WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Christopher Robin (McGregor), the young boy who used to play in the Hundred Acre Woods with his plush friends Winnie the Pooh (Cummings), Piglet (Mohammed), Tigger (Cummings), Eeyore (Garrett), Owl (Jones), Rabbit (Capaldi), Kanga (Okonedo) and Roo (Hall), is now an adult and working a menial job to support his wife Evelyn (Atwell) and daughter Madeline (Carmichael), but has also lost all sense of imagination. However, he receives a wake-up call when Pooh and his friends suddenly re-enter Christopher’s life…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The beloved stories of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin explore a whole new chapter, one where reality has kicked in and imagination thoroughly needs to be reintroduced, all of which is made possible in this enchanting and sweet live-action/CGI hybrid.
