Just heard that Disney's ABC show, Once Upon a Time has been featuring some good old fashioned Lesbian love. I love this! Good for them. I wonder if they worry about who uses their bathrooms?

Attila the Professor said:Emily Blunt, apparently, who certainly seems a credible choice, if such a project is to exist. As does, by the way, Lin-Manuel Miranda for composer, who seems as likely as anyone to remember that one of <I>Mary Poppins</I>'s best songs in its uniformly great score was about a bank.
It's interesting. The Iger regime has largely abandoned the Eisner taste for direct-to-video sequels in favor of live-action remakes of animated films, which can easily be ignored.

The Disney from my childhood was sparsely animated and mostly concerned with scaring children (Watcher in the Woods, Something Wicked this way Comes). It's better now.In 1961, the studio was a stagnant pit of mediocrity. The studio’s forays into live-action filmmaking before Mary Poppins were mostly labored, obvious, and embarrassing: They included such cringe-inducing fare as Swiss Family Robinson (1960), The Shaggy Dog (1959), and The Absent-Minded Professor (1961). Any writer of taste, which Travers was, would have had every reason to worry about how her creations would be handled by a studio with such a lowbrow track record.
The Mary Poppins film is an extraordinary thing—the only extraordinary thing produced by his studio between the years of 1962 and 1986, when The Little Mermaid saved the place.
