The Hollywood Reporter has brought word that Christopher Robin, Walt Disney Pictures‘ latest installment in the long-running fan-favorite Winnie the Pooh franchise, was not approved by China’s film authorities for release.
Ewan McGregor (Beauty and the Beast, T2 Trainspotting) stars in the movie as the adult Christopher Robin.
This will be the second Disney film this year to get no China release after A Wrinkle in Time, and the studio is still scheduled to release Ant-Man and The Wasp in China on August 24.
Now it is up to his childhood friends to venture into our world and help Christopher Robin remember the loving and playful boy who is still inside.
