Christopher Robin teaser: Winnie The Pooh reunites with his old friend in new Disney film starring Ewan McGregor

Disney has dropped its first teaser for Christopher Robin, starring Ewan McGregor. The Christopher Robin teaser finds that the young boy who embarked on numerous adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood with his lovable group of stuffed animal friends, is now all grown up and has seemingly lost his sense of imagination after having become a boring old businessman. So, it is up to Pooh Bear and his other childhood friends to help him find the magic in the world and discover the child still inside him.
