\"Saving<\/a><\/p>\n

This past weekend we took our family to see Disney’s Saving Mr. Banks<\/a>. Yep, the whole family, from my seven year-old daughter on up. We needed a break, a “get away and leave all your troubles behind and go take in a feel good movie” moment.<\/p>\n

Saving Mr. Banks was not that experience.
\n<\/p>\n

It was a good movie with entertaining moments, but this was a much deeper movie than we anticipated. There are some heavy themes and scenes that I was not expecting from the Saving Mr. Banks movie trailer. There was just a spoonful of sugar in this movie, but that was all– it had much more seriousness in it.<\/p>\n

I am in no way suggesting the movie was bad– it was deep, meaningful and made me think. It definitely showed me a new perspective I had not thought about, both in moviemaking, storytelling and in life. \u00a0(And it still makes me love Disney<\/a>.) I just wish I had experienced it without my children there. Especially as we have had a pretty emotionally exhausting few months on our own.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to give too much away and give examples of what I am talking about, as I think so often the less you know about a movie before you go, the better it can be. So, please, just take my word that this isn’t a sweet movie for the family. It is a good movie, but one that will make you think and probably be a little sad. It’ll also show you a wonderful side of Walt Disney’s determination. But it approaches a few things you may not want your children to experience on the silver screen… at least not yet.<\/p>\n

If you have seen Saving Mr. Banks, I welcome your thoughts on this here in the comments, provided you do not give away any of the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
