Wonderful and heart touching warm film of how a movie came to life!

Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2013)

"Saving Mr. Banks" a film that's touching and a heart warming true tale of how the classic "Mary Poppins" novel was brought to the screen and made into a film by Walt Disney is one film any film buff should see. The wonderful Emma Thompson is international author P.L. Travers she had a bad childhood and her one way to escape was writing child novels and the classic "Mary Poppins" would become the most loved and memorable. In 1961 she's cooked and lead to travel to Los Angeles to work out the rights for a big screen movie with legendary Walt Disney(the super Tom Hanks)and Roy Disney tries his cunning best to land the novel to Disney pictures by placing a stuffed Mickey Mouse in P.L.'s hotel room! Thru it all it's communication and phone tag struggle and lady Travers has flashbacks to her tragic and poor childhood which motivates her even more to get the film made with the Walt Disney company as she will feel like a kid again. Overall nice little feel good warm heart touching film proving memories come true and one can feel like a kid again.
