History YMMV / ChristopherRobin

* CatharsisFactor: When Christopher Robin gives Winslow Jr. a family friendly ReasonYouSuckSpeech.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Let's all be honest here - ''no one'' saw this movie for Creator/EwanMcGregor or his human co-stars (bar dedicated fans of Creator/HayleyAtwell), the established ''Winnie The Pooh'' characters just being here and themselves is the reason anyone is drawn to this movie.

* {{Narm}}: Christopher Robin's speech in the boardroom can come across as unintentionally funny at parts, since he says 'Woozles' and 'sometimes doing nothing can lead to the best of something' in a completely serious context, with it played as an epic moment of standing up for himself. Of course, this could also qualify as NarmCharm.

* BrokenAesop: A common criticism of the film is aimed at the flawed message of not letting work and life get in the way of spending time with your family and friends. Christopher Robin is clearly meant, on paper, to be portrayed as a sort of deadbeat husband and father and a workaholic. However, it’s made abundantly clear that if he doesn’t work through the weekend, a lot of people will lose their jobs thanks to his boss who’s eager to cut them; Christopher isn’t neglecting his family out of selfishness, but because he ''is'' so selfless and wants to save his coworkers, not to mention his own income for his wife and daughter. While he clearly has a history of having to break promises to spend time with his family, it’s clear he’s not doing it out of genuine neglect; therefore the intended message of not working too much comes off as unhelpful given Christopher’s situation.

* 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" is about as tall as his knee height; hey, it would have been a ''lot'' deeper to a child.

** Given that the Disney cartoons typically set things in some type of American type setting, many people would find it surprising that this movie is on the London area. This is a callback to how the original books are also set in the London area, but adaptation displacement is at play since the Pooh animated projects are more well known than the books they're based on.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: There was quite a bit 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.

* CriticalDissonance: A mild case; the film has a mixed-to-positive critical reception (70% on Website/RottenTomatoes), but a strong 89% audience approval rating.

** This isn't the first time we see Pooh and friends in live-action form with a real-world setting. Back in 2011, to promote the release of ''Disney/WinnieThePooh'', Disney made a series of 7 shorts called ''A Winnie The Pooh Smackerel'', which features [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbGqaexHu6Q Pooh]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc5XriqD5PY and friends doing cute and fun things]], and before that, there was ''Series/TheBookOfPooh'', a preschool series that depicts the Hundred Acre Wood gang as Jim Henson-esque puppets.

* UncannyValley: Some people feel CGI Pooh looks... too creepy (his mouth hardly even moves in sync with his lines). May also count as UglyCute, though. Especially when compared to Creator/SethMacFarlane's ''Film/{{Ted}}'' in which the CGI stuffed bear was much more fluent and realistic.

* MostWonderfulSound: Pooh's voice, provided by Jim Cummings himself. There was also a lot of rejoicing when Cummings was confirmed to voice Tigger in the second trailer.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Let's all be honest here - ''no one'' saw this movie for Creator/EwanMcGregor or his human co-stars, the established ''Winnie The Pooh'' characters just being here and themselves is the reason anyone is drawn to this movie.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: There was quite a bit of negative reception to Chris O’Dowd being cast as Tigger over Jim Cummings, 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.

** Ewan [=McGregor=] 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 ''[[NamesTheSame 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.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Let's all be honest here - ''no one'' saw this movie for Ewan McGregor or his human co-stars, the established ''Winnie The Pooh'' characters just being here and themselves is the reason anyone is drawn to this movie.
* LoveToHate: Giles Winslow Jr. is a [[ManChild childish]], [[EvilIsPetty petty]], [[NeverMyFault irresponsible]], [[ManipulativeBastard emotionally and mentally manipulative]] JerkAss with a [[SmugSnake smug]] attitude and simpering smirks to rival [[HarryPotter Dolores Umbridge]], making him probably the most loathsome antagonist to pop up in anything ''Winnie The Pooh'' related (in addition to being the only human antagonist in the series' history), but Creator/MarkGatiss performs the part so well that he's as enjoyable to watch as he is insufferable.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Besides Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore, the other residents of the Hundred Acre Wood don’t get much screen time or focus. Kanga especially feels underutilized given that she's also a parent and could've bonded more with Christopher Robin over it.

* {{Narm}}: Christopher Robin's speech in the boardroom can come across as unintentionally funny at parts, since he says 'Woozles' and 'sometimes doing nothing can lead to the best of something' in a completely serious context, with it played as an epic moment of standing up for himself.
* NightmareFuel: Christopher Robin [[spoiler:getting himself lost deep in the 100 Acre Wood after his fight with Pooh]] makes the movie take a sudden turn into horror. Christopher even [[spoiler:believes they're Hefflalumps chasing after him, falls into a pit purposed to trap Heffalumps and gets knocked unconcious by a stray rock and almost drowns when the pit gets filled with rainwater]].

* HellIsThatNoise: The "Heffalump" roar. You truly can't blame any of them for being so afraid of it.
