I have now seen Christopher Robin two and 3/4 times. I say 2 3/4 times because the most recent time was at home with the whole family after I had come home from a trip and was about to head back to work for the weekend. I my exhaustion and snuggles with Andrew I fell asleep during the middle of the movie. I saw all the beginning that told the story of Christopher growing up, quickly, and then falling in love with Evelyn. Then he has to go off to war and leave his pregnant wife home. He returns several years later to meet his daughter for the first time. The movie picks up with Christopher working for a luggage company. Responsibilities of his job keep him from spending time with his family. He has lost his ability to play. He has grown up and forgotten his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. That is until he is reminded of them and a visit from Winnie the Pooh changes his life.

The movie, Christopher Robin, began to play in theaters last Friday. I had the privilege to speak with the main cast and also the director, Marc Forster about the movie.

I hope that you have enjoyed reading them and also my red carpet recap and Christopher Robin movie review.

Shepard that shaped this movie into the very special thing that it is. Not to mention the care he took in selecting the cast.
