Added DiffLines:

** The same could be said for ''Film/ReturnToOz'' or Tim Burton’s ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010'', which sees the Hundred Acre Wood turned into a dark, bleak place compared to its original glory.
** The film can also be seen as the true successor to ''Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin''. Both films contend with the concept of Christopher Robin growing up and its effect on his childhood friends he has to leave behind, but whereas ''Pooh's Grand Adventure'' mostly focused on whether Pooh and friends would be able to live their lives without Christopher and their immediate reaction to the prospects of it, this film shows the long-term consequences of the inevitable head-on.

* SpiritualSuccessor:
** To ''Film/{{Hook}}'', a story about a hero who once explored a fantastical world as a young boy, then decided to leave it and grow up in the normal world while missing out on his kids' childhoods. Said hero is pushed to recover his once-vivid imagination to overcome obstacles. Moreover, ''Christopher Robin'' is a movie sequel to a beloved classic work of children literature.

Critical contrast is not strong enough to justify an example.


* CriticalDissonance: The film has a mixed-to-positive critical reception (71% on Website/RottenTomatoes), but a strong 89% audience approval rating.



** Creator/EwanMcGregor wasn't [[Creator/DomhnallGleeson the first]] ''Franchise/StarWars'' actor to appear in a [[Film/PeterRabbit 2018 live-action/CGI hybrid film featuring talking animals and based on a beloved classic UK children's book series]], and both films have had mixed-to-positive critical reception. What makes it especially hilarious is the fact that Domnhall Gleeson also starred in a biopic of A.A. Milne, released the previous year, titled ''Film/GoodbyeChristopherRobin,'' and the character he portrayed in ''Peter Rabbit'' was named ''[=McGregor=].'' In addition, while Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor doesn't play [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Obi-Wan Kenobi]], this could be the closest thing we get to a buddy movie with Obi-Wan and Hondo Ohnaka, considering Creator/JimCummings voices Hondo and both Tigger and Pooh.

** In 2014, there was a [[https://www.mirf.ru/fun/funny/vinni-puh-dusherazdirayuschee-zrelische/ Russian joke article]] about what a movie might be like with a grown-up Robin who had forgotten his friends. Admittedly, it's a bit DarkerAndEdgier that the movie would be, and also strongly influenced by the [[Animation/VinniPukh Soviet adaptation]], but the basic idea is there.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Christopher Robin reunites with Eeyore as the donkey is floating down a river, at first it's played very seriously as Eeyore floats closer and closer to the impending waterfall and remakes that he'll 'be gone soon' and 'no one will notice'. Then Christopher jumps in to save his old friend and it turns out the water is ankle deep and the "waterfall" goes up to his knees; hey, it would have been a ''lot'' deeper to a child.

YMMV tropes can't be played with. Also Word Cruft (this example is an example).


* CommonKnowledge: Due to it being a live action film based off of an animated Disney work, the film is often grouped alongside the other Film/DisneyLiveActionRemakes, despite the fact that the film isn't a remake of any existing Pooh story, but an original story that acts as a DistantSequel to the animated ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' films
* CriticalDissonance: A [[DownplayedTrope mild]] case; the film has a mixed-to-positive critical reception (71% on Website/RottenTomatoes), but a strong 89% audience approval rating.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Christopher's solution of paying the employees more and giving them vacation days models Henry Ford's decision to pay his workers well enough that they could buy the cars they were making. It's good marketing! And for Christopher, it's an opportunity to be kind.

Requires Word Of God confirmation


* AuthorsSavingThrow: There was a lot of negative reception to Creator/ChrisODowd being cast as Tigger over Creator/JimCummings, especially after the teaser trailer earned widespread acclaim for having Cummings reprise his role as Pooh. When the second trailer arrived, it was revealed that Cummings is indeed voicing Tigger, to many people’s delight.
