Christopher Robin (2018)

It has always been my philosophy that it is sometimes best to do nothing. It's overall a sweet movie with a powerful underestimated message. The great philosopher Winnie the Pooh has some words of wisdom for us all. And he delivers them to us effortlessly and unknowingly, making it all the more delightful and unexpected. Just let the levity yet simultaneous depth of his words sink in and you too can find value in this children's movie. The movie masterfully mixes melancholy and humor.

The opening montage is very well done. Christopher Robin grows up before our eyes, with a series of brief scenes from his life punctuated by hand-drawn stills echoing the books.  The references to the original stories sprinkled throughout the movie are charming.
