We all know the film Mary Poppins, if you came across someone who at the very least hadn’t heard of it, you’d be shocked as if something had gone wrong in the world. What a lot of people might not know (including myself until the announcement of this film) was Walt Disney’s 14 year struggle to get the rights to make the film.
Saving Mr. Banks stars Tom Hanks as the larger than life figure Walt Disney, and Emma Thompson as author P.L. Travers, and the film is already being tipped to win big at award season – it would be nice for Hanks to complete the treble at the academy awards – and it’ll be interesting to see how the story is portrayed, whether it’s all very ‘pro Disney’, or they keep true to the difficulties of the situation, as it’s Disney who are in fact making it.
The first trailer for the Saving Mr. Banks came out this past week and you can check it out below to get an idea of what kind of story this film is going to tell.
