Poppins Is Back!

In addition to the return of Winnie the Pooh and friends, Disney is also set to revisit the world of Mary Poppins in the upcoming film Mary Poppins Returns. Once again, the young children of the series are now grown-ups and struggling with issues they cannot handle alone until their childhood friend returns.

Here is the teaser from Disney:

Return of Pooh

Disney has become very focused recently on remaking its animated classics as live-action films, and it is now set to release a series of big-budget sequels to other productions.

The first to come out is Christopher Robin. Apparently, Robin has grown up into a depressed middle-aged man (played by Ewan McGregor) and needs the help of his childhood pals from the Hundred Acre Woods to set things right. The CG Pooh looks a bit like Ted (from Seth MacFarlane's adult comedy from a few years ago), but, reminiscent of Michael Bay's use of voice actors from the Transformers animated series in the live-action films of that franchise, he is voiced by Jim Cummings, the Pooh of Disney's long-running television series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh from the late 1980s and 1990s. Like Transformers, all other characters appear to have new voices.
