Just got back from seeing the Christopher Robin movie starring Ewan McGregor

This is one of the nicest movies that I've seen recently. I absolutely loved the opening montage showing the growth and time passing of Christopher Robin, it was amazingly well done. I hope it gets some Oscar nods, but I doubt it.

One thing that we enjoyed was adult Christopher's wife is played by Hayley Atwell, also known as Agent Carter from various Marvel Cinematic Universe properties. And there's a Time Lord in the movie. So for fanfic possibilities we have a Jedi master, a top-notch spy, and a Time Lord. My wife was talking about a fanfic Lord of the Rings that she's developing, and now we've got this rattling around her skull!

It's entirely fictional, it's a slight twisting of the Milne history of Pooh, and I won't go further than saying that the main character's name is Christopher Robin, not Christopher Robin Milne. I also know the real CR Milne's story of how he felt exploited, and this is not a rehash of that story.

I highly recommend it.

I tried very hard to be non-spoilery. Since it was obvious that Christopher was now an adult, I didn't consider revealing that he was married constituted a spoiler.

I want to watch Goodbye Christopher Robin soon, going to check what I have available on my Apple TV subscriptions later today.
