Disney Makes a Movie about Itself?
This might seem a little self-aggrandizing, but Disney is making a movie about a Disney movie. And I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look awesome!
Saving Mr. Banks tells the story of how Marry Poppins started as a promise by Walt Disney to his two daughters to bring their favorite book to life. Little did he know when he made that promise that the author of the book, P.L. Travers (played by Emma Thompson) had no intention of ever letting Disney have his way.
Oh, and Walt Disney is played by none other than Tom Hanks. Who knew that Hollywood has plenty of original stories in how it tries to create original stories!?
This looks like a great movie.
Yeah, even if it does seem factually inaccurate! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._L._Travers#Disney_version
