Mary Poppins Returns (2018)
This sequel to the 1964 Disney film ‘Mary Poppins’ opens in London, England during a time that is being called a Great Slump (the Great Depression of the 1930s). A lamp lighter named Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda) rides his bike around town, singing about the city’s beauties despite the depression ((“Underneath The) Lovely London Sky”). He rides down Cherry Tree Lane where the eccentric Admiral Boom (David Warner) complains to Mr. Binnacle (Jim Norton) that Big Ben’s chimes are coming in late.
