The casts put up an amazing performance and played their role masterfully. Will Tilston as the young Christopher Robin is especially eye-catching as audiences may laugh and sob because of him. This movie could be better if more screen time was spent on the life story of A.A.Milne. It will allow the audience to feel more engaged with his character.
