It was a wonderful film.

As a child, Mary Poppins was the first film that I wanted to see. I was excited about the story of its making.

The movie was more about P.L. Travers than about Walt Disney. Travers had a painful childhood and had lost her father at a young age. Her books where an attempt to make peace with her past

As a writer I'm fascinated by movies about writing and the act of creating an alternate world. Atonement, and Stranger than Fiction are two examples of changing reality to fit the writer's desired outcome. Saving Mr Banks now joins the list.

Amen.

I think the film succeeds.

Grew up in the 50's and 60's.

Our family had 7 children, and lower middle class economically.

I still remember dad taking us all to see The Sound of Music, Music Man, and Mary Poppins.

The cost for seeing those movies must have set mom and dad back bigtime.
