Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film's depiction of C.R. Milne's relationship with his parents is fairly accurate. The actual C.R. never forgave his father for exploiting him (perhaps inadvertently) to sell books. Instead, he learned to accept what had happened, and lived with it until he died in 1996. His relationship with his mother was worse; she also disapproved C.R. marrying his cousin. After A.A. Milne died in 1956, C.R. had almost no contact with his mother until she died fifteen years later. C.R.'s only child, his daughter, Claire, was born with Cerebral Palsy. She died in 2012, at age 56.
- GoofsOne of the players in the costume parade is identified as "Queen Elizabeth the First". At the time, she was the only Queen Elizabeth.
- Quotes
Daphne Milne: You know what writing a book against war is like? It's like writing a book against Wednesdays. Wednesdays... are a fact of life, and if you don't like them, you could just stay in bed, but you can't stop them because Wednesdays are coming and if today isn't actually a Wednesday it soon will be.

REVIEW - GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN
Honestly didn't know what to expect when I went to see this film. As its based (loosely) around the creation of the Winnie The Poo stories I thought it was going to be a children's film but.......
The film itself is actually and surprising very good, touching on the family dynamic of the upper classes during the 1930s to 1940s.
Very stand offish parents who seem to care about their social standing rather than their son (Christopher Robin) and how this impacts on all of their lives.
Looking at how one person can force the hand of another, in this case forcing father and son to actually spend time together and bond.
Lessons can be learnt from this film, no matter how much you work, your children want you.
Thoroughly enjoyable film on many levels.
Rating 10 out of 10
