Disney Mary Poppins Returns is a great movie for family movie night. It received 4 Academy Award Nominations, including Best Original Song. It’s available for purchase on Blu-Ray, DVD and digital download. Rated PG with an approximate running time of 130 minutes.
“Mary Poppins Returns,” Michael Banks (Ben Whishaw) — just a child when Mary Poppins first visited 17 Cherry Tree Lane — is now a grown man raising his children Annabel (Pixie Davies), John (Nathanael Saleh) and Georgie (Joel Dawson) with help from his sister Jane (Emily Mortimer). Times are tough in Depression-era London but the winds begin to change and the enigmatic governess, whose unique magical skills can turn any ordinary task into a fantastic adventure, enters the lives of the Banks family once again, having not aged a single day. Teaming up with an old friend, Jack, they take the Banks children on a series of whimsical adventures, encountering colorful characters like Mary’s eccentric Cousin Topsy (Streep), Jack’s lovable band of leeries and bank executives William Weatherall Wilkins (Colin Firth) and Mr. Dawes Jr. (Van Dyke) — bringing life, love and laughter back into the home.
We sat down with the kids last weekend and watched Mary Poppins Returns. It was our “main feature” for family movie night. The story line is engaging and entertaining…the music is fantastic. Big E, Princess and I really enjoyed the movie. Our 3 year old got bored and fell asleep. I think its great for family movie night, but for elementary-aged school children and up. I think toddlers (like Prince) would get bored. My mom likes to give movie ratings on the films she reviews so I will do the same. On my rating scale I give this one a 7 out of 10 on the rating scale. A nice addition to your video library.
You can connect with the film on Facebook, Instagram and on Twitter @MaryPoppins. If you’re looking to buy the blu-ray DVD or DVD you can find it available on Amazon for a great price.

I loved the first Mary Poppins. I am sure that I would also love to watch this movie.
This is such a classic and the music stands the test of time. Still certainly a great one to see with the family.
I thought it was a fun movie. I can’t remember any of the songs now, though. I can sing all the songs from the first movie.
