Disney Twenty-Three Magazine Celebrates Saving Mr. Banks

To celebrate the release of Saving Mr. Banks and the upcoming 50th anniversary of Mary Poppins, D23, has dedicated the entire winter issue of its flagship magazine, Disney twenty-three, to the beloved nanny.

The publication is available exclusively to Gold Members of D23, includes exclusive interviews with Saving Mr. Banks stars Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson, and Bradley Whitford, as well as director John Lee Hancock. It takes readers behind the scenes of the making of this spectacular new film, which opens this Christmas and looks at the creation of Disney’s Mary Poppins and the sometimes combative but respectful relationship between the character’s creator, P.L. Travers (Thompson), and Walt Disney (Hanks).

Disney twenty-three’s Winter issue also offers a look inside the fascinating life of P.L. Travers, with a personal reminiscence by her friend, author Brian Sibley, whom she once told, “I don’t feel for a moment that I invented her. I feel visited by her.” And original film composer Richard M. Sherman, visual consultant Tony Walton, and choreographers Marc Beaux and Dee Dee Wood offer exclusive insight into the creation of the 1964 Disney classic, which will officially celebrate its 50th anniversary next August.

Also included in the Winter issue of Disney twenty-three:

• A first-person account of the creation of the stage musical Mary Poppins from Disney Theatrical Productions president Thomas Schumacher

• “Elements of Fun,” looking at 50 years of unique “Mary merchandise”

• An in-depth look at the film’s groundbreaking special effects

• A walk down the red carpet for the Mary Poppins premiere at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre

All D23 Members are invited to visit www.D23.com, where the fan club is kicking off its year-long celebration of Mary Poppins’ 50th anniversary with a unique video reconstruction of the Mary Poppins world premiere, containing five minutes of never-before-released material.
