Christopher Robin is a 2018 Disney film that follows an older Christopher Robin, played by Ewan McGregor, as he struggles to balance work, family and his own happiness. A former resident of the Hundred Acre Wood and the best friend of Pooh and his group, Robin now works at a company that deals with luggage manufacture. His much-loved teddy bear and chums from childhood are left behind as he tends to his wife, Evelyn, played by Hayley Atwell, his daughter, Madeline, played by Bronte Carmichael and his professional life.

As the film begins, Robin is overworked and underappreciated, missing appointments and neglecting his family in order to please his boss. When his boss demands that he work over the weekend to present the company with a plan to cut costs, Robin's plans to spend time with his family are swiftly destroyed. At this point, Christopher Robin is reunited with his old friends Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet. They make their way into the modern world and find Robin to persuade him to return home to the Hundred Acre Wood to help find Tigger's lost friends.

Once they have found themselves walking along the countryside, interacting with the locals and visiting extraordinary places like a carnival park that has a theme of the Hundred Acre Wood, Robin begins to regain some of the joy and imagination he had lost as an adult. Alongside his faithful teddy bear, Pooh, Robin rediscovers the importance of play and the wonders of imagination.

As their journey continues, we are taken through the heart of what it means to be human, to feel and to learn about what truly matters. The once jaded Christopher Robin is reminded of his values and the importance of spending time with those you love, an important lesson for the whole family to take home. Throughout the movie, there are humorous moments, touching moments, and touching moments.

The performances by all the actors were tremendous, but Ewan McGregor really hit the mark with his portrayal of Christopher Robin. He captures the essence of an overworked father and husband, trying to balance his family life and the responsibility of his job, all while revisiting his childhood once more. McGregor's performance is heartfelt and emotional, perfectly portraying the multiple emotions of a character whose world is changing drastically.

Hayley Atwell's portrayal of Evelyn is powerful and compelling. Her performance reflects the feeling of a wife needing her husband to come back to what really matters in life. Atwell's chemistry with McGregor is exceptional, showcasing the connection between the two characters, and the efforts made by Evelyn to keep her husband grounded.

The animation and visual effects in the film are also brilliant, with Pooh and his friends wonderfully brought to life on the big screen. Whether they are exploring the city or going on adventures, the animation is smooth and detailed, enhancing the storyline and adding magic to the mix.

The storyline and character development are well crafted, providing deep insight into the human experience. The script is smart and witty, with a perfect balance of heart and humor, making it an exceptional watch for audiences of all ages.

In conclusion, Christopher Robin is a delightful film for the whole family. Its themes of family values and friendship, delivered through well-rounded character development, are of great relevance to children and adults alike.
