The first official image of Tom Hanks as Walt Disney has been released.

Unveiled by Time, the picture shows Hanks alongside Emma Thompson in John Lee Hancock's Saving Mr Banks.

The story centres on Mary Poppins author PL Travers (Thompson) as she moves from London to Hollywood to work with Disney on his adaptation of her book.

Hanks has admitted that he feels intense pressure to portray Disney accurately.

The script is written by Kelly Marcel, who is also penning Focus Features' upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey adaptation.

Colin Farrell, Paul Giamatti, Jason Schwartzman and Ruth Wilson are among the supporting cast.

Saving Mr Banks is due for release in cinemas in the US and UK on December 20, 2013.
