"Mary Poppins Returns," directed by Rob Marshall, is a charming and enchanting sequel to the beloved 1964 classic "Mary Poppins." Set in Depression-era London, the film follows the now-grown Michael and Jane Banks, who are struggling with financial difficulties and personal loss. When the magical nanny Mary Poppins, played by Emily Blunt, returns to the Banks household, she brings her unique blend of whimsical adventures and life lessons to help the family rediscover joy and wonder.

Alongside her old friend Jack, a lamplighter, Mary Poppins takes the Banks children on fantastical journeys, reminding everyone that anything is possible, even the impossible. The film is a visual and musical delight, filled with colorful characters, stunning set pieces, and heartfelt moments that pay homage to the original while creating its own timeless magic.

The soundtrack of "Mary Poppins Returns," composed by Marc Shaiman with lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman, is a vibrant and nostalgic collection of songs that beautifully complement the film's whimsical and heartfelt narrative. The score features delightful new numbers such as "Can You Imagine That?" and "A Cover Is Not the Book," showcasing Emily Blunt's captivating performance as Mary Poppins.

The uplifting "Trip a Little Light Fantastic," performed by Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cast, is a highlight, capturing the film's joyful spirit. The music blends traditional orchestration with playful, imaginative lyrics, creating an enchanting auditory experience that echoes the charm of the original while adding its own unique flair, making it an essential part of the film's magical appeal.
