Backstage with Sandy Kenyon: 'Mary Poppins Returns'

[Mary Poppins Returns is not a remake of the beloved 1964 classic, rather a sequel that takes place a quarter century after the original.

In the new film, the two children from the original are fully grown but once again in need of her help.

Emily Blunt is practically perfect as Mary Poppins -- in fact, it's impossible to imagine anyone else doing the role quite as well.

"What I love about the character is that she just renders you helpless but to comply with whatever she wants," Blunt said. "And she is a disciplinarian, and yet she's really eccentric and batty. And so I just really just fell in love. Such a delicious character."
