much! ❤️#MaryPoppinsReturns #LinManuelMiranda pic.twitter.com/rjBVdPWDmN

It wasn’t THAT bad. It wasn’t great, but not THAT bad. #MaryPoppinsReturns https://t.co/FCk7XcmFlO

My weeping was mostly contained until the woman next to me quite forgot herself mid-song and applauded. What a joy! #MaryPoppinsReturns #LinManuelMiranda #EmilyBlunt #allthewhimsyplease #holdontighttothoseyoulove

Took my daughter to see #MaryPoppinsReturns tonight. Everyone was clapping by the end, it was so good! Thank you #EmilyBlunt , @Lin_Manuel & all involved for bringing the magic❤️

#MaryPoppinsReturns is practically perfect in every way. It’s everything that’s right with movies… ☂️ @MaryPoppins

Absolutely loved #MaryPoppinsReturns – went in thinking we wouldn’t like it as much as the first but ended up coming out singing all the songs and telling everyone to go and see it. If you’re on the fence, definitely go and see it for yourself! @MaryPoppins pic.twitter.com/OghXQhW9vi
— Kate (@Kate_HDWT) January 3, 2019
Just saw #MaryPoppinsReturns and I now get why @johnkrasinski cried!! I loved every bit of it and #EmilyBlunt as Mary Poppins was, as they say, practically perfect in every way!! ❤️☂️

Seeing #MaryPoppinsReturns made me feel like a giddy child today! Emily Blunt is a great Mary Poppins! #Thatisall 🎈

Just seen #MaryPoppinsReturns and gotta be honest, bloody loved it! Was so concerned about it being ruined, but none of it – it was excellent! 👍🏻👍🏻

#MaryPoppinsReturns is so good! So uplifting!
— Jillie (@ArtMusicHistory) January 4, 2019
I wish it was appropriate to stand up and applaud after musical numbers at the movie theatre cause that’s what I would have done after every song in #MaryPoppinsReturns . It was so good it almost brought tears to my eyes! #practicallyperfectineveryway
— Jessica Comeau (@JHComeau) January 4, 2019
#MaryPoppinsReturns is a gosh dang delight. @Lin_Manuel is adorable, Emily Blunt is charming, and the kids really hold their own. And Colin Firth is yummy as always. GO SEE IT.

it’s been a week since I watched #MaryPoppinsReturns and it’s still making me smile. ugh that movie was… a jolly holiday 😉 (but for real tho it was so visually and audibly pleasing – a huge love letter to the first movie) pic.twitter.com/ekSMcRMmfD

Though some people are still not over the original wonder of the movie, the joy is clearly contagious.
