Who knows, then, what Travers would have made of the news that Disney are working on another Mary Poppins movie, Mary Poppins Returns.
Mary Poppins Returns will be released in U.S. theaters on December 25, 2018.
Mary Poppins Returns will have its screenplay written by Oscar nominee David Magee based on The Mary Poppins Stories by P.L. Travers, with Oscar nominee and Tony Award winner Marc Shaiman composing an all-new score and Shaiman and Scott Wittman writing original songs.
Mary Poppins Returns will be directed by Rob Marshall (Into the Woods) and is set in a Depression-era London, which is when Travers’ original stories were set.
