Saving Mr Banks tells the story of Walt Disney's battle to get the rights to make Mary Poppins into a movie. I wasn't expecting to like this but was completely blown away.
It is beautifully put together, is hilarious in parts and very touching and emotional at other stages, but is not overly sappy or cheesy.
There are some outstanding performances here. Emma Thompson plays Mrs Travers beautifully and Tom Hanks does a good job of playing Walt Disney.
However the stand-out performance is, surprisingly, delivered by Colin Farrell as Mrs Travers' father.
