Ewan McGregor Stars in Disney's Christopher Robin Trailer


Yesterday saw the release of the first teaser for Mary Poppins Returns, and now Disney has given us a first look at their live-action Winnie the Pooh film, Christopher Robin.

Here's the official synopsis:

In the heartwarming live action adventure "Disney's Christopher Robin," the young boy who embarked on countless adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood with his band of spirited and lovable stuffed animals, has grown up and lost his way. Now it is up to his childhood friends to venture into our world and help Christopher Robin remember the loving and playful boy who is still inside.

Christopher Robin is stuck in a job where he is overworked, underpaid and facing an uncertain future. He has a family of his own, but his work has become his life, leaving little time for his wife and daughter, and he has all but forgotten his idyllic childhood spent with a simple-minded, honey-loving stuffed bear and his friends. But when he is reunited with Winnie the Pooh, now tattered and soiled from years of hugs and play, a spark is rekindled, and he is reminded of the endless days of childlike wonder and make believe that defined his youth, when doing nothing could be considered something. Following an unfortunate mishap with Christopher Robin's briefcase, Pooh and the rest of the gang including Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger, step out of the forest and into London to return the crucial possessions…because best friends will always be there for you.

Ewan McGregor stars as the titular Christopher Robin with Hayley Atwell playing his wife Evelyn. The vice cast includes Jim Cummings as Pooh Bear, Chris O'Dowd as Tigger, Brad Garrett as Eeyore, Toby Jones as Owl, Nick Mohammed as Piglet, Peter Capaldi as Rabbit, and Sophie Okonedo as Kanga.

Though I would have loved to see more of the movie, it's understandable that this is still a teaser. Hopefully we get to see all of the live-action versions of the characters sometime in the middle of the year.

Christopher Robin hits theaters Aug. 3.
