Bank on it

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2013)

Emma Thompson gives an award worthy performance. Tom Hanks squints a lot as Walt Disney. Outstanding cinematography, costumes, and an original score are noteworthy. The movie cuts back and fourth effectively between the heart tugging back story and the Disney story. Young Annie Rose Buckley as Ginty lights up the screen.
There is considerable more then one spoonful of sugar poured into this one and it may be a bit too sweet for some tastes. Unlike "Mary Poppins" the movie may not be suitable for younger children. It moves at a leisurely pace and Colin Ferrell goes the way of "Old Yeller".
It's an interesting story. It is very well made. It is a good time at the movies. See it.
