A Disney film like no other.

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2013)

It takes place in 1961, P.L. Travers(Emma Thompson) travels to California, in hopes to talk to Walt Disney(Tom Hanks) at Disney studios, to convince him not to bring her book Mary Poppins to the big screen, cause of her disliking for Hollywood adaptations, but Walt convinces her that she will have say so in all the productions. But also during this time, we go in flashbacks to Travers childhood on what inspired Mary Poppins.
A very well made film, as we get in the heads of Travers and Disney, and trying to understand both there points of view. Hanks and Thompson both give terrific performances, really bringing these true to life people to life. The other supporting players don't disappoint either. The sixties setting was well done, and not to mention the flashbacks scenes also. Not to mention an Oscar worthy performance by Colin Farrell as Travers father.
