'Mary Poppins Returns': Emily Blunt's revival is the perfect homage to Julie Andrews' timeless character
Turns out, Julie Andrews herself couldn't be more thrilled about Emily Blunt carrying on her legacy as the iconic character that Andrews herself had made timeless.
Simplicity is timeless, and on the brink of the release of 'Mary Poppins Returns,' Julie Andrews' iconic rendition of the lady with sharp quips and a spoonful of sugar in the original, is living proof of that. Simple, sweet, easy to sing melodies and several other technical geniuses might have helped the Sherman brothers turn the original 1964 classic 'Mary Poppins' into a masterpiece with awards for the best original music score and also the best original song (“Chim-Chim Cher-ee”), along with three others, making it the most Oscar-decorated film in Disney history, but what one cannot deny is Andrews' evident contribution as the titular character which elevated it to such high ranks.
