Christopher Robin

People say that nothing is impossible. But I do nothing every day.

This is a story about growing up while not forgetting those that you’ve left behind. Pooh is quite the anti-philosopher who’s very unwilling to learn or change his ways. But then he does admit that he has a small brain. I know that these characters have stood the test of time but in this film they’re portrayed as vastly decrepit with whiny voices and ragged fur. The film’s realism is lost when the animals come to London and the humans must deal with talking stuffed toys rather than the animals that I always depicted them to be. I would have liked to have seen a bit more of Owl and Rabbit. And it’s a particularly Disney moment when the Robins set out to look for their daughter in the middle of a major city. That said, it’s still a heart-warming story and there’s plenty of antics to keep both children and adults amused.
