Come on Disney why mess with a good thing?

Walt died two years after its release not right after but that said I agree it's an awful idea. This is an iconic film and all they can really accomplish is to undercut the original. That's something they should never want to do. Besides, as many news and fan sources are suggesting, whose asking for this? Nobody!It's an awful idea...
My views on any and all things aside...somethings belong trapped in their own little pocket in time.
Mary poppins was probably the single greatest achievement of the Walt Disney era...he died right after. You just can't go back.
But then again...they tried to reinvent the wizard of oz too...

Reality is that was really the "last movie" of his professional life... At least on that kinda scale.
I suppose...No love for Jungle Book?
Well said. 100%I personally think Disney's recent re-makes have been tasteful and well executed, except for Malificent which, despite its great visuals, wasn't a good representation of the masterpiece that is 1959's Sleeping Beauty. Mary Poppins is arguably one of the most iconic films ever created, so hopefully if this film happens at all, they'll hire a great director and cast to do justice to the original piece. One thing is for sure: there isn't any other Julie Andrews out there.
Remember this isn't a remake, but a whole new story based in the same universe. I think they just have a lot to live up to.
I completely agree. I think Saving Mr. banks was a great movie to plus Poppins but a sequel done today I just don't think is a good idea.It's an awful idea...

Is that trailer out yet? I believe it was supposed to come out today.No love for Jungle Book?
I just don't think everything is able to be "updated"...
I can't see how a mid 20th period piece can translate to the more cynical now.
Fairy tales are timeless because their setting is entirely fantasy...don't see that with turn of the 20th century London.

Actually I'm very interested to see what they do with this movie. I think it has great potential.I'm trying to pretend it isn't happening, but Fast has this:

My understanding is that the trailer goes live today, but they're obviously on track to miss that.
