A film which should be viewed by anyone who was brought up on the A.A.Milne Winnie the Pooh stories. The huge international popularity of the books was something I never realized although I had read many years ago that Christopher Robin had, understandably, a most unenviable time at school as a result. The entire movie was very well filmed and showed clearly the inspiration for most of the locations in the stories. Thoroughly recommended.

This is a very beautifully filmed movie about the background to the writing of the Winnie the Pooh books, the effect of serving in WWI on A A Milne and his friend Ernest Shepard, who illustrated the books, and the relationship Milne had with his son Christopher Robin whose stuffed toys were the inspiration for the books. The books became internationally popular propelling A A Milne and his son to celebrity status.
I wonder if this is how children view their PTSD afflicted parents- An enjoyable biopic of AA Milne, Christopher Robin , Pooh Bear and the rest is history:)
The children and adults in our family loved this Dvd
