>>> As I live and breathe.
>> You need to be more careful
when the wind rises, George.
You nearly lost your kite.
You two nearly lost your jgeorge.
>> Oh!
>> We are counting down the days
to "Mary Poppins returns"
December 19th.
>> Emily Blunt takes on the
iconic role and joined by a new
crop of banks children.
>> Pixie and Joel.
>> Hello, banks children!
>> Hello!
>> Nice the see you.
>> Nice to see you.
>> How cool is it to see
everything come together for the
first time?
>> Just incredible.
It is brilliant because you're
on the flat and it is there and
it feels like you're in the set
and you look at it and it's
magical and Mary poptpins on the
kite and it's just not
ridiculous and fun and crazy and
incredible.
>> Joel, I mean, this is your
very first movie.
Big deal for you.
What was the audition process
was it hard?
>> Yeah.
There were about seven auditions
I think.
And so, we went through, like,
the first one and I had done a
few auditions then but I hadn't
really -- it was for other
one -- other --
>> Scene?
>> Scenes?
>> Parts.
>> Characters.
And when I got -- and then I
went in here and I got my second
callback since I started.
The acting process.
And then, I just kept getting
more and more and then on like
the last day they partnered us
all up and we -- they were like
two Georges, two Johns and two
animals.
>> Like a chemistry set.
>> We were like all joined
together just to see who would
react better with who and who
looks more like brother and
sister.
>> Somebody nailed it!
>> Might be your first movie but
you were nailing the movie star
hair, brother.
The best hair I have seen.
>> Your hair flies when the wind
lifted it up like the kite.
What was your favorite scene to
shoot?
>> Ah, I think it must have been
trip the light fantastic.
Because you just get to watch
this incredible dance over and
over an it just gets better
every time and so magical
because of all the music playing
and the dancers were so
incredibly talented.
It is unreal.
>> Working with Emily Blunt,
lin-manuel Miranda, what was it
>> Merit Streep.
>> Dick Van Dyke.
These are legends.
>> Living legends and all such
lovely people.
I had the nicest time and to be
honest it's because of those
guys and they're so lovely and
it was really surreal when we
met them because you were like,
hang on.
I've seen you on addverts and
now you are here.
>> Dick Van Dyke, was he wild?
>> Dick Van Dyke was so spritely
and --
>> Spritely.
>> Spritely.
>> Crazy and loveliest man.
And just made everything magical
because he was in the original
and you see him and you're
thinking, wow, you were in that
and now I'm in it with you.
That's so crazy and your head's
going -- this shouldn't be
happening because that's not
normal.
That's crazy.
What's happening?
>> Speaking of crazy things
happening, I heard you went to
disneyland and it was like the
time.
Full-on escorts.
Like you were --
>> Yes.
>> Like the star treatment.
>> You got to ride the carousel
with the characters, Joel.
>> Yes.
>> Yeah.
>> What was it like for you?
>> It was amazing.
It was my first time so I knew
nothing about it and most of the
roller coasters I didn't want do
go but there was space mountain.
>> The best!
>> Yes.
>> Scared?
>> Yeah.
I was really scared.
I was in the very front of the
ride.
I was like -- we were like
linking arms and like -- ah!
>> So scary.
>> Crazy.
>> The time I was opening my
mouth screaming and air was just
flooding in there.
I was like --
>> Joel and pixie.
Get down to business.
L.A. A big premier, who do you
want to sneet.
>> My favorite is Anne Hathaway.
>> Done!
>> I'm obsessed with "The
princess diaries."

birthdays are coming up.
We share a birthday month.

place.
