It’s not just that it’s jarring to see these characters in a form aside from hand-drawn animation. But at key moments, Pooh - who first travels to London without intending to so he can find his missing friends - and then other characters like Piglet and Eeyore are surrounded by plenty of strange humans. For most of the film, Pooh and the others are seen only in the Hundred Acre Wood with Christopher, either as a boy or an adult. (Also, the co-writer of Paddington 2, Simon Farnaby, shows up in both that film and Christopher Robin, more unexpectedly in the latter.)Īt the very least, the effects aren’t as well integrated in Christopher Robin. Both are pics derived from beloved British literature, both feature talking CG bears and both involve a workaholic parent learning to value his family a bit more. In a number of ways, watching Christopher Robin brings up memories of this year’s earlier family film Paddington 2. Watching Ewan McGregor - playing an adult version of Christopher Robin who encounters his old stuffed-animal friends while experiencing a crisis of conscience at work and home - interact with what are meant to be fully realized versions of Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and the others is an odd experience, to say the least.
