Just the other day the brand new trailer for Disney’s MARY POPPINS RETURNS debuted! Yes I’m full aware I’m behind on sharing trailers with you all. Sorry!!! But check out the new poster! I’m loving the vintage feel, especially since MARY POPPINS is such a beloved classic Disney film.

I love that Dick Van Dyke will appear in this film as well! He had such an iconic role in the original as chimney sweeper Burt. But it’s great to see him once again grace the big screen as part of the MARY POPPINS legacy once again.
