Trailer
Rating: A
Commentary: An inventive, clever design that eschews demanding, chaotic visuals and focuses on a simple idea of Mickey Mouse talking to Mary Poppins. It’s all you really need to know. 		Rating: B-
Commentary: This looks like a standard issue, sermonizing family drama that superficially explores the relationship between Walt Disney and P.L. Travers. There is the potential for deeper meaning, but the trailer tries its best to ignore that aspect of the film, meaning it’s either there and not marketable or not there and they don’t want anyone to suspect.
Preview Link: CLICK HERE for link to the trailer, more posters (if available) and other commentary not featured here.
Oscar Chances: Emma Thompson might be a nominee and I could see some other creative category nominations, but the movie seems a bit too slight in comparison to the year’s other heftier competitors.
