Walt Disney Pictures has released the teaser trailer for Christopher Robin. The film is expected to be released in theaters on August 3, 2018.
The trailer runs just over a minute. The cartoons have historically featured Christopher Robin as a child but Disney is taking the film in a different direction. We’re introduced to Christopher Robin years later as an adult married to Evelyn with a daughter Madeline. He’s lost his sense of imagination so it’s up to the likes of Winnie the Pooh and friends to bring it back.
Marc Forster directs the film from a screenplay written by Alex Ross Perry and Allison Schroeder. The script is based on the characters created by A.A. Milne. Fox Searchlight released a biopic last fall, Goodbye Christopher Robin
, starring Domhnall Gleeson as the late author.
Brigham Taylor and Kristin Burr will produce while Renée Wolfe and Jeremy Johns executive produce. The cast includes Ewan McGregor as Christopher Robin; Hayley Atwell as his wife Evelyn; Bronte Carmichael as his daughter Madeline; and Mark Gatiss as Keith Winslow, Robin’s boss. The film also features the voices of: Jim Cummings as Winnie the Pooh; 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.
