Christopher Robin - Writing a Letter

Writing a letter in Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You

Christopher Robin is one of Winnie the Pooh's best friends (the other one being Piglet) and owner in the Pooh series and a good friend to all of the creatures within the Hundred Acre Woods. He is named after Christopher Robin Milne, the son of Pooh creator A.A. Milne. Christopher Robin is an imaginative and adventurous young boy who is also a very loyal friend. He was a key part of the classic Pooh storybooks and also featured in many stories and films of the Pooh television series and movies. In Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin, Christopher Robin revealed that he had started attending school and so he wouldn't be able to see Pooh and the others as often, though he promised to visit them wherever he could.

Christopher Robin is almost always referred to by the full name of "Christopher Robin Milne", though on rare occasions, the characters have been known to call him simply "Christopher." Many of the stories in the Pooh series open in Christopher Robin's Room and some even take place primarily in it.

Winnie the Pooh (2011 film)[]

Christopher Robin wrote a note saying "Be Back Soon" with "Back Soon" misspelled as "Backson." Later he returns and explains to his friends that he was at school and not kidnapped by a Backson.

Christopher Robin (2018 film)[]

Christopher Robin said goodbye to his friends because he had to go to boarding school, which he was later expelled from for not being on task in class.

When he grew up he got married to a woman named Evelyn, had a daughter named Madeline, and was drafted in World War II. He worked for a luggage company whose boss asked him to work that weekend even though his family was going to Sussex.

He was reunited with Winnie the Pooh who needed his help to find his friends. He hopped on a train to Sussex where he looked for his old friends in the Hundred Acre Wood, which was supposedly invaded by Heffalumps. He tells Winnie the Pooh that Heffalumps are not real. He discovers that his old friends were in a log and that the Heffalump noises were actually an old weather vane. He battles an imaginary Heffalump and his friends emerge from the log. He stumbles upon his family’s country home. His wife wants an explanation but he goes back to London.

He goes to his company’s meeting and discovers that his papers are missing. A woman tells him that there is an issue concerning him outside the meeting. He leaves the meeting to find Madeline who came to London with his old friends to give him his papers. As he is driving a car with his wife his old friends appear on the car window. His wife is confused but he says that he will explain the situation later. His old friends hop in the car and say hi to his wife, who is surprised that they can talk and is scared of their ability to do so.

Soon he finds Madeline who loses all of his papers but one. He discovers that he only needed the one she saved. So he goes to the meeting and suggests that they make their luggage cheaper so the working middle class could afford to go on more holidays. He also calls his boss a Woozle because he lied about what he was doing that weekend and made all of his employees do his work for him.

Finally, he and his family go to Sussex to visit his old friends. He and Winnie the Pooh talk in private.

Kingdom Hearts[]

Christopher Robin is completely absent from the Kingdom Hearts series. Instead, Sora seems to fill his role as a loyal human friend for Pooh, though, like Christopher Robin, Sora has other responsibilities that prevent him from paying more than brief visits to Pooh. Pooh tries to find a way to keep Sora from leaving the Wood, but Sora helps him to see that he will always have a place in his heart.
