Taking a Look at Saving Mr Banks

Hi I am Sunni we're going to take at look today at :  Saving Mr. Banks

                                                 Saving Mr. Banks is an upcoming biography film about the production of Mary Poppins, and Mr. Disney’s quest to persuade P.L. Travers to obtain screenplay rights to her classic book.  Starring Emma Thompson as P. L. Travers, the uncompromising writer of Mary Poppins, and Tom Hanks as  An American Treasure Walt Disney.

The plot of this movie is that Walt promises his daughters that one day he’ll make a movie of their favorite book. However, Travers, not wanting her book to be mauled by the Hollywood machine, says no to Mr. Disney about making her book into a screenplay.

But soon her books stop selling, and money comes short, so reluctantly Travers agrees to Walt making Mary Poppins come to be. But she holds a tight grip on how she wants things to go, and soon she becomes almost intolerable, and Mr. Disney watches as the rights to the movie start slipping through his fingers.

Until he discovers that Mary Poppins was actually a very important person in Travers’ life as a child, and Mr. Banks was actually inspired by Travers’ father. It is only when he reaches into his own childhood that Walt discovers the truth about the ghosts that haunt her, and together they set Mary Poppins free to make one of the greatest movies in all of cinema.

Personally, it looks like a really great movie. I’m really glad they picked someone to be Mr. Disney that actually LOOKS and ACTS the part, and Tom Hanks is a great casting choice.

Emma Thompson, is a award winning British actress is a wonderful choice for the author. 

Release date is Dec 20th 2013 so excited it will be an early Christmas present for us all.
