Anyone else see the news about the new movie that will be about the making of Mary Poppins? Looks like it might be interesting! Here's a link...

Yes, I saw this yesterday, and was laughing at the comments from the people saying "shouldn't Emma Thompson be playing Julie Andrews instead?" Hello folks, the story is about Walt Disney and P.L. Travers...
I think it would be interesting to hear the whole story. I've heard about the difficulties Mr. Disney had with negotiations with Ms. Travers.
...I'm still trying to wrap my head around the choice of actor though...in my mind, I think it's going to take a whole lotta make-up to make him convincing. But we shall see.

Agreed on the actor selection. I really like Tom Hanks though so I think he'll do a good job

Was there really a romantic relationship between Disney and Ms. Travers? If there was...I never knew about it.

Me neither.
I know Mr. Disney wasn't perfect, but I've never heard anything that would lead me to believe that he was in any other relationship while married to Lillian. (except maybe he was married to his work...)
