Hey All!
I’m super excited to announce Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment heartwarming drama Saving Mr. Banks is now on Blu-ray + Digital Copy, DVD, Digital HD and On-Demand!
Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson bring to life the untold true story about the origins of one of the most treasured Disney classics of all time. John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) directs this acclaimed film, which reveals the surprising backstory behind the making of Mary Poppins. Determined to fulfill a promise to his daughters, Walt Disney (Hanks) tries for twenty years to obtain the rights to author P.L. Travers’ (Thompson) beloved book. Armed with his iconic creative vision, Walt pulls out all the stops, but the uncompromising Travers won’t budge. Only when he reaches into his own complicated childhood does Walt discover the truth about the ghosts that haunt Travers, and together, the set Mary Poppins free.
It features a stellar supporting cast that includes Colin Farrell (Total Recall), Paul Giamatti (Sideways), Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore), Bradley Whitford (TV’s The West Wing), Annie Rose Buckley (TV’s Home and Away), Ruth Wilson (The Lone Ranger), B.J. Novak (TV’s The Office), Rachel Griffiths (TV’s Brothers & Sisters) and Kathy Baker (Edward Scissorhands). Saving Mr. Banks was directed by John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side, The Rookie), produced by Alison Owen, Ian Collie and Philip Steuer, and written by Kelly Marcel and Sue Smith.

I truly enjoyed this film! I had the amazing opportunity to see it at the Walt Disney Studios in some of the same theaters Walt himself used to screen his films and I also got the chance to interview the cast. It was truly a magical experience to work on this film. It was an honor to walk in Walt’s footsteps and I’m happy to add this film to our Disney Collection.
Tom Hanks truly captures the essence of Walt Disney in this film!
