Ewan McGregor, the actor who will be portraying the role of Christopher Robin in Disney’s upcoming live-action spinoff of the same name, apparently has a childhood Winnie the Pooh connection. When asked if he was familiar with the books before he signed up for the movie, McGregor replied, “I remember the books, obviously. They were read to me when I was a little boy and I remember being very fond of them, and I read them to my children as well. I had a bear like Winnie the Pooh. It was a sort of old-fashioned bear with arms and legs that had those funny joints. It wasn’t a Winnie the Pooh bear, but it was very much like him. And when I acted with our Winnie the Pooh, it reminded me of my old bear.”
Written by AA Milne, Winnie the Pooh books were transformed into a franchise by Disney in the mid-20th century. Cashing in on the nostalgia and continuing the trend of recent Disney reinventions of classic stories and movies, this week’s big Hollywood release Christopher Robin features the now-adult Christopher Robin who has lost touch with his childhood and his sense of imagination. He is often buried in work and has no time for his family. It takes Pooh and others to remind him of all the lovely things in the world, things he has forgotten.
Christopher Robin releases on August 10 in India.
