![]() The shame of it is, this movie has a marvelous cast, which Marshall has always been able to find for his musical films. To top it all off, songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman are largely below their best - nothing here has anything like the breakout potential of “Supercalilfragilisticexpialidocious.” There’s catering to nostalgia, and then there’s just having no new ideas. Yeah, about that: The script hews so closely to the original film’s that you wonder why the filmmakers bothered: The lamplighter named Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda) is a pale copy of Dick Van Dyke’s chimney sweep, Mary and Jack sing and dance with a bunch of animated animals, and Jack leads a “Step in Time”-like dance number with his fellow working-class yobs. He can’t bring on Mary or show her working any of her magic without a giant swell of music from the orchestra, and he conspicuously fails to evoke any sort of wonder when she takes the children into a world of animated characters rendered in a hand-drawn 1960s style. More than any of his previous projects, this is material that could have benefited from a lighter touch, which Marshall seems unable to apply. Rob Marshall looks to be regressing as a director.

I found the whole thing about as enchanting as someone throwing a handful of glitter in my face and saying, “Oooh, magical!” Let’s not mince words here: This movie is bad, so bad that I feel embarrassed. Not a single moment in it feels in the least spontaneous or unforced. ![]() There are others, too: It’s energetic, boisterous, and overbearing. That’s the first word that’s coming to mind.

Making your Own Kite In the Mary Poppins' program, we have created an opportunity for you to create your own kite for your family. Today, kites are flown all over the world in festivals and parades.

The golden age of kite flying was between the years 1860 and.In 1752, Benjamin Franklin’s famous experiment involved flying a kite in a thunderstorm and proved that lightning is caused by electricity. ![]() Kites were originally invented in China and used in the military as early as the 2nd century BC. They were made out of silk and bamboo and designed to imitate birds, bats, and butterflies.
