Even though Travers is an awful person I really enjoyed and recommend this. Overall, very good and very much worth seeing.

"Winds in the east, mist coming in, like something is brewing about to begin. Can't put me finger on what lies in store but I feel what's to happen all happened before." Walt Disney (Hanks) has a promise to keep to his kids. He promised them he would turn the Mary Poppins books into a movie. He has everything in line except the rights to the movie. After 20 years author P.L. Travers (Thompson) finally decides to come to L.A. and talk to him. That was the easy part. I was looking forward to watching this because I love the Mary Poppins movie. This was a good movie and I really enjoyed it but there is one thing that kept me from loving it. Emma Thompson is a great actress and she did a fantastic job as always but the character is so unlikable it distracts a little from the story. When you watch you will see what I mean. After reading about Travers, to find out that the movie is almost 100% accurate makes her that much more despicable. For a movie that I had high expectations for I really enjoyed this and recommend this. Overall, very good and very much worth seeing even though Travers is an awful person. I give this a high B+.
