I will preface this by saying that I have an overwhelming love for Winnie the Pooh. Our oldest daughter’s first nursery (we were in an apartment before moving into our house) was decked-out in “Classic Pooh,” and her all-time favorite and most cherished toy is a plush “Poopsie Bear.” While I loved Pooh as a child, as a parent I will always have fond memories of sharing the Disney Winnie the Pooh tales with our girls, and this summer a new one will hit theaters. Christopher Robin is a live-action film that will open the world of The Hundred Acre Wood as characters from that world enter ours. See the teaser below…
Disney’s “Christopher Robin” is directed by Marc Forster from a screenplay by Alex Ross Perry and Allison Schroeder and a story by Perry based on characters created by A.A. Milne.
