~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

If you love Mary Poppins then you must make time to see Disney\u2019s Saving Mr. Banks this holiday season.<\/p>\n

Set in the 60’s, the film tells the story of how Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) spent 20 years trying to convince children’s author P.L. Travers (Emma Thompson) to allow him to make a film version of her much beloved book, Mary Poppins.\u00a0 When book sales dwindle and money becomes tight she finally concedes to an exploratory meeting.<\/p>\n

Set in her ways and staunch in her desire to keep true to the book, Travers has many stipulations; the first of which is that Mary Poppins cannot be a musical, another, that it cannot be animated.\u00a0 As we now know, Walt Disney was just as staunch in his vision and the result was Disney magic that is just as powerful 50 years later.\"gallery_02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Both Hanks and Thompson are strong in their roles offering both serious moments and comedic breaks.\u00a0 Collin Farrell is brilliant as Travers Goff, P.L. Travers\u2019 father in flashback scenes.\u00a0 He captures your heart and you root for him – flaws and all.\u00a0 Newcomer Annie Rose Buckley plays the young P.L. Travers and pairs beautifully with Farrell.
\nThe biggest surprise for me came from Jason Schwartzman. Cast as composer Richard A. Sherman, one half of the musical duo the Sherman Brothers, his performance blew me away. His voice was beautiful, his piano playing magical and his understated performance brought so much light and depth to the film. It is the music that emotionally ties a Mary Poppins fan to this movie and Schwartzman did it justice.\"gallery_08\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you watch the movie you can\u2019t help but sing along with the familiar tunes.\u00a0 The audience laughed out loud at the right times and I even saw a few tears being wiped away.\u00a0Saving Mr. Banks is a beautiful movie that is destined to be a favourite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
