Christopher Robin (2018)

If there is any film this year that is as adorable as the films characters, it's this one. Based on the beloved books "Winnie The Pooh" by A.A Milne, comes an all new film based on the iconic and only human character to venture into the "One Hundred Acre Wood", Christopher Robin. This film is nostalgic for all who grew up with these iconic and lovable stories and characters. It is one of the best family films of the year.

Playing the iconic character, Christopher Robin, is Ewan McGregor. McGregor does an outstanding job as the self-titled character in a way that is lovable and happy. He brings out the best this film has to offer with his character. He's another piece of that nostalgic pie.

This film is not only enjoyable and entertaining, but it offers commentary on some of life's most enjoyable times in our lives: Childhood and growing up. This film shows both young and old audiences that you're never too old to have fun and an imagination. This film will no doubt be delighting audiences for years to come.

Director Marc Forster makes an undeniably charming and unforgettable film. It has charm, humor and a boat load of fun that both kids and adults will be entertained from start to finish. This is one of the best films of the year in regards to family fun and the films that "Disney" released this year.

At the heart of this film, is the life-like recreation of iconic characters: Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet, Kanga and Roo, are all as cute and adorable as they were back then. You see the friendship of both Christopher Robin and Pooh but also the rest of the friends. It's delightful and fun.

Geoff Zanelli crafts the score of the film. He makes a light and happy score that is as charming as the film itself. The film also has some of the songs from the original films, like Tigger's song. The inclusion of that makes the case for more nostalgia.

Get ready to go on a nostalgic journey! This film will delight the likes of young and older viewers. It has some of the best moments of any film family oriented of the year. This film is emotional, it's charming and funny, and it is no doubt a film that succeeds at entertaining audiences familiar with these characters and those who are not.
