Spurred on by a promise he made to his daughters, Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) embarks on what would become a 20-year quest to obtain the movie rights to “Mary Poppins.” The author, P.L. Travers (Emma Thompson), proves to be uncompromising and has no intention of letting her beloved characters become mangled in the Hollywood machine.  Through a series of flashbacks we meet Travers’s loving father, Robert (Colin Farrell), a creative dreamer who escapes life’s responsibilities through alcohol abuse.
