And Emily Blunt seems, in general, slightly colder than Julie Andrews. (I kept wondering if Emily Mortimer, who played the adult Jane, would've been a better choice.) Lin Manuel Miranda is a song-and-dance master, but his face isn't anywhere near as expressive as Dick Van Dyke's. The movie also seemed to have a different "look," with more diffused colors around the house, etc.

The kids were good actors though. And Firth and Whishaw were great.
