Saving Mr. Banks

One upcoming movie that I am beyond excited for is the Walt Disney production Saving Mr. Banks. It will be monumental, and likely controversial, in that will mark the very first time Walt Disney himself has ever been portrayed in a theatrical film. Up to this point that idea has been carefully avoided, as there is great discrepancy in remembering who he really was as a person. Die hard Disney fans are extremely curious to see how award-winning actor Tom Hanks pulls off playing the man who brought such immeasurable magic to our modern world.

The movie itself is based on the true story of Walt's process in adapting and producing the well-known feature Mary Poppins. Based on the trailer that was recently released, it is looking to be a quality film. Saving Mr. Banks will premiere December 20th, 2013.
