When Walt Disney's daughters begged him to make a movie of their favorite book, P.L. Travers' Mary Poppins (1964), he made them a promise - one that he didn't realize would take 20 years to keep. In his quest to obtain the rights, Walt comes up against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention of letting her beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But, as the books stop selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to go to Los Angeles to hear Disney's plans for the adaptation.

Went to see this movie on the night it came out into cinemas (since I am a big Mary poppins fan and have been since I was a child) and it was absolutely amazing! I knew some background to how the film was created but I also found out a lot too about how the film was made and also life lessons. This film means a lot to me too since my dad is an alcoholic except he never cared for me like PL Travers' father. Thankyou so much Disney for making this amazing creation!!!!🌸🌸🌸 - @Friday, October 3, 2014 6:04 PM

Watching this trailer is making me miss Walt Disney. Though I never knew or met him personally, he is what made my childhood so wonderful. He IS my childhood. His movies have taught me so much and I'm grateful to him. I need to watch this movie..NOW. - @Monday, April 7, 2014 2:39 AM

Such a beautiful movie and it was wonderful to see the back round story of the movie. Now when I go to see Mary Poppins, I will actually know the meaning and the heartache behind it. - @Tuesday, April 1, 2014 8:08 AM

If you were a kid in 1964 and saw Mary Poppins, this movie will pull every heartstring and push every button of your childhood, and will restore the meaning of Walt's work. I remember being told that Walt was in the park one day when my family was there during the Tencennial in 1965. Emma and Tom did an excellent job! A Must-See Movie!!! Well done!! - @Sunday, December 22, 2013 5:01 PM

BOYCOTT THIS!!! Disney owns A&E so don't see this movie since they don't support free speech. Besides why would you want to expose your children to their hidden penises in the background. Filthy, filthy company. - @Friday, December 20, 2013 4:27 PM
