Well, I finally got around to screening Saving Mr. Banks. On the home big-O-vision, which is less than optimal than the big screen.
I was a little bothered by some of the glitchy modern things, like the security door lock in the hotel room for P.L. Travers. Back in the day it would have been a chain people, nto the sliding hinge! Also, I realize they could not CGI the Carousel in Fantasyland to the original location, still bugged me. That's all minor crapola caveats.
I loved Thompson (as always) and thought Hanks was good but he just did not really try to sound like Walt at all. Or is that just me and a faulty aural memory? Just sounded like Tom Hanks.
Other than that, I adored the movie. Wept like an 8 year old.
