Christopher Robin

Wonderful movie with gorgeous cinematography perfect for children and adults alike. Sweet as honey and will tug at your heartstrings in an unexpected way. You may shed a tear or 2

Christopher Robin got next to zero marketing and had little buzz surrounding its release. It's almost as if Disney wanted to put their efforts elsewhere because they weren't sure on who to market the film to. Well, to their credit, that's exactly how the movie felt to me. A mixture of adult themes with characters acting to cater towards children is a difficult line to market to. Especially since it's almost impossible to define who the actual target audience would be, even after I've seen it. Even with that said, I really adored this film. Full of nostalgia from familiar voices to just the satisfying feeling of watching a old fashioned Disney story unfold in live action form. Winnie the Pooh is an all-time great character in the Disney lore and he is beyond perfect in this film, with Jim Cummings returning to do voiceover once again. Does it take a little bit to get going? Sure, but it finishes with dazzle. The magic of Christopher Robin and the Hundred Acre Wood is absolutely back.

7.8/10

I'm a 53 y old married man, and I saw this film on Monday with my wife. I went back to see it AGAIN on Tuesday, I loved it so much. Also, I teared up so badly on the first viewing, I needed a second fix to catch the parts I missed! Beautifully filmed, this is a must see for any adult still in touch with their inner "Christopher Robin". The scenes of Ewan McGregor sitting with Pooh on a log overlooking Ashdown Forest will stay with me forever (and I need a hankie now, just thinking about it!)

10/10 is not enough!

Christopher Robin leaves behind Hundred Acre Wood for boarding school. Life grows tough. As an adult, he (Ewan McGregor) marries Evelyn (Hayley Atwell) and goes off to war. He returns to work in middle management in a luggage company. They have daughter Madeline. One day, Winnie the Pooh can't find his friends and decides to search for Christopher for help.

The best aspect of this is the comedy duo of Ewan McGregor and a teddy bear. Madeline and the gang is just as fun. I find myself loving Pooh more than ever. It is endearing and hilarious. The darker stuff may be too dark by comparison. Quite frankly, the movie should have followed Pooh instead of Christopher. There isn't anything in Christopher's life that is hard to quickly reveal during their reunion on the park benches. There is a similar movie in the Peter Pan franchise called Hook. The difference there is that Peter Pan became angry and bitter. In this movie, Christopher remains Christopher inside. He's still trying to be good although he's sadden by the weight of his life. I would cut out one scene where Christopher gets angry at Pooh. Otherwise, Ewan does a great job. About the ending, there is something unnecessary and too cute about solving his work problem with a wise Pooh saying. Finding Madeline is a good enough climax which could wrap up with a sentimental ending. This is funnier than I expected and would have been more appealing without some of the darker scenes.

My childhood memories were back after watching the epic characters , it's a must watch movie for sure !
