Disney has released the teaser trailer for their next live-action project, “Christopher Robin,” which stars Ewan McGregor as the former child resident of the Hundred Acre Wood who has lost his way.
In the teaser, we see Christopher Robin working at a luggage company in postwar London under a demanding boss (Mark Gatiss) that forces him to cancel his weekend outing with his wife and daughter (Hayley Atwell and Bronte Carmichael). Feeling burnt out, Christopher Robin gets the shock of his life when he’s visited by Winnie the Pooh (played by longtime voice actor Jim Cummings), who has traveled from the Hundred Acre Wood to England to help his old friend reconnect with his inner child.
Marc Forster directed the film from a screenplay by Alex Ross Perry and Allison Schroeder. The film’s voice cast also includes 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.
“Christopher Robin” hits theaters August 3. Watch the teaser trailer above.
