I didn’t really grow up having read nor seen Winnie the Pooh. I’ve rarely seen any material relating to the character of Winnie the Pooh. But whenever I do get the chance to see something relating to him, I’m always impressed by the level of charm and heart present within it. So going into the new live-action “Christopher Robin,” I was mostly blind with the exception of having obvious familiarity with most of the characters, i.e. Eeyore, Piglet, Pooh, Tigger, etc. But even with little prior knowledge of the source material, I was still filled with warmth and delight and felt like I knew the character of Winnie the Pooh. Director Marc Forster doesn’t break new ground nor take any risks or chances, but he keeps it simple, and that’s where the fun is.
