Have you visited your childhood lately?
Neither has
Christopher Robin, but in the new Disney movie that shares his name, he’s about
to.
If you enjoyed Winnie the Pooh at any time in your life,
this movie is a must-see. It’s a fun bit of whimsy that will transport you on
an expotition (expedition, for those non-Pooh fans out there) into the sweet
Hundred Acre Wood… and your childhood.
There were mischief and adventure, stubbornness and grace,
family and heroics, danger and encouragement. It was everything that Winnie the
Pooh always stands for… plus lots and lots of honey.
Pardon my gushing (or join me, if you like). Christopher Robin, starring Ewan
McGregor, is one of my top two favorite movies of this year (tied with Tomb Raider, starring Alicia Vikander).
It’s everything I think a movie should be. Sweet, funny, sorrowful, happy,
family-oriented, and full of adventure and hope. Did I mention whimsical? That
isn’t necessary for every movie, but
it never hurts.
