Voice cast

Production

Development

On April 2, 2015, Walt Disney Pictures announced that a live-action adaptation based on the characters from the Winnie the Pooh franchise was in development which would take a similar pattern to 2010's Alice in Wonderland, 2014's Maleficent, and 2015's Cinderella. Alex Ross Perry was hired to write the script and Brigham Taylor hired to produce the film, about an adult Christopher Robin returning to the Hundred Acre Wood to spend time with Pooh and the gang.[4] On November 18, 2016, it was reported that the studio had hired Marc Forster to direct the film, titled Christopher Robin, and the project would have "strong elements of magical realism as it seeks to tell an emotional journey with heartwarming adventure."[5] On March 1, 2017, Tom McCarthy was hired to rewrite the existing screenplay.[6]

Casting

On April 26, 2017, Ewan McGregor was announced to play the title character while Allison Schroeder was recruited to do additional work on the script.[7][8] On June 22, 2017, it was revealed that Gemma Arterton had been in negotiations to portray the wife of the title character but, ultimately, she passed on the role.[9] In August and September 2017, Hayley Atwell and Mark Gatiss were cast as Evelyn, Christopher Robin's wife and Giles Winslow, Christopher Robin's boss, while Brad Garrett and Nick Mohammed were cast as Eeyore and Piglet with Jim Cummings reprising his roles as both Winnie the Pooh and Tigger.[2][10][11][12] In January 2018, Peter Capaldi, Sophie Okonedo and Toby Jones were cast as Rabbit, Kanga and Owl respectively. Chris O'Dowd was originally announced as the voice of Tigger, but later stepped down from the role and was replaced by Jim Cummings.[13]

Filming

Principal photography on the film began in early August 2017, in the United Kingdom,[14][15][9] and concluded in November 2017.[16]

Music

Jóhann Jóhannsson was hired to score the film, shortly before his death on February 9, 2018.[17] As of March 6, Klaus Badelt became attached as the film's composer, but was ultimately replaced by Jon Brion.[18] At an Academy event, songwriter and Disney Legend Richard Sherman revealed that he was working on three new songs for the film, and that it would also feature the iconic song "Winnie the Pooh".[19]

Visual effects

Visual effects studios Framestore and Method Studios, are leading the animation for the Hundred Acre Wood characters, with Overall Vfx Supervisor Chris Lawrence and Animation Supervisor Michael Eames leading the teams.[20]

Christopher Robin is scheduled to be released on August 3, 2018 by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.[21]

Marketing

The first teaser poster of the film was released on March 5, 2018,[22] and the first teaser trailer was unveiled the following day.[23]

On May 24, 2018, it was announced that the full trailer would premiere the following day during McGregor's appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.[24]
