ReviewsNew York Daily News - The slick but moving SAVING MR. BANKS transcends its corporate pedigree to become a great Disney movie about making a Disney movie., New Orleans Times-Picayune - Speaking of good storytelling, Hancock knows a thing or two about that. Not only does the BLIND SIDE director deftly navigate the double narrative of Saving Mr. Banks, but his film is also a visual treat., Empire - This is not a simple story of an uptight English woman induced to loosen up by those freedom-lovin' Yanks, but a delicate and brilliantly acted story of overcoming the past to embrace an uncertain future. Emma Thompson, in particular, is magic.
Consumer AdviceContains scenes of emotional upset
Additional InformationThe story of how Walt Disney courted P.L. Travers into letting him option the rights to MARY POPPINS is brought to the screen in this non-fiction drama starring Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson, and Colin Farrell. A doting father, Walt Disney (Hanks) promises his adoring daughters that he will bring their favourite fictional nanny Mary Poppins to the big screen. Little does Walt realise that surly author P.L. Travers has no intention of seeing her most famous creation bastardized on the big screen, a fact that makes keeping his promise a difficult endeavour. Years later, however, when Travers' book sales begin to slow, dwindling finances drive her to schedule a meeting with Disney to discuss the film rights to the beloved story. For two weeks in 1961, determined Disney does his absolute best to convince Travers that the film version of MARY POPPINS will be a wondrous and respectful adaptation, meanwhile the author only grows more convinced that she has made the right move in preventing the proposed film adaptation. Later, just when it begins to appear that the rights to Mary Poppins have slipped through his fingers, the ingenious Disney reflects back on his childhood, and realises that a sensitive chapter from Travers' youth could be the key to clinching the deal. Bradley Whitford, Paul Giamatti, and Jason Schwartzman co-star.

  • Brilliant cast always believable

    With real stars like Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks it couldn't fail. The jokes between the screenwriters were really great. Watched it twice already.
