Welcome to another MOVIE WEEK here at Daily Billboard and to help kick us off in style we have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious treat, as Mary Poppins Returns.
Emily Blunt dons the hat made famous by Julie Andrews in the classic 1964 Disney musical adaptation of P. L. Travers magical nanny, Mary Poppins.
Some iconic movies you just don't mess with or make a sequel to, so can director Rob Marshall, Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda's lamplighter 'Jack' recapture the spoonful of sugar that the original had and also delight audiences with its own unique magic?
This time the spellbinding nanny returns to Depression-era London to help the grown-up 'Banks' children, 'Jane' (Emily Mortimer) and her brother 'Michael' (Ben Whishaw), now a father of three children himself, rediscover the joy they knew when they were younger.Also along for the musical ride as characters and cameos are the likes of Dick Van Dyke, Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Julie Walters and Angela Lansbury, plus more than a few animated creatures.
These charming movie billboards were spotted above the Sunset Strip, Santa Monica Boulevard, Pico Boulevard and La Brea Avenue from November 11 to December 1, 2018.
Fans of Emily Blunt can also check out these film billboards for The Girl on the Train, these A Quiet Place movie billboards and these billboards for The Five-Year Engagement, to name but a few.
Only time will tell whether Mary Poppins Returns will garner the same critical acclaim, match the original's thirteen Oscar nominations and five wins, and become the same universally beloved movie that generations will enjoy for years to come.
Stay tuned for more movie offerings this holiday season and let's hope this Disney movie is practically perfect and has more than an element of fun to delight cinema goers this December.

UPDATED: Congratulations to Mary Poppins Returns for garnering four Golden Globe nominations, including for Best Motion Picture - Music or Comedy and for Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda. As you can see these accolades were added atop the movie's super-sized billboard along the Sunset Strip and snapped on December 26, 2018.
