You need a spoonful of sugar to really enjoy this

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2013)

Acting is superb by both leading parts as well as supporting roles. Its the story that I take issue with from the point of view that it dragged, didn't spell out the dysfunction and or took too long to get to it and that more of Mr. Disney would have made this picture a must see. Tom Hanks has you seeing and hearing Walt no problem. There is also some great scenes with the song writers suffering through their work but not because it was hard but being interfered with. One thing puzzles me however. Trying to get Disneyland to support any movie is already a challenge and this one had carte balance to go into Disneyland and just showcase the place and make it part of the healing process for the people involved. I got excited just seeing a glimpse of the happiest place on earth or the Magic Kingdom as it is called. Let me add I used to work there too and they let a good opportunity go unclaimed. It would have made this movie a must watch just to visit with Disneyland let alone the subject matter of Mary Poppins etc. Yes to seeing this movie and it is worth a ticket. Watch out for the hype of many reviewers over praising this for fear of offending the Disney power machine. It is not Oscar material. Definitely recommend a snack, tasty drink and sorry to say your cell phone for the slow parts. Catch the end credits for pictures of the real players at the premiere BTW
