Many of the reviews have called the film, a harmless nostalgic trip for those who have grown up on Winnie the Pooh stories.

Check out some of the reviews below -

Vulture says, "Christopher Robin is faithful to A.A. Milne슬롯사이트™s sensibilities, to the letter in some respects, and his little profundities remain intact in the script. 슬롯사이트œI always get to where I슬롯사이트™m going by walking away from where I슬롯사이트™ve been,슬롯사이트� Pooh ruminates at one point. I find it odd that a figure that has since been appropriated as a kind of Western Zen master has been used in service of a story so invested in stopping that walk altogether."

NY Times says, "Once 슬롯사이트œChristopher Robin슬롯사이트� softens its insufferable, needlessly cynical conception of the title character, it offers more or less what a Pooh reboot should: a lot of nostalgia, a bit of humor (Brad Garrett슬롯사이트™s vocal deadpanning as Eeyore is a standout) and tactile computer animation that, even for the effects-jaded, makes it look as if the actors are interacting with real stuffed animals."

The Atlantic says, "I슬롯사이트™m not quite sure which madman at Disney gave the green light to a movie that uses the Winnie the Pooh series as a way into the emotional drudgery of Britain슬롯사이트™s returning soldiers. Christopher Robin is the kind of uncanny experiment that only gets to happen in children슬롯사이트™s films once every few years. But any time that underlying weirdness threatens to overwhelm everything, Pooh is there to urge the viewer not to stress슬롯사이트”a message that, especially in 2018, couldn슬롯사이트™t be more helpful."

Time says, "It슬롯사이트™s doubtful the movie would work at all if not for McGregor: He turns Christopher슬롯사이트™s anxiety into a haunting presence, the kind of storm cloud that we can all, now and then, feel hovering above us. Yet McGregor is also an actor capable of expressing unalloyed delight. And when, as Christopher Robin, he finally does, some of that delight rubs off on us too. It슬롯사이트™s just the thing when it슬롯사이트™s time for a little something, even if you슬롯사이트™re not quite sure what that something is."
