Christopher Robin
Christopher Robin, the boy who had countless adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood, has grown up and lost his way. Now it’s up to his spirited and loveable stuffed animals, Winnie The Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and the rest of the gang, to rekindle their friendship and remind him of endless days of childlike wonder and make-believe, when doing nothing was the very best something.

The Worst Film Ever
Good movie but grossly overrated
Fresh and Exciting
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
If you are looking for more Winnie the Pooh than we ever knew about from AA Milne. Well, sorry. He didn't write any more, and this film doesn't add anything to the canon. Christopher Robin does not grow up, not ever. He may be on the verge of doing so, we may even gets hints of it. But it never happens. AA Milne controlled that, and he never gave it to us. So if you are a Winnie the Pooh purist - and many are - this film is not for you. Christopher Robin (Ewan McGregor - inspired casting) comes off as a rather cute jerk, who is saved by bumping into Pooh transported into a London park. Pooh is NOT Paddington so don't expect that to come off as anything other than well-produced silliness. Christopher Robin is caught up in the endeavor of being a responsible adult, whose time for his family is limited. Family doesn't like that. (Surprise, surprise.) Family goes off to sulk at their country property where Christopher Robin used to frolic with Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. Ancient history, of course, so mother and daughter know nothing of this. Christopher Robin must see to it that Pooh is returned home. Misadventures ensue. This is decidedly not Winnie the Pooh, although some the characters are quite familiar. If purity is what you want - even given the liberties with the Pooh stories that Disney has already taken - this goes too far afield.However, if you are expecting a delightful tale, suggested by the characters created in AA Milne's Winnie the Pooh adventures, then this film cannot help but entertain you. The plot is rather improbable and Disney-silly, but that won't matter. You'll feel very well satisfied. With that expectation, it is very charming and heart-warming.So, take your choice.
I have always been a fan of Ewan MacGregor. I was never a Winnie the Pooh fan until I had my daughter 21 years ago. As a toddler, she chose Pooh as her favorite over everything, and that's when I fell in love with the stories of Winnie the Pooh. This movie has brought back such wonderful memories for me, it did not disappoint. So enchanting.
As a nearing 40 dad, who works endless hours to make ends meet and make sure my family has the best of everythijg I can give them, taking my daughter met to watch this movie, not only had me in tears by the end, it made me think hard about what / where I'm heading in life, and what I'm missing out on in family timeThis movie was amazing! Fantastic CGI and a story line that not only tugs on the heart strings , it kicks you so hard in the feelings , that you actually wake up and think about what happened to you
What a lovely film this is. Heartwarming and great for all ages. Disney went back to the original look characters from the books and it really worked. You could relate to them exactly as you have read and seen them before but as convincing lifelike toys rather than cartoons. The theme throughout the film although predictable and nothing out of the ordinary, you find yourself wanting this and it follows the simple plots you want from it. Funny in some places, emotional in others, it was beautifully written and acted out. Tigger was hilarious and eeyore as depressed as ever but the whole mix of the characters made it a great experience. I could have easily sat and watched it again as could my 10yr old son. Definitely an absolute classic and will be in my dvd collection when it comes out.
