However, he receives a wake-up call when Pooh and his friends suddenly re-enter Christopher’s life…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The beloved stories of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin explore a whole new chapter, one where reality has kicked in and imagination thoroughly needs to be reintroduced, all of which is made possible in this enchanting and sweet live-action/CGI hybrid.
