While a Mary Poppins films done with today's resources could be interesting, and i would rather see that than rip-offs suchs as Nanny McPhee, i wonder how you can do something that is as charming, interesting and well made as the original.
Disney realy is going back to their old films and trying to reinvent them, though i honestly think there is more potential with some of their least known stuff, The Black Cauldron and Dragonslayer have some untaped potential in fact.
But with films like Mary Poppins, Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty, etc. you have stories that were already done perfectly.
Wasn't impressed by Cinderella either, the remake simply expanded upon things that didn't need to be expanded, and did so in the most cliché way possible, didn't have the courage to change things in order to accomodate to their new vision and decided to cast beautiful people in roles that are supposed to be ugly.
I kinda wish Disney would just find someone like Kevin Feige or Kathleen Kennedy, so that the quality of their products could be a bit more consistent.
No, please not another Mary Poppins. After seeing Saving Mr. Banks, I REALLY appreciate the original. And I feel like making another goes directly against what the author wanted.
If it looks good, I'll see it though. I just feel like the original is best left alone. And there are other properties I'd rather see Disney tackle than a Poppins sequel.
Didn't the writer write plenty of Mary Poppins books though? From what i remember, Disney only took adapted some of them for their film. Anyway, the original film already went against the wished of the writer.
