Disney produces some successful live action films in the recent years, such as Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent, and Beauty and the Beast etc. This summer, they prepared a new heartwarming live action movie, Christopher Robin.

Christopher Robin, who is all grown up now and becomes a working-class family man. He has lost the sight of what is important in life. He returns to Hundred Acre Wood after an unexpected visit from Winnie the Pooh. After a short adventure, Pooh and the friends realize that they should help Christopher Robin to rediscover happiness.

Some people might think that although Disney remakes their old animated films into live actions films, the stories and the characters are still for children. However, this is the reason why Disney remakes their films. They remind us through those characters from our childhood that in this hustle-bustle world, grownups should still keep a pure heart and childlike happiness in their lives. Just like the saying goes, “People say nothing is impossible”. It is an encouraging sentence for children, but for adults, it becomes a struggle. Most of us have become Christopher Robin. We can’t find a balance between work, friendship, and life. We are busy all day, and sometimes we have to sacrifice something important to us in order to achieve other things that we need. Gradually, we lose our joys.

Walt Disney said “Everybody in the world was once a child.” Therefore, sometimes we should slow down our life pace, without thinking of the future or the past. What we need to do is to find the clean and unspoiled world which hides deep in each of our hearts, and then we can taste the happiness that we thought we had lost. That world also reminds us not to forget and also cherish the most innocent moment we had.

The full trailer has released, and comments acclaim it one of the most adorable and heartwarming films. It receives a lot of positive comments. In addition, lots of people comment that Winnie the Pooh is their best childhood memory, and they get emotional while watching the trailer. It seems like Christopher Robin is going to be Disney’s next big hit.
