Christopher Robin

☆☆☆☆
+
"Christopher Robin" is the heartwarming story of the adult Christopher (Ewan McGregor) losing his focus...only to be reminded by his childhood friend Winnie-the-Pooh.

With all of the love in his heart and his beautiful view of the world, Winnie-the-Pooh (voiced perfectly by Jim Cummings) is one the best characters on screen this year. Extra ☆ for Winnie.
