Long Lost Daughter
There’s no end to the schmaltz in Winnie the Pooh’s honey pot, yet Disney’s live-action “Christopher Robin” also tosses in enough charm and tomfoolery for a sufficiently Robin Hood The Rebellion delightful hang with the iconic bear.
Directed by Marc Forster (“Finding Neverland”), the family-friendly film (★★½ out of four; rated PG; in theaters nationwide Friday) takes the beloved characters from A.A. Milne’s Robin Hood 1920s stories and imagines them a few decades later. Christopher Robin (Ewan McGregor) is all grown up – and grumpy, to boot – yet again needing the friendship of Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet and Tigger.
Following a boarding school stint that took him away from the Hundred Wood Acre regulars, as well as his service in World War II, Christopher is now a workaholic efficiency manager at The Dark a struggling luggage company in London. His long hours at the office – and general nonsmiling, nonfun manner – have also taken their toll on his wife, Evelyn (Hayley Atwell), and their loving 9-year-old daughter, Madeline (Bronte Carmichael). Things get really grim when Christopher has to stay home during their weekend getaway, thanks to his snooty boss (Mark Gatiss).
