The Balloon Lady is a minor character in Mary Poppins Returns and a balloon vendor in the park. Her balloons seem to have a magical quality as the name of whoever buys them appears on them.
Background[]
Just as Jack is intended to be a spiritual successor to Bert from the first film, the Balloon Lady has been described as the sequel's version of the Bird Woman. Angela Lansbury has had an impressive acting career spanning eight decades, but Disney fans may know her best as the voice of Mrs. Potts in 1991's Beauty and the Beast.
Role in the film[]
The Balloon Lady plays an important role during the end of the film, aside from only being seen in the background at the beginning. During the carnival, the Banks family encounters her who gives balloons to which they all have fun with, followed by Admiral Boom and Mr. Binnacle who are all having fun with theirs, followed by Mary Poppins receiving one which she lets go.
