Movie : Christopher Robin

Review:
It's always a sunny day when Christopher Robin comes to play !!
After a long wait, Christopher Robin is on Netflix and it was an ideal springtime watch with the kids. Loosely based on the adult life of Christopher Robin, one of the main characters in the famous " Winnie the Pooh" stories, the plot moves quickly from Christopher joining the army for World War II and later seeking employment in a luggage company, Winslow Luggage.

The story begins with young Christopher Robin and his stuffed toy friends - Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, Owl and Rabbit having a farewell party in the fictional Hundred Acre Wood. Christopher is about to be sent away to the boarding school. His friends are not very happy about it. Christopher promises them that he will never forget them and he will come back to them one day. But after he grows up, he gets so involved with the work that he never bothers to visit the wood himself or show it to his daughter, Madeline.

One fine day, Pooh finds all his friends missing, he decides to go through Christopher Robin's door and finds himself in London. Christopher is shocked to see Pooh and decides to send him back to the Hundred Acre Wood, which is in Sussex. They journey through the train, amidst adventures and Pooh pretending naptime.

Once they enter the wood, Pooh disappears and Christopher has to revert back to his childhood tricks to find all his friends. When he bade them goodbye, what he does not know is that it is his friends and his family who will come to his aid and stand by his side in the most difficult times.

I was waiting to watch this movie for a long long time, and I was not disappointed. Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore are all adorable but it is Pooh who walks away with the cake. The absent-minded, silly old Pooh, a bear with small brains but a bear with big heart steals the show with his innocent remarks. My boys loved the 'Say what you see' game so much that they started playing it whenever they are in the car. What I loved about the movie most is how fragile and vulnerable Pooh and his friends are portrayed to be. In this world full of malice, the innocent friends try to help out their childhood friend in whatever clumsy way they can. It brings back the innocent memories of childhood we all had, and an urge to pick up Winnie the Pooh storybooks from the library to read out loud, once again, in the warm comfort of our beds.

I was so sad when the movie ended. This Pooh quote summarizes the movie for me -
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
