"Saving Mr. Banks" Premieres at the Same Place it all Began

By D.Z. "Theme Park Specialist"

On December 9th, the premiere of Saving Mr. Banks was held at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. This is the same place where Walt Disney and P.L. Travers had their first meeting about Marry Poppins becoming a film.

 

Stars Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson, along with much of the cast, attended the event.

 

 Special guests included Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews (from the original Marry Poppins film), Bob Iger (CEO of the Walt Disney Company), and singer/songwriter Richard Sherman.

A fun part of the night was when the cast gathered to sing "Let's Go Fly a Kite".
 

 

Before the movie's screening, the cast got back together to say a few words about the film!
 

 

Saving Mr. Banks is in select theatres TODAY and in all theatres December 20th.
