The second Pooh influenced film of the last couple of years & this one revolves around author A.A. Milne & his son who was the inspiration for Christopher Robin. Milne was WWI vet who shaken to the core due to the horrors of war but to deflect his desire to write a tome denouncing the futility of combat, his wife convinced him to have a child & write lighter fare to the chagrin of his son who felt more like a plaything for inspiration than a beloved son. Not a miss like the recent Pooh flick but ultimately this tale doesn't really endear one for the Pooh works but questions the rationale for them being written in the first place. I would place this w/Saving Mr. Banks as another sobering take on what most people feel is a beloved classic.
