Check Out Disney’s SAVING MR. BANKS Trailer starring Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson

Normally, we wait until Trailer Tuesdays to showcase all the latest trailers, but sometimes we make an exception and turn our spotlight on one we think you’ll all enjoy. Check out the new trailer for Saving Mr. Banks, the true story of Walt Disney’s 19 year journey to obtain the rights to Mary Poppins from it’s author; P.L. Travers. We all know of the classic 1964 film starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, but few know about the challenges that the studio and Walt himself faced for nearly two decades to bring that film to life. From the evolution of the characters, to the creation of the songs we’ve sung for almost 50 years, Saving Mr. Banks takes you back in time on an entertaining journey behind the scenes of how the movie was made.

From the trailer it seems that Tom Hanks really has embodied the character traits of the legendary Walt Disney and Emma Thompson seems to really be embracing the stern and proper P.L.Travers, whose frustration with the studio seems all to evident. Though the trailer gives us a light and fun vibe, there certainly seems to be a dramatic undertone being hinted at, that perhaps there is a deeper, more personal connection to the famous fictional British Nanny that we could have ever imagined. Can’t wait to see this in the theaters on December 20th … we think this one has an Academy Award possibility for sure! Let us know what you think about the trailer in the comments below…
