Disney has dominated the box office with animated and live-action films, which include the Marvel superheroes, “Star Wars,” princesses, pirates and musicals. “It’s all about family, that’s what’s so powerful about it,” Fisher said of the film in interviews taped before her sudden death in December. Footage showed a vibrant sunset across the African plains as photo-realistic computer-generated animals congregate to welcome a baby lion. A first look at “Mary Poppins Returns” showed Emily Blunt’s take on the singing, no-nonsense nanny with magical powers made famous in the 1964 musical starring Julie Andrews. Scenes showed Mary Poppins floating from the skies holding a kite, pulling an umbrella out of her magic bottomless bag and riding in a car with lamplighter Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda) in a part-animated sequence echoing the original film.
