One of the most charming films of 2018—and a staff favourite—was Mary Poppins Returns. Is it any wonder why?
The movie took us back to Cherry Tree Lane, the home of the Banks family in the original 1964 Mary Poppins. Set 25 years after the first film, Michael Banks still lives in his childhood home and works at Fidelity Fiduciary Bank. So everything worked out, right?
Well... unfortunately Michael had to take out a loan to keep paying for the home. And now the bank is demanding its money back or it will take the home. Michael's children—Annabel, John, and Georgie—might be able to help their father, too. But honestly, we all know who this is a job for...
It's time for Mary Poppins to return!
Sing along at home, all you like!
It might seem surprising for a sequel that took 54 years to happen to work as well as it does, but you know what? There's something quite magical about Mary—her mix of whimsy and wisdom, stern looks and surprising silliness, is infectious whatever the year. It's why she never really stopped being a huge part of the lives of kids and adults alike.

The song that I would write for Mary Poppins would be called “With a Pop of My Umbrella”
The answer lies beyond tomorrow’s dawn.
I am entering this as Mary Poppins was the first film I saw in a theatre when I was two and it was the first film I took our daughter to when she was three. For years I thought that Mary and Bert were my true parents.
A wonderful full circle moment.
Love Makes a House a Home
kindness and generosity for a better world

The song I would name for Mary Poppins Returns is “Yell it from the rooftops!”

It would be called “No More Electronics”, if it was set in modern day. It would be about putting down your electronics to talk face-to-face and have a Spoonful of Sugar or meet chimney sweeps.

When my daughter thinks of Mary Poppins she thinks of Mary flying down with her umbrella amd the magic that ensues… so her song title is ” An Umbrella Seen Brings Magic to all”
?

Music is art for my heart ❤️
“Dolls and Dinosaurs”
Take a Lesson from a Child
The song I would write would be called Don’t Let The Magic Fly Away
My son says “Pop Goes The Mary” would be the title of his song.
If I were to write a new song for Mary Poppins, it would be called, “Pie in the sky” when there’s a new movie based on the 1975 Mary Poppins book, “Mary Poppins in the Kitchen” when the cook is on leave.
🙂 I think the best song name for Mary Poppins would be called “fly me away but I come to stay” because she visits the kids and babaysit and then flys away after
Our song would be “How do you spell Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?” (we had to look it up!)
HOPPING POPING PARADISE
