New Images & Details From "Christopher Robin"

I'm so excited for August 3rd's Christopher RobinSo obviously, I perked up when Entertainment Weekly put up these exclusive, new photos along with some new details for the upcoming return of Pooh. It's 1949 & Christopher Robin (Ewan McGregor) is an efficiency manager for a luggage company. He's going to miss the vacation he has planned with his family due to providing resources to prevent a bunch of layoffs. Evelyn (Hayley Atwell) & their daughter Madeline (Bronte Carmichael) are headed to the Hundred Acre Wood, while Christopher is stuck working in London. Hence the visit from Pooh. McGregor says, "I think, largely, he’s just lost any of that childish wisdom and he’s a bit stuck. He’s just very work-minded and doesn’t have any time for play. I suppose that’s what the film is about: finding his relationship with his younger self again.” All in all, he's just trying to look out for all the families counting on him. Even if it means putting his own on the sidelines. Both in the war, Atwell added this, "This new man that returns from war represents the loss of the man that she married, but she sees him change when Pooh the bear comes back into his life. But, of course, she thinks he’s gone mad.” For that matter, so does he when Pooh (Jim Cummings), Tigger (Chris O’Dowd), Eeyore (Brad Garrett), Piglet (Nick Mohammed), and the rest of his childhood friends come to visit. Leading me to the best part of the whole thing. These characters aren't invisible, everyone else sees them. They just perceive them as stuffed animals. Making the bottom of the pic below thatuch funnier, Christopher is the only one who sees them "alive". That right there totally did it for me. Well that, & the adorable pic of Pooh & the gang at the beach. I'm all in now for this one. It has potential to be touching & completely hilarious. What do y'all think? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
