5 Times The Mary Poppins Returns Trailer Gave Me All The Feels!

One of my favorite childhood characters from movies and books is coming back to the big screen. This time with all new adventures, but with much of the same magical and timeless reminders. I have watched and re-watched this trailer about 10 times. It makes me want to jump for joy and cry a river of nostalgic tears at the same time. I could not have hand picked a better cast. I am so excited to hear the songs and watch this new story come December. It is going to be practically perfect in every way! These are my top 5 favorite moments from the trailer.

When Mary Poppins descends gracefully from the clouds. As the clouds open up, so do the water works. There is just something about seeing her arrive on the scene that serves up new feelings of hope and excitement. I am wishing I was a Banks child all over again.
Seeing Mary and the kids be immersed and swept up in a colorful land of cartoon fun! Oh it looks like a jolly holiday alright! I love that same look and feel as the original is embodied in these short clips. It makes me want to get up and dance. I literally grin ear to ear as I watch this part.
Let’s go fly a kite! Seeing the little boy run wild and free in the wind with his kite is a childhood moment I wish I could bottle up and save for a rainy day. So pure and innocent.
The return of the Chimney Sweeps! This was only for a few brief seconds, but as they leaped in unison and jumped off of the light posts, again I am waiting to jump up and join in! These characters are one of my favorite parts from the original, and I can not wait to see their song and dance again.
I love the message of “When you lose your way, just remember the magic always returns.” How spot on is this? We as grown ups lose our way often; if only we could remember the magic during the hard, sad times. I am excited to see just how Mary Poppins brings the magic back to the Banks household.
