Factual error: When Mrs. Travers arrives at the airport, there's a driver holding a name-card with a Warner Bros. Television logo on it. It's a far more modern version of the logo, however - in fact, the word 'Television' didn't appear in the ribbon across the shield until 1994. (00:10:10)

Saving Mr. Banks is a sometimes funny and sad look at the challenging relationship that forms between Walt Disney and the very serious and cautious author of Mary Poppins when he tried to gain her trust and permission to take the beloved work and make his animated/live-action musical. Both share troubled childhoods and find some commonality, eventually...the film delves into their backstories and why they're so opposite. Emma Thompson's irritable and passionately defensive portrayal of P.L. Travers practically steals the show, leaving Tom Hank's exasperated Walt Disney almost sedate in her wake. While not entirely historically accurate, Saving Mr. Banks is touching and pleasant viewing for those interested in learning more about the many difficulties faced in bringing Mary Poppins to life.

Answer: The dog is either a Skye terrier or a French Briard. Since it is white and has a long tail it is most likely a mixed breed, since the scene is supposed to be in Australia, it may be a mixed terrier and Australian sheep dog mix.
