This movie is a quite well executed nostalgia piece, but I don’t really have the touchpoints for it. If you are very much endeared to Winnie the Pooh then I’m sure you’ll like it much more than I did. The plot is all the standard ‘work bad, family good’ window dressing for the heart of the story, which is Christopher Robin reuniting with his friends from the 100 Acre Wood after he’s grown up. The glittering diamond in the rough here is the impeccable dialogue from Christopher Robin’s pint-sized compatriots, that had me actually laughing out loud at least half a dozen times.

Closest Comparison: The Finding Neverland director shifts his sights from Peter Pan to Winnie the Pooh, but with less to say on the matter.

Setting: Post-War (Civilian side)
Plot: Drama
Tone: Family
