My mother did not like Walt Disney (We were not allowed to use the word "hate".) because he confiscated, publicized and produced fairy tales as his own inventions. Personally I like what he did because I like the music. Those stories had been around for ages and as a child I did not care until.....he produced Mary Poppins. Again I liked the music but was thoroughly appalled at what the movie did to the character of M. Poppins. So much sugar was appalling to me after reading all of the books. It defeated the entire concept of her character. I have Saving Mr Banks up and ready to go on NetFlix but wanted to check here first before I wasted my time. I will comment later after I watch. (I am sure thousands are waiting with baited breathe. BTW what even is baited breathe?) Thanks for recommending because it sure saves me time when I need something to watch.
