Hm, well, it’s more about whether you like Julie Andrews or Emily Blunt better for the role, I’m assuming. I personally think Julie Andrews would make a more charming Mary Poppins, but then again, I’ve yet to see the new one.

Also, I made a theory a long time ago that Mary Poppins was a fairy, because according to official Disney Fairies lore, there are many different kinds of fairies, and most laughs don’t make it to Never Land, so they become fairies on the Mainland, and are usually human-sized. (The books describe these fairies in a very condescending manner, but I think that’s just because the books are from the perspective of Never Fairies themselves, so they’re bound to think they’re better than fairies that have a more human influenced lifestyle and appearance.)

Obviously, that was before I found out the movie was based on a book, which means it’s probably more about the Banks family themselves.
