Without giving away too much, I just saw "Mary Poppins Returns." Wherein,
there's a critical scene where Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt) and lamplighter
Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda) need to stop the clock tower Big Ben from striking
12 Midnight.
IIRC, this was already done on the "Duffy's Tavern" Christmas episode.
Great movie! Just trying to keep Disney honest.
Happy New Year from the ether,
Derek Tague
