Mental Health Day!
Woke up feeling bleh.
Went out to get something to eat later in the morning.
My travels brought me to the Disney Store at Serramonte.
There were a couple of displays of Winnie the Pooh stuff, but I didn’t see any Christopher Robin movie related merchandise.
Until I saw this.
When you pair Obi-Wan Kenobi and Peggy Carter together in a movie, along with Mycroft Holmes and a bunch of beloved stuffed animals, you know I’ll come a-runnin’.
Christopher Robin is the first movie in a long time that had me laughing and crying equally, sometimes at the same time.
I couldn’t relate to the title character because let’s face it, I’m still a kid at heart.
But to watch him interact with some of my best friends from childhood (at some point after Kindergarten, we had the whole gang from the 100 Acre Woods) just made me smile with tears of joy, though there were a few moments of real sadness.
The voice acting was great, it was a pleasure to hear Peter Capaldi as Rabbit.
And two songs that I had hoped would make it into the movie, did. One is obvious, about a certain bouncing animal, the other almost made me jump out of my seat from pure surprise and happiness.
I highly recommend seeing it. Go now!
I always thought I was named after Christopher Robin, until I was told that I was named after an uncle who I had never met until my sister’s 18th birthday party shindig.
I heard about Disney’s plans to make a live action film a while ago, but didn’t think they ever actually would do it.
Yeah, right.
Today they released a teaser poster, so I went to see who is starring in this movie.
Holy crap, Ewan McGregor and Haley Atwell!
And Peter Capaldi is the voice of Rabbit!
And that description…
In the heartwarming live action adventure Disney’s Christopher Robin, the young boy who loved embarking on adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood with a band of spirited and lovable stuffed animals, has grown up and lost his way. Now it is up to his childhood friends to venture into our world and help Christopher Robin remember the loving and playful boy who is still inside.
I guess I’m going to go see this one. I think I need to see this one.
