The trailer opens on a gray, cloudy London street. The camera pans to show Michael and Jane Banks, now adults, cleaning out of the attic of their childhood home.

After throwing away a large box, a green kite drifts away in the blustery sky. A little boy begins to fly it with the help of a street lamplighter, played by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
