Disney's Christopher Robin - a.k.a. there are now officially too many sequels...THE SEQUEL

So....yeah. A live action Winnie the Pooh sequel/reboot movie with a grown up Christopher Robin re-encountering a hideous CGI Pooh is coming out


Coldly and cynically calculated to drive millennial manchildren mad with autistic nostalgia for when they were shitting in pampers and watching a gay bear cartoon

On one hand, obvious cash grab to get nostalgia democratic points.
On the other hand i have to say the CGI Pooh doesn't look as terrible in the teaser as some claim.
I don't get what people expected him to look like. Like Rocket Racoon? As far as I know, he is meant to be a toy bear. So the idea of the design looking like if an actual, worn out toy bear came somehow to live, including uncanny valley, is not all that bad in my opinion. I would at least wait till more comes out and someone sees more of what the other characters are also like, before I give it a proper judgement.

That said, even if the CGI looks good and actors do a good job, I think it is pretty obvious that this will be one of your average "guy grows old and depressive stories", where over the course of the movie the character will somehow reconnect with his child like sense of wonder and optism he had in his youth but seemingly lost as he grw older. Which of course is represented by something embodying memories of his childhood. In that case, Pooh.
... lets just hope it turns more into some sort of Calvin and Hobbes 20 years later fanfic instead of "Drop Dead Fred".

When I was a kid I loved watching the 70s cartoon. But the very ending of it with the winking live action Pooh plush always made me run out of room before it got to that bit.

Seeing this trailer made me remember that raw, visceral fear.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Disney is going to add that clip after the end of the credits for Christopher Robin, just for the nostalgia factor.

Either that, or Christopher Robin encounters Nick Fury, who recruits him into the Avengers, take your pick...

"What to do indeed?" Came the sinister question from behind.

Christopher Robin turned around, his eyes widening in horror as he processed the pint-sized nightmare before him. He shot up from the bench, grabbed his umbrella and held it above his head, the spoke pointing downwards.

"Oh, bother", said Pooh as the weaponized rain shield came towards him.

"NO!" Christopher yelled as he plunged the pointed tip of his umbrella into the creature's belly, stuffing bursting from the resulting puncture.

"I LEFT YOU! I LEFT YOU IN THE WOODS!" He stabbed his once-beloved bear in a frenzy, the aged cloth ripping apart as the scruffy toy flailed from side to side - strangely, but perhaps mercifully, Pooh did not voice his distress as he was destroyed.


Christopher Robin stood and stared at the pile of cloth, sinew and stuffing at his feet. A light breeze pushed a few stray bits of cotton along the grass. Christopher clutched his umbrella tightly with a trembling hand, clumps of soil and grass stuck on the end if it.

"Silly old bear" he hissed as he kicked one of Pooh's dismembered arms. He then remembered that he had personal matters to tend to and walked away.

Pooh looks creepy and dirty. And he sounds even older than usual.

Wait... Peter Capaldi's going to be Owl?

I might be interested.
 
I saw someone make that mistake of saying he plays Owl, and now I've repeated it. Fuck me.

I really, really want Wooster, the giant Woozel, to be in this movie.

But Disney likely forgot his existence.

This won't be a true Winnie The Pooh film until someone splices in footage of Thomas The Tank Engine, Rainbow Dash and the cast of Hey Arnold!

Funny enough, the real Christopher Robin as a boy did have a train layout that featured a Thomas-esque tank engines (Yeah, Yeah Autism rate me all you want)
