Supercalifragilistic nanny Mary Poppins is back in a new trailer showing how Disney's sequel marries cutting-edge digital effects with the original movie's traditional animation .
Emily Blunt stars as the magical nanny in Mary Poppins Returns, also featuring Ben Whishaw, Lin-Manuel Miranda and one of the stars of the original film, Dick Van Dyke.
Like the 1964 movie, the long-awaited sequel combines live-action actors with animated characters and settings. The CG is deliberately stylized to look like the old-school animation of the first film.
