Saving Mr. Banks : The Making of a Classic

[@lovejulieandrews]

Tom hanks and Julie Andrews in the same room talking about one of my fave movies. Life cannot get any better!

[@NewYorkS4U]

If you want to thank them, just take Tom's name and remove the "om" and put the "T" in front of "hanks" and what do you get? : )

[@mlchc9004]

NewYorkS4U I love Julie !

[@CatherineZhang-kq2cm]

Couldn't agree more!!!

[@mlchc9004]

Julie Andrews made Mary Poppins a timeless classic, like The Sound of Music & her Broadway shows My Fair Lady, Camelot , Victor Victoria & Boyfriend! My forever inspiration & idol!

[@calarch78]

Jeez - this made me weep for some reason. So grateful for Disney’s persistence with this movie. He had his own childhood family trauma, and saw in her work a story about an unstable family that somehow gets fixed. I think it gives children hope.

[@inberala]

That is really cute when the four of them started to talk to each other excitedly LOL~

[@bboyer88]

June if I was the guy giving the interview I would just sit back and watch what unfolds for a while. Epic stars in one room. Yeah there’s gold there.

[@spnhm34]

PL Travers had a rare access to her inner child. That is what makes Mary Poppins wonderful and what Saving Mr Banks is about. It’s about saving childhood. I can’t think of many films that do it better.

[@johnathanalvarez7907]

“I didn’t give a s*** quite frankly” lol love it

Nobody cares if travers was portrayed positively

[@almageertzrosenstjerne6228]

The two most perfect, and beautiful ladies in the same video!! I love this❤️❤️❤️🥰

[@vanessacarter1981]

I cried a lot when i watch the story of this writer P.J. Travers, I never in my life I could imagine that it was a movie for kids as I went one day i enjoyed and delight until to this day with "Mary Poppins" was based on a real story of the alcoholism's curses,people that not keep their promises (the impossible at her father's time) The death of her father made PJ Travers a people so complicated...sometimes we can't understand people and we always judge people by their appearance, only God really knows and understands people's souls, heart amd minds.

[@mwamwa3488]

+V.Carter 21 I felt so sorry for her throughout the film, like at the premier scene where everyone got recognition for the film and she was walking up the red carpet like a lost soul and that awwww moment when Mickey Mouse offers to lead her into the premier.... I LOVE MICKEY such a good hearted old mouse he is hahaha.

[@mlchc9004]

PL Travers did think Julie was far too pretty to play MP but she had the nose for it! If she were alive today she'd say it wasn't just the nose , Julie was & is the ultimate IT since she's made Mary Poppins the timeless classic it is today!❤️

[@n.t.6609]

Timeless classic is a perfect description to this iconic movie, so dear to so many of us around the world and through different generations!

Julie Andrews doesn't get older does she, she looks the same as she did in Princess Diaries

[@mlchc9004]

Julie is timeless! Her physical beauty emanates from her incredibly beautiful heart soul & spirit!

[@manuelorozco7760]

As a preteen in the 2000’s who was made a fan of Julie because of Mary Poppins I found it hard to believe she was going through a resurgence in a new century. That resurgence led me to The Sound Of Music and Cinderella

[@joalexsg9741]

Thank you so much for granting us with this making-of, which complements the one about the classic Disney movie and fills all of us who loves Travis´s works and both movies a true blessing!!! Have a blessed New Year!

02:28 Interviewer: "Were you worried you were gonna screw it up?" Emma Thompson: "I didn't give a shit quite frankly" LOL!!

[@manuelorozco7760]

I was sent here by the 60th anniversary 20/20 special on Mary Poppins. Saving Mr Banks is beautiful. But doesn’t change my respect for the original Mary Poppins. And I find so hard to believe Julie & Emma were equally respectful British talent yet were practically strangers until they did this interview.

If Walt Disney wanted to turn my stories into movies, I would be so HONORED!!

I would too

[@manuelorozco7760]

Just not the current Disney for me

[@margplsr3120]

the more important than Disney is her driver - I wonder if it is true character- they became close together

[@MyrteKhadr]

Yes indeed!

[@LadyKC67]

I had heard he was a composite of a few people, that Travers didn't have just one driver but a few. They brought in the character to try to give Travers a bit of humanity. Otherwise the audience would've hated her and the story wouldn't have worked as it did. Paul Giamatti gives the best performance as the driver.

[@billlozier5551]

@CatherineZhang-kq2cm I guess u are a fan, so read on....about 1986 I was coming out of a matinee with a buddy of mine. He went to take a leak. Lol, nobody was in the lobby except four people. From the back, I noticed that unmistakable hairdoo. I walked casually to see if my eyes were lying to me. Nope. There she was. JULIE ANDREWS. I got the courage to walk up and say hello. She shook my hand and said hello. I was in heaven. I could have jumped into a chalk picture. 🤣 I watched her leave in a limo. My friend came out of the bathroom and I told him what had happened. To this day he claims to have the worst timing ever! Lol

[@Greendalewitch]

This interview is gettig me a headache. Where is the focus? On the clips, on the actors, on the tape recordings? On the narrator who narrates the interview? On the actors who are either all there or two at once? PICK ONE.

[@jordanmartineau8523]

The movie Saving Mr. Banks helped me realize that the making of Mary Poppins was not as easy as I might've believed it to be.

[@manuelorozco7760]

But it also made me appreciate the original MP even more as an adult then I should have as a kid

[@RayPointerChannel]

Actaually, Walt Disney had been portrayed on film before this. The first time was in Columbia's ONCE UPON A TIME (1944) and in the TV film WINCHELL (1988).

[@nowworld7420]

P-Pam... That ship has sailed.... Walks off LOL

[@marga_mld]

Yes, she was a pain in the ass, but thank god she was here cuz Mary Poppins wouldn't even exist without her

[@GamerBully]

Exactly. And it probably would of been a lot different without her too.

[@nicholaswhitman1757]

I want saving Mr banks

[@davidbrodskybrodsky3106]

RIP Richard m Sherman

[@rmfalco6288]

Only Tom hanks could pull this off as Walt.

[@paradisecityX0]

Even if PL Travers didn't like it overall (her final verdict), the movie still ended up being a success. Without it, Mary Poppins would have faded into obscurity long ago. The whole reason she gave Disney a chance was bc people stopped buying her books.

[@bubhub64]

+paradisecityX0 That's correct. It was a financial decision to sell the rights to Mary Poppins to Disney. She needed the money!

[@paradisecityX0]

bubhub64 I guess it was a pride thing. Come to think of it, JRR Tolkien & CS Lewis didn't like Disney much either for some reason

[@karolinahamanowicz9941]

+paradisecityX0 I don't know if it's true - maybe in USA, but I'm from Poland and most of my friends know the book, no one has ever seen the movie though..

[@paradisecityX0]

Stina Carison Surprising.

[@ildertonmann4086]

At least in the film PL Travers never warms to Walt Disney or the film. The way the Americans like to re-write history I was quite surprised by this, but grateful. Out of adversity comes great art.

[@StevenTorrey]

The movie "Saving Mr. Banks" is based on a book of scholarship exploring the relationship between Disney & Travers. It is not quite made out of whole clothe.

[@omgbygollywow]

Amazing how disrespectful they are of P.L. Travers. I wonder how her family, if she has any, thinks about all this denigration of the woman. Granted, she may have been not the nicest person, but it seems unkind of such "great" actors like Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson to speak ill of people who are no longer around to defend themselves. Seems like P.L. Travers is not the only one with a "cold heart."

[@chrisnorton4382]

omg - I agree. Julie had met P L Travers and although she found her a prickly character Julie had the manners to keep in communication via letter with Travers during filming of Poppins, to keep her in the loop as it were. Emma just acts as a raging snob, as per normal. I have never understood why Americans like her. She is smart but underneath it all there is no real charm.

[@LadyKC67]

Obviously you haven't heard about the real Travers. She was basically a monster. Richard Sherman, in other interviews, describes that time with her almost like a funeral, he still gets a stomach ache when he thinks of it. She was very abusive to all of them. But research her and her adopted child, and what she did to him (and his bother). The woman was an absolutely wretched individuals. Their comments may seem cruel but they're quite tame in comparison to who Travers really was. They actually had to try to make her a little nicer in the movie so audiences wouldn't hate her.

[@chrisnorton4382]

No-one is saying Travers was "nice". Neither is Emma Thompson, who seems to delight in slagging off people who are safely dead - a few years ago she casually dismissed Audrey Hepburn as a lousy actress, "mumsy" and "twee" amongst other epithets. Severely short-changed in the charm department, Emma was obviously ideal for the role of Travers.

[@LadyKC67]

Chris Norton oh, I'm not arguing about Emma Thompson. Truthfully, I have not watched enough interviews with her to see that. You're probably right as most celebrities are narcissists inside. So I don't doubt you on that. I just meant Travers was a real piece of work. I hate when people glorify her and act like "poor thing, we should excuse her abhorrent behavior because she had a rough childhood." Boohoo. So have a lot of people, myself included. No excuse to be a raging bitch on wheels to everyone else. And I didn't direct that at you, just people in general. What she did to her adoptive son is inexcusable. Mary Poppins/Walt Disney feud aside. She was basically an awful person. From what you say, sounds like Emma is too. 😂

[@TitoTimTravels]

If she was a monster... her death would not change that. Should we lie about people just because they die?

[@jazzguitar3441]

This is such a cliché comment, but Emma looks too gorgeous in this, it's irritating, I constantly keep drifting off... those eyes?! O,o

[@MonigMedia]

2:16 oh boy

[@StevenTorrey]

The movie "Saving Mr. Banks" was based on a piece of scholarship about the relationship between Disney & P.L. Travers; it is not created out of whole clothe. This being Hollywood, there are several stretches from reality. Disney was a chain smoker who would die of lung cancer; Hanks did not smoke in the movie, per Disney Co. policy not to depict smoking.

[@TitoTimTravels]

They do have a studio wide ban from depicting smoking i-in any movie- but they did show him stubbing out cigarettes and talking about how he smoked too much. I was surprised they allowed that much.

[@michaelvincent4280]

I had a local bookstore order all the Poppins books for me, because I was tired of hearing from overseas how bad the movie was for them. The gal at the bookstore assumed I bought all of them for my kids, and seemed surprised that they were for just me. I got through the first two and could see better how the film was pieced together with all of the characters. Most boring dry stuff I ever read. Bedtime stories that literally knocked the kids out. Disney saved Mary Poppins.

[@kikolugo]

Disney doing a movie about Disney trying to do a movie.

[@jentleblink9221]

Disney-ception

[@sliat1981]

Not one scene was shot in England. It was 100% in Los Angelos

[@TitoTimTravels]

Poppins was a good film, when I was a kid. Saving Mr Banks is so much better! I love this movie.

[@RayPointerChannel]

It's ironic that as much as Ms Travers objected to having her work "defiled" by Walt Disney, she certainly took the money he offered her. Too bad the woman couldn't just relax and let the people do their jobs since they knew what they were doing. And in the process they made her creation better.

[@joelangley7974]

Have you seen the film? I just think that the story wasn’t just a story to her, it reflected her childhood and that’s why she was so protective over it

[@LR-ee2uu]

Considering one of her stipulations was "no red in the film because she's gone off the colour" she's wearing red lipstick for the whole movie. BLOOPER in plain sight.

[@gabrielabarros3739]

Julie is so charming and beautiful, i mean If i was lesbian i would marry with her

[@GamerBully]

Emma Thompson is such a nasty individual. If it wasn't for Travers there would be no Mary Poppins. Its her prerogative what she wanted and how she thought of the film. And she also seems to forget it was in the 60s.

[@darija9873]

Nope. She's absolutely correct about what she said about Travers. She was a monster in real life, and that is not excused because she created Mary Poppins. Even one of the Sherman brothers confirmed how terrible she was. There are tapes too, and she really was a monster. And it's not just because of the movie being made, she kept the fact her son is adopted from him and when he found out, refused to let him meet his twin brother. She was terrible and should not be excused.

[@sanchayansarkar2953]

The original Mary Poppins movie is shit.
