In what has the makings of one of the more charming films to hit the silver screen in December of this year, the trailer for Saving Mr. Banks starring Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson has been released. The movie stars Hanks as legendary cartoonist and producer Walt Disney as he attempts to adapt P.L. Travers’s (played by Thompson) Mary Poppins books.

Aptly produced by Walt Disney Pictures, this delightful dramedy depicts Travers’s trek to Los Angeles to meet Disney, salt-and-pepper mustache in all his glory, to hear a pitch on how to make her book “fly off the pages” to her chagrin. Though to Disney’s surprise Mary Poppins is more than just a magical nanny with a penchant for song and dance, but a sentimental examination on the relationship between Travers and her father–the inspiration for the character of Mr. Banks.

Check out the trailer for Saving Mr. Banks here:

The A-list cast co-stars Jason Schwartzman (pretty much every Wes Anderson film) and B.J. Novak (Inglourious Basterds, The Office) as Academy Award winning songwriters Richard and Robert Sherman (“Chim Chim Cher-ee”) who laughably toss aside the lyrics to “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” when Travers expresses her strong distaste for made up words, as well as Colin Farrell, Paul Giamatti, Bradley Whitford, Annie Rose Buckley, Ruth Wilson, Rachel Griffiths and Kathy Baker.

Though I still feel director John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side, Snow White and the Huntsman) is unproven especially compared to his co-stars, Hanks and Thompson will carry the film on the immense shoulders of their talent. Thompson will play the otherside of a made-up magical nanny (Nanny McPhee) this time and Hanks can play just about anything seeing as how he’s the absolute epitome of awesome.

Saving Mr. Banks is due out on December 13 later this year. Check out the trailer and let us know how you think the movie will fare in the comments section below.
