Saving Mr. Banks (2013)
Nel 1961 la scrittrice P.L. Travers viaggia da Londra ad Hollywood per incontrare Walt Disney e discutere del di lui desiderio di realizzare una trasposizione cinematografica di Mary Poppins, best seller mondiale pubblicato dalla Travers nel 1934. Contrariamente ad ogni aspettativa, Disney si ritrova di fronte ad una sessantenne che, con le idee ben chiare sugli intenti commerciali del progetto, non è disposta ad accettare alcun tipo di compromesso. Con molti conti in sospeso con il proprio passato, durante il suo soggiorno in California la Travers comincia a riflettere sull'infanzia vissuta in Australia a inizio secolo quando le difficoltà vissute dalla sua famiglia, l'affetto del padre Goff e la solarità della zia Ellie hanno posto le basi per l'ispirazione dei personaggi di mister Banks e Mary Poppins, i due protagonisti del romanzo. Pur riluttante a concedere i diritti a Disney, P.J. realizza presto che il produttore ha i suoi buoni motivi personali per voler realizzare il film.
