The public is invited to a screening of “Saving Mr. Banks” on Sunday, January 18 at Mission Viejo City Hall.
The film, which airs at 2 p.m., is sponsored by the City’s Community of Character Committee and coincides with January’s character trait of “perseverance.”
Based on the true story of Walt Disney’s 20-year effort to secure the film rights to the “Mary Poppins” book series, the film perfectly illustrates the power of perseverance. Emma Thompson received a Golden Globe Best Actress nomination for her role as the books’ author, P. L. Travers, while Tom Hanks co-stars in the role of Walt Disney.
The film will be shown on a theater-size screen with theater-style seating and surround-sound at 200, Civic Center, just across from the Mission Viejo Library.
For more information about this free event, call 949-470-3062.
