What to Know

Critics Consensus

Christopher Robin may not equal A.A. Milne's stories -- or their animated Disney adaptations -- but it should prove sweet enough for audiences seeking a little childhood magic.

Ben Sachs Chicago Reader In the right hands, this might have been great. Mar 4, 2020 Full Review Michael Sragow Film Comment Magazine Although it lacks the sustained, crazy logic of a first-rate flight of imagination, it's still witty and affecting. Sep 27, 2018 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian A charming imagining of the adult life of the boy from the Hundred Acre Wood. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 21, 2018 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Disney has made another uninspired live-action version of a heartwarming character by relying on derivative ideas, and the result amounts to an unabashed cash-grab dependent on name-brand awareness. Rated: 2/4 Mar 11, 2022 Full Review Cory Woodroof Williamson Home Page You're going to feel like a kid again, and you're going to leave a wiser adult. Feb 11, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Children might not get it, although I'm sure they will enjoy the stuffed characters, but adults will understand the curious tale about the importance of old friends and embracing the inner child.

Ariel G Hits the heart, always remember you childhood Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Alexander S Christopher Robin’s narrative presents a distinctive perspective on the process of growing up, leaving childhood behind, and navigating the transformative changes that accompany adulthood and unexpectedly reconnecting with your past. The story retains its emotional resonance and can serve as a poignant and heartwarming experience for fans of Winnie the Pooh. At the core, I’ll always cherish Winnie the Pooh and his friends, and the profound impact they had on my childhood and will personally, I consider this one of the finest live-action Disney adaptations. Grading: B+ Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Kevin P A cute but formulaic reboot sequel that follows in the footsteps of "Hook", but hits a bit too hard on the "Dad works too hard" cliche. Doesn't help that Christopher Robin actually has a good reason to skip his family vacation, since he's been burdened with keeping his company's staff afloat & deciding who gets to keep their jobs. Yet his family gives him such a hard time and even implies separation even though he's the sole breadwinner and basically has no choice in the matter. At least Robin Williams in "Hook" was genuinely turning into a jerk and could be really cold in his outbursts at home. But Ewan McGregor’s character feels too justified in his ways to get such a harsh familial response. Thankfully, most of the movie is spent with the classic Winnie the Pooh characters bantering with him and his daughter. And on its own, that was very cute and funny. It's nice to hear Jim Cummings again, Brad Garrett is a great choice for Eeyore, and I actually appreciate that most of the new voices for the toys are British. The look of the movie is more grounded with its cloudy and muddy color palette, further cementing the movie into Christopher Robin's duller adulthood perspective in contrast to the typical bright and colorful animated world of his childhood imagination. I appreciate this artistic choice from a narrative perspective, but I wish the movie had a brighter color palette once the imagination of Pooh Bear triumphs over Christopher Robin's sullen cynicism. That being said, I actually found it fun seeing Winnie the Pooh and the other toys interact with regular people and 20th century London. The man passing out at Pooh just innocently starting up a conversation had me in stitches. So overall, the movie has enough charm and plays it different enough to make it a step above most of the other live action Disney reboots. I just wish that it could've reeled back on the cliches and given us a brighter side of the 100-acre wood. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Anita P Extraordinary. I remember seeing Ewan McGregor so excited for this film when doing the promo interviews when it was being released in Theatres. So much Nostalgia Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Cudalbu R We grow and change but we must not forget our childhood. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Audience Member I will never understand how people could hate on this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
