Listen to Two Mary Poppins Returns Songs from the Upcoming Film

Walt Disney Pictures has revealed a pair of new songs from the upcoming film Mary Poppins Returns. The first, titled “The Place Where Lost Things Go,” is sung by good ole Mary Poppins herself Emily Blunt, and is a soft melody reminiscent of the songs “Stay Awake” and “Feed the Birds” from the classic original. While the second is a more upbeat tune sung primarily by Hamilton writer Lin-Manuel Miranda. Check them out in the videos below (via Cinemablend)!

Set in 1930s depression-era London (the time period of the original novels), Mary Poppins Returns is drawn from the wealth of material in PL Travers’ additional seven books. In the story, Michael (Whishaw) and Jane (Mortimer) are now grown up, with Michael, his three children and their housekeeper, Ellen (Walters), living on Cherry Tree Lane. After Michael suffers a personal loss, the enigmatic nanny Mary Poppins (Blunt) re-enters the lives of the Banks family, and, along with the optimistic street lamplighter Jack (Miranda), uses her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives. Mary Poppins also introduces the children to a new assortment of colorful and whimsical characters, including her eccentric cousin, Topsy (Streep).

Mary Poppins Returns is set to open in theaters on December 25, 2018.
