The Walt Disney Company truly exists now to perpetuate
its own myths. They include, but are not limited to, the idea that Walt Disney
was the greatest human being who ever lived and was devoted exclusively to
making people smile, and that a good wholesome family entertainment can solve
most of life’s problems, often with a saccharine song and dance number. Saving Mr. Banks proposes some mythology
of its own about the origins of P.L. Travers’ series of Mary Poppins books and the way Uncle Walt convinced her to sign
over the rights.
