‘Christopher Robin’

WINNIE the Pooh gets the ‘Hook’ (1991) treatment in Disney’s latest extension of the franchise.

Titled ‘Christopher Robin’ (2018) and focused on the adult titular character who has grown up be to an efficiency expert at a luggage company in the 1940s, the film, which stars Ewan MacGregor, is a moralising yarn about the perils of not taking a family vacation.

Treading the familiar ground of frustrated wives pursing their lips at overworked and mentally absent fathers doted on by their precocious children, ‘Christopher Robin”s retooling of the AA Milne and EH Shepard books is a little less magical than one would hope.

Presenting Christopher Robin’s famous gang of Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Owl, Kanga and Roo as CGI characters in the Hundred Acre wood, the film loses something in the live action despite everything being charming by numbers.

See this for some wholesome albeit slow-boiling family fun.
