REVIEW SUMMARY
"Christopher Robin is an often-charming heart warmer of a film. Beware though, there is a rather slowwww start where I can definitely see some kids finding themselves getting bored. BUT, when the gangs all there (Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Owl etc.), it’s nothing but smiles! The CGI of Pooh and friends also deserves major accolades as it is absolutely adorable (they should literally sell the stuffed animal versions of these characters outside the cinema when it’s over – surely everyone would want one). In the end, one can say this movie is predictable. But it's predictably sweet and enjoyable - like a big bowl of honey."
