When you think about Winnie the Pooh, you probably think about your childhood. Maybe the very thought of it even takes you back to a simpler, easier time when one of your biggest concerns was picking out the book you wanted your parents to read for you at bedtime. After all, Winnie the Pooh typically brings about such feelings. As such, most kids have grown up with the story and in most cases, it’s a story that individuals carry near and dear to their heart, even well into adulthood.
For years, Winnie the Pooh existed in books and cartoons, but that was just about the extent of it. All of that is about to change. Now, there is a movie called Christopher Robin that brings the Winnie the Pooh story back to life. This is a movie that would work well for young adults and older adults alike. It can even work well for some children if they’re mature enough to handle some deeper subjects. You might say that the cartoon stories of Winnie the Pooh have been taken and aged a little bit so that more poignant stories can be told. If you haven’t already seen the trailer for Christopher Robin, keep reading to find out what it’s all about.
Basically, this is a movie that incorporates live action animation with traditionally filmed scenes in order to create something that is completely unique. In the film, Christopher Robin starts out as a child and then grows up. It can be a rather sad story at times, because he and Winnie the Pooh are separated for a time. Later, they’re reunited when Christopher Robin is a fully grown young man.
To hear it, you might think that this movie would be difficult when it comes to effectively telling the story. After all, it isn’t really a cartoon and it isn’t completely filmed in a traditional sense since it uses some live action animation for Winnie the Pooh’s character. With that being said, the movie really does work quite well. Even when you watch the trailer, you get that sense that it’s a movie about something more than the childhood books. In fact, it’s all about loyalty and friendship that never ends, even when two friends can’t be together for a very long time. You might even go as far as saying it’s about finding one’s soulmate, even if that doesn’t occur in a romantic sense like most people would likely expect. There are times when the movie is going to require some tissues, and this is apparent even in the trailer.
The truth is, you can watch the trailer and start to realize how much you really want to see this movie, even if you’re an adult and you typically don’t like movies of this type. There’s just something about this one that makes it special. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it does remind us all about our childhood, a time when many of us felt safer and more at ease with the world around us. When you combine those feelings with the story the way that it’s told in the movie, it becomes something that’s hard to resist, no matter how young or old you might be.
