"Saving Mr. Banks" [Dec 2013]
Announced 2/2012: Disney is 'close to buying' a script from the 2011 Black List by rising British writer Kelly Marcel, which tells the true story of how Walt Disney persuaded Australian author P.L. Travers to give him the rights to her most famous creation, magical nanny “Mary Poppins”. Travers had been reluctant to sell the film rights, but Disney eventually won her over. However, she hated the film, and in particular the animated sequences, and their relationship became estranged. Rumor has it that the intention is to cast Tom Hanks as Walt Disney, and Meryl Streep as P.L. Travers; Added 4/2012: Streep is out, 'in talks' with Emma Thompson •

"Newsies" was among the lowest-grossing films in Disney Studios history. The film gained fans from the 1997 video release and showings on the Disney Channel; pressure from fans got the film released on DVD in 2002, and it has since recouped its production costs. The 'fan base' became large enough that a stage musical was created, with some old songs and some new songs; it premiered in New Jersey in late 2011, and opened on Broadway in March 2012.

[Touchstone Jan 1998]
 | Barrio con-man Gomez convinces four strangers to pool $20 each to buy a luminescent vanilla ice-cream-colored suit; he intends to split for El Paso, well-dressed. The first night, each gets the suit for an hour, and each is transformed: Dominguez with his guitar & voice charms women who dance in a parade through the plaza; Martinez's turn gets his lovely neighbor's attention; street poet Villanazul captures a crowd with his political and economic vision. The suit makes Gomez a better man, so he may not bolt; but then, what do they do with the last partner, the filthy ¡Vamanos!, whose juicy-taco-eating, wine-drinking habits could ruin the suit?
Directed by Stuart Gordon; script by Ray Bradbury, based on his story & stageplay; starring Edward James Olmos, Joe Mantegna, Esai Morales, Clifton Collins Jr. & Gregory Sierra
