Darker and Edgier | |
| Christopher Robin / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: In this version, the adult Christopher Robin is a cynical workaholic hardened in his childhood by being sent off to boarding school and as an adult by serving in World War II. Furthermore, Pooh comes across as wistful and sad rather than the familiar, happy-go-lucky character we're all used to. | |

Tempting Fate: In the prologue depicting Christopher's final afternoon in the Hundred Acre Wood, Pooh asks what he'll do if Christopher forgets him. The boy responds that he'll never forget Pooh, painfully unaware that life and growing up will indeed cause him to forget his childhood friends. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Christopher Robin / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: One of the promos for the film has Pooh surprising a policeman that he can talk. In the film, he is actually speaking to Madeline. The main trailer spells out most of the plot up to Christopher Robin’s reconciliation with Pooh, but implies that a bulk of the film will focus on Pooh and friends journeying into the real world to save Christopher Robin. The trailers don’t mention that they're trying to return Christopher Robin’s work papers to him, and this plot is only the last act of the film. The main trailer also suggests that Christopher Robin quickly agrees to help Pooh find his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. It doesn’t reveal that it takes quite a bit of cajoling for Christopher Robin to go to the Wood and he's far from enthusiastic even when he does go. | |

Redemption in the Rain | |
| Christopher Robin / int_1c5d0ed0 | comment |
Redemption in the Rain: Christopher lightens up noticeably after being caught in a rain storm while trapped in the Heffalump and Woozle Trap (although being bonked on the head by a stone while trying to climb out probably also helped). Once he's floated to the top (in a notably Christ-like pose), he starts to engage more with the Hundred-Acre Wood and its inhabitants rather than just curtly brushing them off. | |

Stealth Pun: When slammed onto the car windshield, Eeyore deadpans, "My bum hurts." Another word for bum is ass, and ass is also an old-fashioned word for donkey. So Eeyore could've also meant, "I hurt all over." | |

Your Mind Makes It Real | |
| Christopher Robin / int_234073a4 | comment |
Your Mind Makes It Real: The Hundred Acre Wood becomes gloomy and morose when Christopher returns to it, and doesn’t brighten up until he begins to have fun and reunite his old friends. This trope is downplayed overall, though, since the Wood and its inhabitants appear to exist independently of Christopher Robin and his belief in them. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Christopher Robin / int_26ac510e | comment |
While naturally borrowing a lot from the Disney canon, there's far more Mythology Gags and characteristics taken from the original novels. Pooh's mellow and philosophical side is demonstrated more here over the chipper Kindhearted Simpleton he is in most Disney works, Eeyore is more sarcastic, Rabbit clashes with Owl more than Tigger, Kanga is more childlike and foolish like everyone else. Everyone but Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore are also given British accents to reflect the book's origin. | |

Disappeared Dad | |
| Christopher Robin / int_28cd01ca | comment |
Disappeared Dad: Christopher Robin's father died when his son was at boarding school, forcing young Christopher to become the man of the house at a very young age. Christopher Robin himself is a downplayed example, he was off at war when his daughter Madeline was born and didn’t meet her until she was three years old. In the present day, due to his busy, hectic schedule, Christopher Robin is largely absent from his daughter's life, which is the main conflict of the movie. | |

Kick the Dog: When Christopher nearly loses his work documents, he goes on a rant at Pooh for reentering his life and messing everything up. Pooh meekly apologizes, but Christopher even calls him a "bear of very little brain" with absolutely none of the trademark warmth the saying is known for. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: The film starts idealistically in Christopher's childhood, before becoming more cynical as Christopher grows up and his life spirals out of control. However, after Christopher rescues his friends, the film slowly climbs back up the scale to land on a very idealistic ending. | |

Break the Cutie | |
| Christopher Robin / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: The first part of the movie, after Christopher Robin leaves the Hundred Acre Woods to go to boarding school, is the start of a series of traumas for him, as his love of Pooh and his imagination are literally beaten out of him at a Boarding School of Horrors and then, after he meets his wife and helps make a baby, goes off to experience War Is Hell and miss years of his daughter's life. He returns still a good man, but a much more somber man, a broken man, a man who can't remember the joy of childhood and thinks a textbook will be good for bedtime stories. | |

Not Allowed to Grow Up: While Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore appear to have aged a bit since they last saw Christopher Robin as a child, Piglet and Roo appear to be two of the few residents of the Hundred Acre Woods that still show no signs of aging after all these years. Even more evident for Rabbit and Owl, who are in fact real animals instead of stuffed toys like the others, yet seem the same as ever. | |

| Christopher Robin / int_64f3ea6e | comment |
Disneyfication: A moderated one, since the film really pulls no punches with the Ascended Fridge Horror of Christopher Robin growing up, losing his innocence and becoming detached from his imaginary friends (especially during the periods of war and struggling economics). It does however add on a Happy Ending to it all, showing Christopher Robin will eventually reunite with Pooh and the others, something which is left completely ambiguous and doubtful in the original works. Even more so compared to the real-life Christopher Robin Milne, who came to loathe Pooh in his adult years. | |

Meaningful Echo: A lot of Pooh's common sayings get repeated and changed to apply to Christopher. We also get Christopher returning to the Hundred Acre Wood, and he begins to remember his childhood when he returns to the bridge over the river and drops a stick in the water, just as he did when he left for the last time, and his reflection in the water is himself as a child. | |

| Christopher Robin / int_6c51e9e1 | comment |
Fisher King: The weather in the Hundred-Acre Wood seems to adjust to reflect Christopher Robin's moods. When he's a child, it's blissful and idyllic. As he grows up, we see it alter to reflect how he feels about the things happening to him (when he learns his father has died, there's snow; when he meets Evelyn, it's pleasant again, and so on), until when he finally returns as a stressed-out, depressed and emotionally-distant adult, it's dark, gloomy, overcast, and full of shadows. When he finally starts unwinding and enjoying life again, it's bright and cheerful. When he has to leave again, it's a bit overcast to reflect his regret, but otherwise remains pleasant as he takes his lighter mood with him. Finally, when he and his family visit at the end (with the implication that they'll all be visiting more frequently), it's idyllic once again. | |

Storybook Opening | |
| Christopher Robin / int_782fdff | comment |
Storybook Opening: As a nod to the original featurettes, as well as the books that inspired it, the opening takes place within the pages of the original Milne books, complete with some reproductions of Shepherd's illustrations. Some liberties are taken however. For example, one illustration depicts Christopher and his friends making a "Heffalump and Woozle Trap", but heffalumps and woozles originally appeared in separate stories, never together. | |

Honest Corporate Executive | |
| Christopher Robin / int_7a555627 | comment |
Honest Corporate Executive: When his boss Giles Winslow, Jr. tells him their company needs to cut their workforce, Christopher Robin protests, reminding him that he promised the workers good jobs. However, Winslow, Sr. is a straighter example of this, embracing Christopher’s solution to the budget crisis and chastising his son for slacking off and forcing Christopher to do all the work. | |

Shout-Out to Shakespeare: The recurring "Nothing comes from nothing" line is a reference to King Lear, where the titular king asks Cordelia what she can say to surpass her sisters' eloquent speeches, she answers "Nothing", which prompts Lear to respond with "Nothing will come of nothing", which is echoed by Lear's fool a few scenes later: | |

Magical Land: Hundred Acre Wood isn't just a forest where Christopher Robin played as a child outside his family's cottage, but a magical place you access by climbing through a magic door in a tree. It also responds to Christopher Robin's emotional well-being, reflecting his gloominess and him gradually relearning how to play. | |

Audience Shift | |
| Christopher Robin / int_8cca5f19 | comment |
Audience Shift: Downplayed. The film is still largely family friendly and lighthearted. However, unlike the previous animated films, which were primarily aimed towards children, the film is aimed more towards an older audience and contains several scenes that would have been out of place in the previous animated films (such as Christopher Robin fighting in WWII). It's also the first Winnie the Pooh project to get a PG rating as opposed to G like the previous films. | |

A Day in the Limelight: While Christopher Robin has always been an integral part of the franchise, he often just showed up to be the voice of reason to Pooh's antics and often didn't show up in a lot of media involving Winnie the Pooh. This film however has him as the central spotlight character, showing him struggling with his life as an adult after having to let go of the 100 Acre Woods many years ago. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Christopher Robin / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: The opening scene is the last chapter of The House at Pooh Corner, previously animated in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Pooh mentions that he's good at doing nothing and that he does nothing all day. Christopher Robin, who had begun attending school, asked Pooh to remember him when he grows up, because grown-ups will have to do "nothing". When Christopher Robin gets stuck in a gap in a tree, Pooh asks if he just ate honey, a nod to Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, where Pooh got stuck in Rabbit's burrow after eating too much honey. When riding in a taxi around London, Tigger calls his reflection in the window a "preposterous impostor", referencing his first scene in the original film. Christopher Robin discovers that Owl's treehouse has fallen over "again", much like it did in Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. The third act involves Pooh and his friends venturing out of the Hundred Acre Wood to save Christopher from what they believe to be a monster, just like in Pooh's Grand Adventure. This time, though, Pooh misinterprets it because Christopher Robin directly told him he would be eaten by a Woozle if he lost his work papers (a simplified way of telling Pooh if he lost the papers, he loses his job thanks to his boss Winslow), meaning that Pooh takes Owl's place of mistakenly sending them on an adventure. The bit where Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet fly through the air and slam into Christopher Robin's windshield is a play on the Blustery Day bit where Piglet and Pooh are blown against Owl's window, with Piglet even in a similar pose. | |

Real Is Brown | |
| Christopher Robin / int_b23e7ba9 | comment |
Real Is Brown: Unusual for a Disney and Pooh film, all of the colors are very desaturated to emphasize the depressing reality of what it means to grow up and lose your innocence — even Pooh looks worn and depressed. It's a deliberate example of this trope, as the opening of the film has a brighter, more vibrant color palette, as do the Hundred Acre Wood scenes when Christopher reconciles with his old friends. Even so, the characters themselves were designed to resemble actual plush toys whose fur has faded and pilled with age. Piglet wears a dark green sweater as he did in the original stories, as opposed to the vibrant pink he's mostly known for in Disney works, and Rabbit's fur is brown like in the original stories instead of the yellow or green colors he's given in the cartoons. Played With for Eeyore, who is clearly baby blue as opposed to his usual gray. While the character is usually plain blue for merchandising, the real Eeyore is on display in the New York Public Library, and is quite definitely gray◊. Tigger's stripes have faded to almost be a constant brown. In fact, he's faded much more than the real original Tigger has. | |

Truer to the Text | |
| Christopher Robin / int_b552b24 | comment |
Truer to the Text: While naturally borrowing a lot from the Disney canon, there's far more Mythology Gags and characteristics taken from the original novels. Pooh's mellow and philosophical side is demonstrated more here over the chipper Kindhearted Simpleton he is in most Disney works, Eeyore is more sarcastic, Rabbit clashes with Owl more than Tigger, Kanga is more childlike and foolish like everyone else. Everyone but Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore are also given British accents to reflect the book's origin. Piglet is depicted with a green sweater like in the original Milne books as opposed to the pink one he gained in the Disney adaptations. | |

Demoted to Extra: Rabbit, Kanga, Roo, and Owl suffer this, since they are relegated to only a few scenes and do not join the “expotition” into London. Rabbit and Roo are particularly notable, since the former is usually a part of the main cast of Pooh media (though he has been the most likely of the core five to get shafted or left out), and the latter enjoyed a large amount of spotlight in the 2000’s. Kanga in particular only gets a small handful of lines. | |

Market-Based Title | |
| Christopher Robin / int_b9c673a6 | comment |
Market-Based Title: The French title is Jean-Christophe and Winnie. Christopher has always been named "Jean-Christophe" in Disney's French translations for some reason. Winnie the Pooh is very well known, but Christopher's family name is rarely if ever mentioned in the French dubs of the franchise (though the Milne books call him "Christophe Robin"). In Japan, the film's title is "Pooh to otona ni natta boku", which translates into something like "Pooh and I Who Has Become An Adult". In Norway, the movie's title is Kristoffer Robin og Ole Brumm (Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh). Though "Kristoffer Robin" is a pretty well known character in Norway and probably could have carried the title alone, it's Pooh that Norwegians know and love, and the title was changed to reflect that the movie was about the relationship between the two. | |

Hope Spot: For Pooh and friends. When Christopher Robin returns to the Hundred Acre Wood, he reunites his gang of beloved old friends, has some fun, and reconciles with Pooh. Sounds perfect, right? Unfortunately, Christopher still goes to return to his life and his work, leaving his friends once again. Pooh is crushed that his best friend is leaving him once again after a short reunion after so many years. Evelyn and Madeline have one when Christopher turns up at the cottage... only to say he can’t stay. They’re both heartbroken. Madeline and Pooh arrive at Winslow's with Christopher's important papers, only for Madeline to slip on wet pavement and lose them all to the wind. | |

Non-Standard Character Design | |
| Christopher Robin / int_c55c31e2 | comment |
Non-Standard Character Design: Rabbit and Owl are portrayed as a real, living rabbit and owl living amongst the stuffed animals. This has precedent in their storybook and cartoon designs, which depict them as generally more animal-like than the others through details such as less rounded faces, hands with fingers, and lack of stitching, but it is much more notable here. Similarly, Heffalumps in Christopher Robin's nightmare are portrayed as very realistic looking elephants with no anthropomorphism, albeit with oversized tusks to look more frightening. Tigger's design stands out among the group as being a little unusual in a few respects. Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore have all been designed to look like worn out stuffed animal versions of their pre-Disney counterparts. Tigger, on the other hand, keeps his very distinctive Disney head shape, and for some reason, his stripes are even more faded than his original stuffed animal (although, like all the original designs and unlike Disney, his hands are plush stumps with no thumb). | |

Vitriolic Best Buds: The growing difference in maturity and intellect has taken its toll between Pooh and Christopher Robin, with the latter frequently getting frustrated with the former's childishness. It soon becomes clear he loves his silly old bear as much as before, though. Expectedly, Rabbit is a bit prickly-tempered with the group. Less expectedly, his grievances tend to be less with Pooh or Tigger like usual and more with Owl (who has bickered with Rabbit in earlier works but far less often). | |

Avoid the Dreaded G Rating: This is the first Pooh project to ever get a PG rating despite previous movies getting a G rating and the cartoons being rated TV-Y. Then again, this isn't the only time it's happened to a lighthearted franchise like this. The PG rating presumably comes from a 10 second clip showing Christopher Robin fighting in a battle in WWII, because there's nothing else that would definitely push it into PG territory. Averted in Australia, where the film was rated G for "Very Mild Themes." | |

Hate Sink | |
| Christopher Robin / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Winslow Jr. Being a Winnie the Pooh story, the film has no actual villains. Winslow Jr. serves the purpose of being a character the audience can root against. | |

Played With for Eeyore, who is clearly baby blue as opposed to his usual gray. While the character is usually plain blue for merchandising, the real Eeyore is on display in the New York Public Library, and is quite definitely gray◊. | |

In Which a Trope Is Described | |
| Christopher Robin / int_ec3ff1f7 | comment |
In Which a Trope Is Described: In a clever Mythology Gag to how the chapters of the original book were titled, the sequence of Christopher Robin growing up has odd-numbered significant events titled this way. | |

War Is Hell | |
| Christopher Robin / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: Christopher Robin's time during World War II is an unpleasant experience. Being away from his family (and the birth of his daughter) for three years is bad enough, but Christopher's last remaining innocence is robbed by the constant barrage of gunfire, screams, explosions and dying men in the cold winter. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: Thanks to Pooh and friends, Christopher Robin is not only able to reconnect with his wife and daughter, but he's able to find a way to keep everyone's jobs and call out his boss for making him work the weekend away without contributing anything. | |

Downer Beginning | |
| Christopher Robin / int_f88f2449 | comment |
Downer Beginning: While the opening has the whimsy and fun wordplay of the classic stories as Pooh and friends throw Christopher Robin a party, it's a goodbye party as he's being shipped off to boarding school. It only goes downhill from there, as we see over the credits how he grows up — he's abused at a Boarding School of Horrors, he learns of his father's death while there, and is eventually shipped to the front lines of World War II. The only bright spot is him meeting Evelyn (and even that has a sour point to it, as they conceive Madeline only for Christopher to be drafted and sent to war, missing her entire infancy and much of her life as a toddler). | |

Running Gag | |
| Christopher Robin / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Whenever the human characters are carrying the animal characters through London, they will at some point have to interact with someone else (a train ticket collector, a salesman, a police officer, etc.). When they finish, the animal character will politely repeat the human character's thanks to the person they were interacting with. Cecil asks Christopher Robin if he has time for a game of gin rummy, with Christopher politely declining. | |

Real After All | |
| Christopher Robin / int_fb724048 | comment |
Real After All: In this film's continuity, the Hundred Acre Wood is confirmed to be a real, magical place that Christopher Robin enters through a tree outside his childhood home, Narnia style, and its residents are living sapient beings that can enter the real world and interact with other people. This isn't fully established until the toys meet Madeline and cause unintentional chaos throughout London, as in every scene before, it could be rationalized as Christopher Robin's imagination or something real only he could see. Ultimately Subverted with the Heffalumps and Woozles. When alone in the Wood, Christopher begins hearing hellish elephant-like sounds and begins to fear that this trope is in play after all. He ends up discovering that the Heffalump sounds were actually the distorted wailing of Owl's weather vane. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
| Christopher Robin / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: Pretty much Pooh's entire shtick. Eeyore gets in on the game, too, mistaking Christopher introducing "Evelyn, my wife" as not a description, but as part of her name, "Evelyn Mywife". | |

Ridiculously Cute Critter | |
| Christopher Robin / int_fd1f1a63 | comment |
Ridiculously Cute Critter: While Pooh, Piglet, Kanga, and Roo's cute appearances has been toned down a bit in this film compared to their animation counterparts, they still maintain their friendly appearance even in live-action form. The fact they along with Tigger and Eeyore look like real, well-loved stuffed animals in fact yields its own form of looking very cuddly and endearing. | |

Artistic License – Economics | |
| Christopher Robin / int_fd76df83 | comment |
Artistic License – Economics: Christopher Robin's solution to the company's money troubles is to lower the prices on their products so more people could afford to buy them. While this isn't entirely unfeasible, the company was looking at cutting twenty percent of its costs, which means their profit margins would have to increase dramatically, and it's dubious if Christopher's plan could do that. Further, it was mentioned earlier that no one is going on vacation because they can't afford to, World War II just happened, and it's not like lowering the price of luggage is going to make a significant impact on the overall costs of planning a holiday. This trope may be considered permissible on account that the reasons for the company's struggles are a secondary plot point at best — the real story of importance is the stress Christopher Robin is under from the job. | |

Brick Joke: After Evelyn and Madeline leave for the cottage, Christopher discovers a note she left him, along with a picture he drew as a boy of himself and Pooh. In the second act, he and Evelyn find a note she left saying she's gone to hunt Woozles with the gang from Hundred Acre Woods. During the search for their daughter, Christopher introduces Evelyn to the gang as "Evelyn, my wife." Later, Eeyore continues to call her "Evelyn my wife." | |
