Surrounded by weirdoes
I dunno about you, but I think she'll rock that dress.
Wake me up at your own risk.

She's looking great so far!
"Okay, yeah, I guess Ollie fits the goofy sidekick role, but being a princess doesn't mean I spontaneously sing about everything, 'kay?"
So I decided to look at who is working behind the scenes on the film besides Rob Marshall and David Magee.
- Mark Shaiman and Scott Wittman are doing the songs. Yep, the duo who did the Hairspray musical.
- Rob Marshall has a Production Posse going on since the cinematographer, editor, production designer, set decorator, and costume designer have all worked with him before.
- There is going to be an animated sequence (an homage to the chalk drawing sequence in the original film) done by "Veteran Disney and Pixar artists". According to IM Db, so take this with a grain of salt, it will be supervised, Jim Capobianco. He was a story man for a few Disney and Pixar films and directed "Your Friend the Rat", a Ratatouille-themed short.
Now, who wants to bet we will see a teaser this Christmas?

Pixar artists? I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions, but I'll be disappointed if it's a CGI segment. At the very least, I hope it'd a Paperman blend between the two mediums.
It MIGHT be 2D. That's according to IM Db company credits which means, once again, take it with grain of salt. Besides, the article said "artists" and that can cover a lot more than animators.
Right. Its too ambiguious. I just can't help but jump to the thing I really don't want to see.
First teaser. Her grabbing a kite and landing with it is apparently out of the book.

I hope Lin Manuel has a better English accent than dear old Dick Van Dyke did. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

Looking good so far. ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
This is a title.
Obligatory: They're ruining my childhood!

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!
The Unknown
Never had any super nostalgic connection to the original film (iirc younger me actually didn't like it), so I'm probably seeing this one.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
To be fair, Miss Blunt's going to have to go some to top this:

Remembering the original Mary Poppins, it was a somewhat fantastical take on 1910 London since, let's face it, the dancing chimney sweeps ("They're at it again!") and Admiral Boom with his neighborhood shaking cannon existed without the need of a magical nanny. I think this whimsical element is reflected in Peter Ellenshaw's matte paintings. Sometimes they do the job of masking how small a set is like with Admiral Boom's ship roof but other times, like with the skylines, they are downright impressionistic and I mean that in a good way.
I should note that instead of filming at the Disney studios like the original, they went to Shepperton Studios in England and were able to do some location shooting in London. That being said, we are still in that whemsical world when we pan down to Cherry Tree Lane, only the matting is digital this time.

Not sure about it. There are way too many nods to the original in this short teaser. But I guess I will withhold my judgement about it looking good or not until we get a proper trailer.

Not sure about what? All I said was there has been an update in technology since the last film.

The teaser and the movie in general. I wasn't answering to you.
You know this film will focus on Michael Banks, when his original actor, Matthew Gaber, died when he was only 21 years old.
She/her
Now I’m sad 
I wonder if I shouldn't have brought that up, but it just always makes me sad how one of it's youngest star had such a short life. Interesting enough, the actress for Mrs. Banks, Glynis Johns, is still alive.
She/her
SHE WAS IN THE COURT JESTER ?!?!?!?
Disney stars from older generations seem to have long lives.
Yes. And she was brilliant in it.
You know what I would really love, you guys?
A Mary Poppins/Nanny Mc Phee face/off musical film, with both titular nannies fighting over which of them gets to do the big moral lessons things to a family of unruly children. With Lin-manuel Miranda doing the book and lyrics, and Emily Blunt and Emma Thompson reprising their roles, and us not being sure over which nanny would win until the last few minutes of the final reel of the movie.
