Absolutely fantastic! It’s been a long time since I saw ‘Mary Poppins’ itself, but I still have vivid recollections of it from my childhood. That familiarity with the core elements of that movie is probably beneficial to have before watching this one – though not strictly necessary, as far as I can tell. Interestingly, P.L. Travers' criticisms regarding the animated portions of the 1964 film seem valid when vie…

This film is quite good, featuring strong acting by Thompson and Hanks. Farrell’s performance stands out too; it feels like a role he was born to play. The narrative unfolds smoothly, allowing viewers to witness Travers’ early years and how the central figures within the Mary Poppins stories came to be.
