Christopher Robin is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Christopher Robin does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. 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. Ewan McGregor and Hayley Atwell lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It was released in 2018. What keeps Christopher Robin from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Christopher Robin respects your intelligence. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Ewan McGregor anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
