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

I’m honestly more optimistic for this one than the Mary Poppins sequel, since it’s kinda it’s own thing seprarate from the animated stuff. It’s technically a sequel, but more a “here’s what happened long after the book itself” way instead of a direct one. Plus, that Pooh voice just hits me in the right spot.

Oh, and he’s supposed to look scruffy and worn out because he IS scruffy and worn out. He’s a old well-worn stuffed animal.

I was hoping they'd get Craig Ferguson back as Owl, he was the best part of the 2011 movie. But Ewan McGregor (almost) makes up for it.

I'm a sucker for period movies, with this looking like it's set in the 1940s or something. Still, either Disney will shove some virtual signaling bullshit into it, or SJWs will REEEEE about it being racist by historical context of when Britain was white. I mean, you can't even watch A Christmas Story or play Cuphead without being reminded of a soy boy on the internet calling it racist for evoking the "good old days."

You know, I feel like this is Disney's way of combatting 'Goodbye, Christopher Robin' (which is a bleaker, if not bittersweet look at the real-life Christopher Robin, and has not yet come out in North America) by doing something that has the more treacly trappings of the books. But considering they also put out the giant lie that was 'Saving Mr. Banks', well... there you go.

Plus, I think Disney is really reaching it with the live action quasi-sequels... I would've thought the box office bomb of 'Alice Through The Looking Glass' would have immediately ended any that were in production, much in the same way 'Tomorrowland' put a stop on movies based on theme park attractions.

That didn't stop Disney for making the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie. As for the live-action adaptation train of Disney classics, how long until they put out The Little Mermaid and Mulan?

Certainly. That film (and sequel) certainly showed a direction they might try to go with this, of course I think it worked for Paddington effectively as the films adapted Michael Bond's characters and settings in a manner that felt very much close to its source material in spirit. It was a unique expansion of those books with an artistic flair for design and direction. You really did want to believe in this bear and the world he inhabits.

I wish people stop that. It ruins the enjoyment of history for me.
