Hollywood always likes to celebrate itself especially when it's portrayed positively and with such affection. <br /><br />I loved the line about how story tellers can give hope to the world. <br /><br />The film sensitively portrays Mrs Travers and the inspiration behind her stories. But of course it's never enough and so it's terrific to also read of your own interactions with the lady now firmly established as a Hollywood legend.<br /><br />I hope Mary Poppins 2 will one day do the same for you!<br />John Forresthttp://www.johnforrest.tvnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-62343314459918072422013-10-20T17:55:43.746+01:002013-10-20T17:55:43.746+01:00Great article and wonderful post, I had no idea a ...Great article and wonderful post, I had no idea a second film had been in development, let alone that you were involved.

Your recollections of PL Travers me very happy! <br /><br />I actually just read MARY POPPINS (for the first time!), because I wanted to know Travers' original work before going to see "Saving Mr. Banks". <br /><br />I've always loved the Disney Mary Poppins, but the book/short stories are genius! My favorite chapters were the ones that weren't in the film! <br /><br />Did you see "Saving Mr. B" at the film festival? I was a bit surprised that Tom Hanks was cast as Walt Disney. Emma Thompson (in the preview I saw) seems to make a rather foreboding PL Travers!
