I popped some corn and settled in to watch Disney’s Christopher Robin with my son last night. I had heard some time ago that it was a good movie. I must say, I will have to agree with that.

Christopher Robin is not an animation as with the Winnie the Pooh movies. It has human actors as well as “stuffed” animals playing the parts. Ewan McGregor plays Christopher Robin, Hayley Atwell plays his wife, Evelyn Robin, and Bronte Carmichael plays their daughter, Madeline. It was set in past England in the 100 acre wood and London.

Christopher Robin is all grown up now, having married, gone to war, and come back to the responsibilities of adulthood. However, he seems to be a bit more concerned about his responsibilities at work than to that of his friends and family. Then Pooh drops into his life again seeking his help and his old friend soon gets him to remember what is important in life.

Some movies I watch once and that is enough. Christopher Robin is a movie I would like to see again. It would be worth owning a copy of this movie to watch from time to time. It was entertaining, laugh out loud funny, cute, and touching. I loved it as a ‘period piece’ as well, as it was set in an earlier era. The animals of the hundred acre wood are as adorable as ever. The movie Christopher Robin sends a wonderful message to us all. A reminder to not forget who you are or who is important to you as you make your journey through life and to have fun along the way. Bravo for Christopher Robin!
