The Story Behind Mary Poppins

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2015)

Although the film is not entirely based on fact, every film takes some artistic license, even biographies. It was a great story to watch about the making of one of the most beloved Disney films of all time, Mary Poppins, and the trouble they had doing so.
Tom Hanks probably was not the best choice for Walt Disney, as he made no effort to use Walt's mannerisms or vocal pattern at all. I would give his acting a mere 6/10 for effort. Emma Thompson as P.L. Travers was extraordinary, as she was very much indeed closer to the real Travers' voice.
I especially liked the role that Bradley Whitford played as the timid writer of the screenplay, Don DaGradi, who must deal with Travers' many tantrums as she had creative control over the screenplay. It was a very well made film, from start to finish.
However, I am unclear as to why it received a PG-13 rating by the MPAA. But it was great, which is why I gave it 9/10.
