katherinemh replied to your post:Okay, I am super curious about Saving Mr. Banks because I know I've read that PL Travers, like, wasn't even invited to the movie premiere and she wasn't happy with it in the end and when they were adapting it to the stage, she was like "NO NEW SONGS BY THE SHERMAN BROTHERS" and she didn't want anyone who worked on the film working on the stage adaptation, but the trailers for Saving Mr. Banks make it seem like an uplifting story about how Walt Disney won her over with Disney magic???
Thank you! I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to see it myself because I was like, “this is either going to be kind of… Depressing? Or it’s totally not going to be what actually happened.” I was curious about what they were gonna do.
Oh no problem! And just a final thing, the heart of the movie really isn't about the relationship between Disney and Travers, but more so about her relationship with her father (hence the title Saving Mr. Banks) which is probably why the flashbacks were my favorite bits of the movie (even though they were the saddest bits)
