I just got out of the theater after seeing "Saving Mr. Banks" on the big screen. I have waited 13 long months for this movie, so was happy to see it. The movie is about Walt Disney trying to persuade Marry Poppins author P.L. Travers to make a film based off the book. In the movie, we learn that the book reflects on her childhood. This explains why she doesn't want to give over the rights to make a film. We learn about her past through many flashbacks in the film. After a few long weeks in the "City of Angels", P.L. Travers is able to connect with Walt and signs off the rights.
I have been excited about this movie for a while. I did feel like there were too many flashbacks throughout the film, making me feel like I was watching 2 different movies. I really did enjoy the movie though. There are a lot of great and funny scenes, but others that made your eyes water. The movie has a wonderful cast, and you can really connect with each one of them. Emma Thompson was a perfect fit for P.L. Travers, as she excelled playing a pessimistic lady. Tom Hanks was great as Walt Disney!
I truly recommend seeing this film, as it has a heartwarming message to all of us.
Out of 10, I would rate the film a 9!
