Saving Mr. Banks



Holiday Movies Day 2

"Saving Mr. Banks" is Disney's recount of the story of bringing the movie, "Mary Poppins" to life in 1961.  Funny thing is I never saw That movie.  But I am a big, big Walt Disney fan.  he is one of my heroes.

The movie is actually two stories: P.L. Travers wrote Mary Poppins and Walt promised his daughters that he would make the book into a movie. That's one story.  The second is a flashback to Travers' childhood and the inspiration for Poppins.  Tom Hanks becomes Walt Disney and Emma Thompson is her usual great self.  The surprise is the role played by Colin Farrell. 



I give the movie *** stars.  2013 Movie 55
