The first full-length trailer for Mary Poppins Returns, Disney’s highly-anticipated reboot starring Emily Blunt, is here, and it’s good. Very good.

This new film centers on the Banks “kids,” who are now grown up with children of their own. It’s up to Mary to remind them that life can still be full of magic (even as adults), and she does so with plenty of singing and dancing. Chicago director Rob Marshall is at the helm of Mary Poppins Returns, and Hamilton maestro Lin-Manuel Miranda appears as Jack the Lamplighter, which means the musical moments in this movie will be ridiculously on-point. In fact, the trailer doesn’t skimp on revealing many of the film’s big-ticket dance sequences, which, like the original, combine live action with animation. There’s an underwater sequence that looks absolutely breathtaking and dancing penguins appear to remind us that this is, indeed, a magical Disney production.

Watch the trailer, below.

The movie is clearly a star vehicle for Emily Blunt, but she has plenty of help from some very familiar faces, including Meryl Streep, who stars as Mary’s cousin Topsy, Colin Firth as a banker, and Angela Lansbury as the Balloon Woman. Even Dick Van Dyke is back to reprise his role from the original, and as the trailer suggests, he hasn’t lost a step. It looks like we’re in for a properly over-the-top, feel-good musical this winter that will most likely garner some awards season buzz. We can’t wait.

Mary Poppins Returns flies into theatres December 19.
