My Thoughts on the Christopher Robin Movie + Free Printable Activity Sheets!

If you’re anything like me, you grew up with Winnie the Pooh. From the books to the cartoons to the movies, Pooh was just a constant in my life. In fact, I honestly don’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t know and enjoy Pooh and his stories. How could you not love that sweet bear and his friends? (The answer is: it’s impossible).

When I first heard about the Christopher Robin movie, I was incredibly excited for three reasons: one, it’s a new Pooh movie, two, it just looked well done, and three, it starred Ewan McGregor. I digress. But friends, I was not disappointed. This movie is sweet and sentimental, and it really brings the characters to life in a new way while still honoring their legacy and the personalities they’ve always had. Piglet is just as timid, Tigger is just as bouncy, and Pooh is just as wise (and hungry for honey), but now they’re even cuter and more detailed and “real.” CGI is an amazing thing.

As for the story itself, I loved it. The real world is filled with drama and sadness, and that’s so often reflected in the best movies, but sometimes I just need a feel-good movie that will make me leave the theater feeling uplifted and warm. Christopher Robin has a little bit of everything: some nostalgia, a little action, and a lot of happy feelings as Christopher steps back from the stresses of adult life and remembers who he is inside. It’s the perfect way to spend an afternoon with your family, and hopefully introduce a new generation of kids to Winnie the Pooh.

Christopher Robin is in theaters now!  If you haven’t seen it yet, you can buy your tickets from home through Fandango.com.
