I just finished watching Disney’s Christopher Robin for the fifth time and I was as moved and touched as the first time. I feel so blessed that I was able to attend the Christopher Robin Premiere in Hollywood and I am amazed at how fast time flies!
This sweet movie got me and my daughters through some tough times and when you read my no-spoiler review, you will see why.
In Disney’s Christopher Robin, we have the opportunity to embark on a spirited adventure with grown-up Christopher Robin, Winnie the Pooh, and friends.Winnie the Pooh and friends venture into mid-century London to help grown-up Christopher Robin (Ewan McGregor). Read my interview with Ewan McGregor here.
And I’m so excited to announce that this heartwarming and wondrous live-action adventure for the whole family will be available arrives instantly on Digital and Movies Anywhere and on Blu-ray™ and DVD on November 6 with captivating, behind-the-scenes extras.
The fun-filled tale features A.A. Milne’s timeless characters from the Hundred Acre Wood — Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, Rabbit and Owl — making their first appearance as three-dimensional characters who remind Christopher Robin, and viewers of all ages, to appreciate the simple pleasures in life.
This entirely new take on the Winnie the Pooh stories will transport parents back to the imaginative, carefree days of childhood and allow them to share their love of Pooh and friends with their own children. Read my interview with Hayley Atwell (“Evelyn Robin”) for some positive mom wisdom.
The bonus features provide a heartfelt look at the making of “Christopher Robin,” showcasing the magical artistry that brings the Disney’s beloved classic characters to life, the human actors’ techniques for interacting with stuffed animals, and the filmmakers’ passion for their project.
I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Bronte Carmichael, who plays Christopher Robin’s daughter Madeline, and in the bonus material, she takes viewers on an exciting journey from the drawing board to film locations throughout the United Kingdom.
One of my favorite features is the flashback that highlights Walt Disney’s fondness for Winnie the Pooh and recalls the voice actors who lovingly portrayed the unforgettable voice of the iconic character.
An exclusive digital bonus feature explores the actual teddy bear, given to Christopher Robin Milne 98 years ago, which inspired the original Pooh stories that have been shared and adored by families around the globe, including my own.
“When you are able to make people laugh and cry in the same movie and you are able to tell the story with integrity and ground it in reality and have the magic realism on top of it, it lifts your spirits and connects you with the people you love,” says director Marc Forster.
“We could all use a little bit of Pooh’s heart and wisdom right now.” Make sure to read my interview with Christopher Robin director here.
Disney’s “Christopher Robin” is a movie you must watch, and it’s awesome that it’s being packaged and released in several different formats, giving your family the flexibility to watch the film on a variety of different devices. Christopher Robin will always be a meaningful film for me and I really think every parent needs to watch it at least once.
