Why is the film called "Saving Mr. Banks"? - Career Lettering Text on Black Background

I saw the movie, Mr. Banks is a character in the "Mary Poppins" story.

But the whole plot does not match the title, Helen Goff was heavily influenced by her father "Travers Robert Goff". She wants Mary Poppins to be a non-animated film.

Then why is the title "Saving Mr. Banks"?



Best Answer

The movie wants us to believe that the deal between Disney and Travers came to be because, despite their cultural differences, both recognized one another as having daddy issues too.

In that vein, Mary Poppins is there to save the father more than the children, thus leading to her saving Mr. Banks – and possibly the memory that the two protagonists have of their fathers' lives as well.
