* TruerToTheText: Just like ''Film/ReturnToOz'' (which was also made by Disney) was to ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', this sequel aspires to be truer to the source material than the original film was. In addition to setting the film in the 1930's where the actual books took place, Blunt's version of Mary is going to be more like her literary counterpart -- stern, prickly, vain, and not openly affectionate.
