The Big Picture When it comes to classic family entertainment, no studio, or entity for that matter, has contributed more than the Walt Disney Company.

P. L. Travers Became Infamous Among the ‘Mary Poppins’ Creative Team Close Saving Mr. Banks shows P. L. Travers putting up a good fight to protect her beloved character from too much “Disneyfication,” but ultimately making her peace with much of the film. This wasn’t exactly the case, however. As composer and Disney Legend Richard Sherman put it in an interview with Variety: “Mrs. Travers was very, very difficult.
