Saving Mr. Banks tells the true story of what Walt Disney had to go through in order to get Mary Poppins made into a film. It needs the approval of P.L. Travers who doesn’t believe it should be made into a film. Obviously we all know how this turned out, so we will see how he convinced her otherwise.
It sports Tom Hanks as Walt Disney (of course) and Emma Thompson as P.L. Travers. It also features Paul Giamatti, Jason Schwartzman, B.J. Novak, Colin Farrell, Ruth Wilson, Rachel Griffiths, and Bradley Whitford.
It seems like a safe crowd pleaser, but anything with Tom Hanks is usally a safe bet to be enjoyable. It looks like a pretty fun film. It comes out December 13. Watch the trailer below.
