Prior to a film’s release actors and team members usually engage with the press, make appearances on talk shows and also interact with fans on different social media outlets. Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin's best friend, who is also one of the stars of the upcoming film, made his first ever celebrity appearance and interacted with fans on Twitter. Users asked him about his love for honey and whether they could befriend him too. One user even invited him to a tea party!
