This movie is not aptly named. It is not so much about Christopher Robin, who has left his childhood well behind, but about the magic of the Hundred Acre Woods. After a brief recap of the most famous moments in Pooh’s history,
the movie settles into the present day. Pooh and his friends
are living their best lives in the Hundred Acre Wood. They have accepted
that Christopher has grown up and moved on to London. We see Pooh dress, and armed with his usual hungry tummy rumble,
Pooh sets off to find honey from his friends, only to find that
everyone has mysteriously disappeared. So he sets off to London to find his friend.
The movie lacks some of the charm of Paddington 2, but eventually the animals that captured Christopher Robin's imagination when he was young come around to seduce his wife and children. In the end, they all move back to the countryside and get in touch with the things that really matter. It is not spectacular, but it has charm.
