Christopher Robin & Pooh Reunite in Extended Sneak Peek
Next week, get ready to return to the Hundred Acre Wood.
As Disney’s Christopher Robin prepares to open in theaters everywhere, a new extended sneak peek provides a glimpse at the film’s story. A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard’s titular character has all grown up and is neglecting his young family due to a demanding job. While commiserating in a London park, Christopher finds himself reunited with childhood companion Winnie the Pooh who has ventured out of the Hundred Acre Wood looking for his friends.

As a shocked Christopher initially chalks up Pooh’s appearance as a stress-induced hallucination, the living stuffed bear cheerfully points out “it’s not stress, it’s Pooh!”
The extended clip reveals that others can see Pooh walk and talk with Christopher telling his old friend to act as if he’s napping to avoid attention.

With Christopher Robin’s family meeting his iconic childhood friends and visiting the Hundred Acre Wood, the upcoming blend of live-action and CGI promises to remind even the most harried, hard-working figures the value of imagination and what’s really important in life.
