It’s difficult to argue against Disney for the quality of their output of late. Just days after the release of the trailer for Mary Poppins Returns comes our very first look at Christopher Robin, the Mouse House’s new, heartwarming live action adventure.
The film revolves around the young boy who embarked on countless adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood with his band of spirited and lovable stuffed animals, who has now grown up and lost his way. Now it is up to his childhood friends to venture into our world and help Christopher Robin remember the loving and playful boy who is still inside.
Disney’s Christopher Robin is directed by Marc Forster from a screenplay by Alex Ross Perry and Allison Schroeder and a story by Perry based on characters created by A.A. Milne.
The producers are Brigham Taylor and Kristin Burr with Renée Wolfe and Jeremy Johns serving as executive producers.
