Saving Mini Banks

Little did you know that Walt Disney’s 1964 film erased more than half of the Banks children in the family's leap to the screen. In P.L. Travers’ original eight-book series, Michael and Jane Banks had twin baby siblings, John and Barbara, who were a major part of the story from as early as Travers’ first book; a year later, Travers' second book Mary Poppins Comes Back introduced another Banks infant named Annabel. In a subtle nod to the literary Banks, Mary Poppins Returns reassigns two of those lost children's names—John and Annabel—to two of the three children of grown-up Michael (Ben Whishaw). However, Michael’s third child is a boy named Georgie, so... #JusticeForBarbara, as the kids say.
