proudly announces the home entertainment release of the heartwarming drama Saving Mr. Banks, arriving on Blu-ray +
Digital Copy, DVD, Digital HD and On-Demand on March 18, 2014.
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.

Home and Away), Ruth Wilson (The Lone Ranger), B.J. Novak (TV’s The Office), Rachel Griffiths (TV’s Brothers & Sisters) and Kathy Baker
