It’s been recently announced that a new Mary Poppins sequel is set to be produced by Disney! Although I’m sure a lot of Disney fans are cheering over the news, I’m not so sure about it.
Does Mary Poppins really need a sequel? Are there huge parts of the plot missing, or story lines that never got explained? The answer is no. At the end of the movie, the family are left content and in a good place, in a perfect ENDING to a movie. Mary Poppins did her job, and did it well. Now it’s time to leave, which she does.
We simply do not need any more filler to Mary Poppins. The first and original was enough, with a complete story-line in which all the characters are left in a state of happiness and contentment.
It’s clear that what Disney are looking for isn’t clarity, or a deeper understanding of the characters. What Disney wants is more money, and they’ll try to earn it from wherever they can. They’ve run out of original ideas, so what better idea than to butcher all their original stories into straight-to-DVD versions that might make a couple of K each at best?
Here are five other amazing Disney films that were ruined by their sequels.
