News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[Magicart87]

I'd love a Big Ben replica like the Eiffel Tower in France!

I would too but I suspect if we get anything it'll be more in line with Beast's Castle.

Things can and do change, but I don't expect Big Ben to actually be a part of this.

at least they said we are getting "Admiral Bloom's house" which is actually a house that resembles a ship(!!) with canons on the roof. And the house is down the street on the corner of Cherry Tree Lane I believe. There's also Miss Lark who lives next door to the Banks family.

If this is opening in 2021 then there is no chance for a dark ride IMO.

Feels that way, though it's certainly possible to build a small scale dark ride in ~2 years.

I’d be happy with a small ride that included the old GMR AAs for one scene.

You know what classic bombed? "Pinocchio" for one. <The war cut off much needed international box-office>. And of course "Sleeping Beauty" which tanked so bad at the box-office that it actually drove the Disney company into the red for the year. Its just two examples of enduring classics that failed at the box-office (even "the Wizard of Oz" was a major disappointment on release)

Okay. So are you seriously saying that Mary Poppins Returns is comparable in quality to any of those films?

 

[Magenta Panther]

As long as there is a spot reserved for the Balloon Lady

Ugh. Walt-slandering Meryl Streep? No thank you.

 

[Magenta Panther]

We get it. You hated it. You want it to be a flop (it wasn't). yada yada

It was.

Angela Lansbury was the Balloon Lady.

 

[wannabeBelle]

Meryl Streep was Mary's cousin who was to fix the bowl that the children broke. Marie

I am a pretty tough critic of most things new and redone, but I will say I thought MPR was charming and a perfect new adventure bringing the storyline more up to date. It was absolutely done in the same style as the original. Music was well done and in a similar style to the Sherman Brothers, it was beautifully filmed... There really was nothing to dislike....unless you just dislike the genre of film...

 

[MisterPenguin]

Not to mention that MPR brought in a lot of the books (if there are people who are fans of the books... I don't know any!). And it is a very well crafted story with Mary's lessons for the children leading them to a pay-off in the plot later (see things from a different point of view, the king might be a crook) all the while teaching them how to be children that aren't grown up before their time and how to deal with grief.

Sit down before you hurt yourself

 

[marni1971]

I don’t think the tent is long for this world. Not with that new event space coming.

The tent is staying.

“New event space”? You meant the thing on legs?

 

[Rich Brownn]

Okay. So are you seriously saying that Mary Poppins Returns is comparable in quality to any of those films?

Yes, IMHO.

 

[Rich Brownn]

It was.

And since you're a broken record and contribute nada... I be done with you

 

[britain]

Do you think it's possible it really is just a Meet-n-Greet but Chapek's corp-speak could only obfuscate that?

If it is just a M&G and he’s keeping details from us seemingly to build hype oh boy he has a storm coming worse than the hurricane that’s about to hit.

Something like Enchanted Tales With Belle?

 

[WowFactor]

Something like Enchanted Tales With Belle?

That's my bet
