Did I tell you yet about the movies I saw the other day? I saw Saving Mr Banks with the Disney Studios people. It’ll be released in January {the 9th from memory} and it’s beautiful. It’s laugh out loud, sob into your tissue good. I’m a Mary Poppins tragic. I only have to hear the opening credits and I tear up. It’s such a beautiful book, beautiful movie and THIS is a beautiful movie. I found the trailer and embedded it below because it’s WONDERFUL.
Tom Hanks paired with Emma Thompson are impressive, to say the least. And that’s before I EVEN start raving about Colin Firth and the young Australian actress that plays the young author or the cast of players that make up the team at Disney. WOW. They were all seriously good and I enjoyed every minute of their performances. A winding tale filled with beautiful images and songs. Be still my beating musical nerd heart.
Anyway. Watch…
Sigh. Perfect. It’s on my list to see again with my Mary Poppins mad family. Do you ever have a memory SO strong that it feels like you are reliving it when you think about it? Mary Poppins is like that for me. I remember the words to the songs and how they made me feel. Mary Poppins is one of those moments in my childhood that I couldn’t forget if I tried.
Do yourself a favour. Put it on your list.

How have I not even heard of this?? Arghhhh. Looks amazing! I will make hubby take me for my birthday!
Coming soon. I noticed the first trailer on tv the other night. I’m sure the roll out will happen soon enough. Enjoy it Sarah, let me know how you go!
Oh gosh! I can’t wait to see this! It looks wonderful! I think this will require a girls date with my mum and my big sis!
I would totally come on that lady date! I’m pretty sure I’m going to be inviting myself on A LOT of people’s lady dates for this one. Haha.
Mary Poppins is the movie that made me fall in love with musicals. I can´t wait to see this!
You’ll love it then! It’s wonderful. Slow and deliberate, then speedy and wonderful. Loved it.
Ohhhh. I love Mary Poppins. My Nanna introduced me years ago, and I still feel close to her when I watch it. Gosh, I’d love to take her to this. Darn flights across Australia being so expensive 🙁
Like I said to Sheri, I’d go! Maybe I could take your Nanna and Facetime you in or something. Haha. Movie watcher for hire. 😉
Whenever I went to my grandmothers house when I was little we watched Pollyanna. I was obsessed!!!
YES! I still have my Pollyanna VCR at home. AND I have a video player at home. Winning. Might have to dig them out this weekend. Pollyanna AND all the Anne of Green Gables movies,
I have just re-read all eight Anne books.
Love them.
Ok… I have tears in my eyes and goosebumps from watching that trailer. It looks amazing!
Well pack your tissues, it’s like THAT, but longer! Colin Firth’s voice over gave me chills.
I can’t wait for this, Mary Poppins is one of my most favourite movies of all time!
It’s up there with mine too. Easily one of my childhood favourites. Enjoy the movie!
