Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson bring to life the untold true story about the origins of one of the most treasured Disney classics of all time. John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) directs this acclaimed film, which reveals the surprising backstory behind the making of Mary Poppins. Determined to fulfill a promise to his daughters, Walt Disney (Hanks) tries for twenty years to obtain the rights to author P.L. Travers’ (Thompson) beloved book. Armed with his iconic creative vision, Walt pulls out all the stops, but the uncompromising Travers won’t budge. Only when he reaches into his own complicated childhood does Walt discover the truth about the ghosts that haunt Travers, and together, the set Mary Poppins free.

My Thoughts
I’ve been looking forward to watching Saving Mr. Banks, even though it’s not the type of movie that normally interest me. Tom Hanks was awesome at playing the part of Walt Disney. Although I throughly enjoyed the movie, two of my children lost interest very quickly, as it was too slow paced for them to enjoy.
My favorite bonus feature was the tour of the Disney Studios, and getting a look into some of the interesting details of how Mary Poppins was made.
