For those who are afraid that this sequel is not necessary, Rob Marshall comments: “Mary Poppins is the first film I saw when I was a kid. He made me love cinema, he gave me the taste of musicals, adventure and fantasy on the big screen. It is an immense honor to have been invited by Disney to adapt the other novels of PL Travers because I have always dreamed of creating an original musical comedy for the cinema. It was also an opportunity to pay homage to the classics of the genre that rocked my youth. “He also adds : “It was obvious that there were many more stories to tell. And after reading all the books in the series, we realized that we could take a different approach by focusing on the recurring theme of PL Travers’ work, which urges us not to let ourselves be consumed with disillusionment. cynicism by becoming adults, and keeping our child’s soul. ”
The Return of Mary Poppins arrives at the cinema on December 19th.
