I hated the original and will hate this version too. In fact, I hated most of the sappy Disney kids stuff.

The Chimney Sweep will either be a germophobe with OCD and breaks into homes to clean their Chimney without asking, or he will be a kleptomaniac miser who hates to bathe, and has a portrait wall of famous people who have gone years without bathing.

The two children will be revealed as adult midget refugees from the Russian Circus.
Mary Poppins will be based on a sympathetic version of Joyce “Tillie” Mitchell, the prison worker who helped two convicts escape.

Well, I just hope they don’t use this remake to push homosexuality, global warming, or any other liberal causes.
