Mary Poppins Returns cast defend 'forgettable' songs
There's only one rule laid down to journalists at the press launch of Mary Poppins Returns.
"Don't ask any of the cast to spell Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."
This point is made by the film's publicists twice over as we arrive and it's clear they aren't joking. Fortunately we think we can live with it.
Emily Blunt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Emily Mortimer and director Rob Marshall are here to talk about the follow-up to the 1964 classic, which is released in the UK this weekend.
Hollywood may be awash with remakes of films like A Star is Born, Tomb Raider and Ghostbusters, but Miranda insists this is a different beast. It is a sequel, not a reboot.
"That's an important distinction because it's not us trying to improve on Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," he tells BBC News.
"You can't improve on that, and we know that. The goal is there are eight books by [author] PL Travers, there are some amazing Mary Poppins stories that haven't made it to the screen."
