Winnie The Pooh (2011)

The lowest grossing Winnie the Pooh film to date. Despite mostly positive reviews from critics, the film underperformed at the box office, mainly due to releasing the same day as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011), which grossed a lot higher than Winnie the Pooh (2011) did.

Seven years after Winnie the Pooh (2011), the film business had transformed into a different world. Life-action remakes were the name of the game as far as Disney was concerned, and Pooh could not be spared that. The new Christopher Robin (2018) stars Ewan McGregor as a grown-up C. Robin, and the film works as a direct sequel to the two books by A.A. Milne, which end with Christopher going off to Boarding School. Flash forward 20 years and Robin (McGregor) has a wife and daughter and he is all work, no play. Pooh and the Hundred Acre Wood are forgotten.

I disagree. I think they knew who they were making this film for and it wasn't for the kids. They advertised to the adults because that's who will go see it. Like you mentioned, kids want to go see Cars 2 and comic book heros. I am a HUGE fan of the HP series and have been looking forward to it. Last week I spent my evenings re-watching movies 1-7. Yet, before I'm going to see the last installment, I am going with my friends to see Winnie the Pooh. I'm in my early 20s, so I grew up watching TV series, and when I saw the commercials on tv, my heart melted and knew that I was going to see that movie, not just plan to see it. The teeny boppers don't want to see pooh, they have no connection to it. And let's be honest, Disney's animated movies are successful because they make movies that the adults want to see, not just kids. Re-watch a few, you'll be surprised on how many jokes there are that went over your head as a kid. You'd be shocked at how many twenty somethings have the disney classics in their movie collections. Don't ever doubt the fervent love and devotion that generation has for disney.
