Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts Tres

New still for Saving Mr. Banks. You can now start ranting about all the Disneyland anarchisms involving tree sizes, building colours and so on.

And for those who want a direct comparison:

IMO Tom Hanks is perfect for the role. I was concerned about this film until I heard who was playing Walt. He's a great actor, a gentleman, and I trust him to do an accurate portrayal

But...why is Lillian scowling??

 

[Cosmic Commando]

I don't think anyone's actually doing that, it's more of a joke by me (hence the smiley).

However, I could totally see that happening.

I didn't think that you were doing it, but had maybe read it someplace else *cough*MiceChat*cough*.

Just give it time. Someone will complain. It's like the Rule 34 of the Disney every fan community.

Based on the subject of the movie and the scowl on her face, I assumed that was P.L. Travers.

Edit: after some googling, it does look more like Lillian, but I just don't think they cared about matching Travers' appearance.

Oh, okay, that makes sense. But I don't remember anything about her being in the parks when I did a 30 page report on Walt a few years back. But it's entirely possible.

Hollywood magic?

 

[truecoat]

Emma Thompson does play PL Travers.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Hollywood magic?

Exactly. But I do hope they don't dramatize it too much. Keep to the facts

Ah, okay, got ya. I didn't realize that was her (sorry. Just...very very tired.)

 

[englanddg]

What about guest attire?

You best not be disrespectin' our darlin' honey boo boo child! She's a beaoooty quean. You'd better Red-neckognize!

(also, as an aside...I wonder if she did BBB...)

 

[bubbles1812]

That was awesome. The ending was so unexpected, and quite a nice nod to a great man who had a barn and a tiny railroad.

<sniffle>

That was quite sweet, and agreed on the ending. It is nice to Mickey a little less white-washed though I'm still not totally sold on the animation style.

I honestly think Walt would be proud of that.

Pretty sure he wouldn't be so proud of that.

Even wearin' the Smoke Tree Ranch tie tack. Very nice.

 

[jensenrick]

Personally, I think The Heat is currently the most entertaining film in current release.

It's definitely funniest! Now there is a movie that the whole (packed!) theater was excited about.

 

[culturenthrills]

So Spirit anything new on the Busch parks sale?
I have heard Merlin and the crazy one I have heard is Mack.

Tom takes his role seriously. He went to Walt's family museum, spending days studying and meeting Diane Disney Miller.

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

Saving Mr. Banks, American Hustle, and The Wolf on Wall Street are definitely my most anticipated movies this year. The new Hobbit looks promising as well

Agreed, and I'll add August Osage County and Anchorman 2 to the list.

Walt and Casey at the end!

That was great, I loved it.

I liked it,though I wish it wasn't just a short.

Mack Rides would be a dream come true. Europa Park is the absolute best run park I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Even cleaner and better maintained than Tokyo Disney.
