Sad part is, they weren’t exaggerating about Walt’s childhood. His father was very authoritarian with discipline. I remember reading Walt’s biography and what stuck out to me was that Walt took the punishments until he was 14. Walt made a mistake and his father was going to hit him with the handle of a hammer. When Elias came at Walt with the hammer, Walt grabbed his father’s arms and pulled the hammer out Elias’s reach. Something in Elias broke that day because he started crying and Walt just held him until he stopped crying. After that, Elias never hit Walt again.

It touched my heart a lot when Walt told his own story from his childhood, when he says that despite everything he went through, he loves his life and his dad. Really it is something that I would like to be able to say when, having already lived my life, I can say: I love my life no matter how many bad things I have experienced. Also gets me when he says "rare is the day when I don't think about that 8 year old boy delivering newspapers in the snow and the old Elias Disney with the trap", makes me think that despite the hardness that Walt experienced, he never forgot his past nor tried to avoid it no matter where that success he had in his dream took him, but rather he remained humble, being able to live in peace with it despite everything, and that he actually creates his movies with the goal of not only giving too much joy, but also hope, right?

Tom Hanks was the perfect person to portray Walt Disney in this amazing film. As someone who studied Walt's life, I can honestly say that Tom got all the details of his life down perfectly. Mr Banks in Mary Poppins was inspired by Walt's father, Elias, who even at the end of his life never understood or appreciated his son's passion or accomplishments.

"...and I am just so *tired*." The delivery.

Tom Hanks can really act on a whole different level.

Amazing scene. It really feels like I'm listening to Walt talking about his father.

Walt is in a way an inversion of his father. They were both stern and almost-uncompromising businessmen that ran things based on their #1 priority: money (Elias) and art (Walt).

What is so telling about the scene is that we see two huge difference makers in history whose lives and contributions were forged in terrible childhoods. So many of us have also traveled this road to ultimately find a great life of contribution and dedication to making other peoples lives better.

Walt Disney did not immediately hop on a plane to follow her to England when she left, but the contract was quickly signed. It is doubtful that Walt even knew anything about her father or her issues about him. There is certainly no evidence that the topic ever came up. Travers herself was prone to denial about anything unpleasant. Walt never considered his years delivering newspapers for his father in Kansas City as traumatic, but just considered it hard work. As a skinny 9-year-old boy, he did struggle with snowdrifts higher than he was.

Thankyou Disney for allowing a child to know a different way through love and joy ...not dictated from memory of sadness in the past but a new beginning of hope. This hope encompasses an offered attainable free gift and knowledge to allow a child to be celebrated and experience joy from a child's gifts they bestow everyday ! New possibilities from each moment of an awoken day ! Thankyou Walt and Mr Rogers ! You are both the movements of Hope for a child !

This is my favorite scene in the movie.

Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson did a great job portraying the parts they had to in the Movie saving Mr. Banks.

Mr. Disney and Mrs. Travers having a talk at Mrs. Travers' house in London, England.

Crazy how unique the Disney name is

EMMA THOMPSON TOM HANKS *"SAVING MR. BANKS"*

Ironically Disney showing the more realistic side of their founder is insulting to the real Walt who wished the world was a better happier place.

"Ohhh he wanted the mouse..."

Actually, tom hanks pulled off the “walt disney” persona quite well.

I love this movie

There really is a great big beautiful tomorrow. Thank you Walt.

Thank you, Walt Disney for everything.

this is a conseling scene. i love this scene

“You ever been to Kansas City, miss Trevor’s, you know Missouri at all? It’s mighty cold there in the winters. Bitter cold. And my dad, Elias Disney, he owned a newspaper delivery route there. 1000 papers twice, daily. A morning and an evening edition. And dad was a tough business man. He was a “save a penny anywhere you can” type of fella…so he wouldn’t employe delivery boys, no no no, he’d use me and my big brother Roy. I was 8 back then. Just 8 years old. And like I said, winters were harsh. And old Elias, he didn’t believe in new shoes until the old ones were worn through. Honestly miss travors, sometimes the snow drifts they were up over my head. And we’d push through that snow like it was molasses. Cold and wet, seeping through our clothes and our shoes, skin peeling from our face. Sometimes I’d find myself sunk down in that snow, just waking up. Cause I must’ve past out or something, I don’t know. And then it was time for school. I was too cold and wet to figure out equations and things. And then it was right back out in the snow again to get home just before dark. Then it was time to go back out and do it again for the evening edition. You best be quick there Walt. You better get those newspapers up on that porch and under that storm door or pops is gonna lose his temper again and show you the buckle end of his belt.

In the movie, her behavior is an indication she is still dealing with some sort of trauma dealing with her father.
