To celebrate the release of Disney’s "Mary Poppins Returns" on Digital 4K Ultra HD/HD, Movies Anywhere, Blu-ray and DVD, I'm sharing these (10) fun facts about the film, along with a video clip.
Mary Poppins Returns: Fun Facts
All the animation in “Mary Poppins Returns” is two dimensional and hand-drawn/hand-painted, just as it was in the first film.
Approximately 70 animators (ranging in age from the late ‘20s to the late ‘60s) worked on the animated sequences in the film, some even coming out of retirement just to work on the sequel to such a beloved title.
The tail of the kite with which Mary Poppins arrives in “Mary Poppins Returns,” is the actual suffragette sash worn by Mrs. Banks (Glynnis Johns) in the first film.
Each costume worn by Emily Blunt features a bow at the neck of the blouse. The bows, which vary in color and size, are a nod to Tony Walton’s work in the first film.
Photographs of Mr. and Mrs. Banks (David Tomlinson and Glynnis Johns) are displayed on the fireplace mantel in the Banks’ home.
Gille, Georgie Banks’ toy giraffe, is named after director/producer Rob Marshall and producer John DeLuca’s beloved dog.
Reproductions of several toys from the nursery in the Banks’ home in the first film are visible in the Banks’ attic in “Mary Poppins Returns,” including a St. Paul’s snow globe, a jack-in-the-box and wooden blocks that spell out Mary Poppins.
The white marble-topped table in the entryway of the Banks’ home is from the first film and currently resides at Club 33, Disney’s members-only club in New Orleans Square at the Disneyland Resort.
The set for cousin Topsy’s Fix It Shop constructed on C Stage, which took seven months to build, was the most difficult and time consuming for the props department to complete. Because the shop is turned upside down when Mary Poppins and the Banks’ children come to visit, each of the more than 538 props used for set decoration had to be hollowed out and secured with bolts and screws to hold in place.
Eight soundstages at Shepperton Studios were used to build and house the astounding practical sets, including those for: Cherry Tree Lane, Topsy’s Fix-It Shop, the top of the tower and the clock of Big Ben and the interiors of the Banks’ home (the nursery, entry stairway, study, kitchen, living room, bathroom and attic). The Cherry Tree Lane set on H Stage was the largest, taking 18 weeks to complete
The sequel is based upon the Mary Poppins Stories by PL Travers and features a sing-along version and never-before-seen bonus features.

Bonus material explores the making of “Mary Poppins Returns,” going behind the scenes with the star-studded cast and crew who collaborated to make even the impossible possible.

SYNOPSIS
“Mary Poppins Returns,” Michael Banks (Ben Whishaw) — just a child when Mary Poppins first visited 17 Cherry Tree Lane — is now a grown man raising his children Annabel (Pixie Davies), John (Nathanael Saleh) and Georgie (Joel Dawson) with help from his sister Jane (Emily Mortimer). Times are tough in Depression-era London but the winds begin to change and the enigmatic governess, whose unique magical skills can turn any ordinary task into a fantastic adventure, enters the lives of the Banks family once again, having not aged a single day.
Teaming up with an old friend, Jack, they take the Banks children on a series of whimsical adventures, encountering colorful characters like Mary’s eccentric Cousin Topsy (Streep), Jack’s lovable band of leeries and bank executives William Weatherall Wilkins (Colin Firth) and Mr. Dawes Jr. (Van Dyke) — bringing life, love and laughter back into the home.
