Christopher Robin
Disney ’s Christopher Robinbrings Winnie the Pooh , Tigger , Piglet , Eeyore , and the other beloved animal house physician of the Hundred Acre Wood to life history in live - action for the first time - and it even go the extra nautical mile by include an additional vista in the midsection of the destruction credits .
While it took a while for the Mouse House ’s live - actionWinnie the Poohmovie to get an official statute title , the plan was always for the film to focus on an adult version of Pooh ’s human companion , Christopher Robin ( a part that Ewan McGregor eventually signed on to play ) . Indie filmmaker Alex Ross Perry ( Listen Up Philip , Queen of Earth ) was hired to compose the movie in 2015 , though the screenplay was later rework by Oscar - winner Tom McCarthy ( Spotlight ) and Oscar - campaigner Allison Schroeder ( Hidden Figures ) . Director Marc Forster ofMonster ’s BallandFinding Neverlandfame boarded the labor in 2016 and production got underway less than a class after that .

Forster ’s Winnie the Pooh movie differs from other late live - action re - imaginings of Disney ’s animated classics and not just in the signified that it ’s unfeignedly a sequel more than a remake : Christopher Robinalso admit a mid - credits shot , unlike 2017’sBeauty and the BeastorThe Jungle Bookthe year before that . However , rather than teasing a future dangerous undertaking with Pooh and friends , the credits sequence serves as more of a playful bookend to the rest of the film .

TheChristopher Robinmid - deferred payment scene offer a follow-up to the film ’s climax , where Christopher confronts his bosses at Winslow Luggage . While the society ’s head want to fire several employee as a cost - cut measure , Christopher recommends that they instead reduce the cost of their baggage , give their employee paid time off , and trade their production to workings - class people ( rather than only the moneyed ) , as a mean value of increasing demand . Winslow Sr . , the head of the company , approves of the idea and , thus , the mid - credit entry prospect shows Winslow ’s employee on vacation at the beach and trip the light fantastic while a piano player do the tune " fussy Doing Nothing " .
Of naturally , the piano player is an Easter Egg himself ; namely , he ’s Richard M. Sherman , the fabled Disney songster who , alongside his late pal Robert , wrote the music for many a Mouse House animise classic , including 1977’sMany Adventures of Winnie the Pooh . Sherman in reality wrote " Busy Doing Nothing " , as well as " Christopher Robin " , which plays over the rest of the credit , making this cameo extra especial .
This is also the sequence wherethe image of Pooh and his sidekick sunbathing- which has been a salient aspect of the motion picture ’s merchandising - comes from . It might not set the phase for a continuation , but it ’s a funny payoff to the unexpected ( but efficient ) critique of capitalist economy inChristopher Robin ’s third bit .
