Do you love Disney's Mary Poppins, did you ever hear the back story on this great movie? Well you are going to love Saving Mr Banks!
When
Walt Disney’s daughters begged him to make a movie of their favorite
book, P.L. Travers’ “Mary Poppins,” he made them a promise—one that he
didn’t realize would take 20 years to keep. In his quest to obtain the
rights, Walt comes up against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who
has absolutely no intention of letting her beloved magical nanny get
mauled by the Hollywood machine. But, as the books stop selling and
money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to go to Los Angeles to
hear Disney’s plans for the adaptation.
For
those two short weeks in 1961, Walt Disney pulls out all the stops.
Armed with imaginative storyboards and chirpy songs from the talented
Sherman brothers, Walt launches an all-out onslaught on P.L. Travers,
but the prickly author doesn’t budge. He soon begins to watch helplessly
as Travers becomes increasingly immovable and the rights begin to move
further away from his grasp.
