Ewan McGregor, Hayley Atwell, and Jim Cummings star with some familiar furry friends in “Christopher Robin”

A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh and friends will return this summer in a hybrid live action and animated drama, Christopher Robin. Don’t confuse this coming film with last year’s Goodbye, Christopher Robin, which starred Margot Robbie, Domhnall Gleeson, and Kelly Macdonald. Directed by Quantum Solace director Marc Forster, this new film actually features Winnie the Pooh and friends, along with a great cast of genre favorites: Ewan McGregor (Star Wars series, Brassed Off) as A.A. Milne’s son Christopher Robin Milne, plus Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Doctor Who), Hayley Atwell (Marvel Cinematic Universe), and Bronte Carmichael (Darkest Hour), and voicing the classic characters, Jim Cummings as Pooh and Tigger, Peter Capaldi as Rabbit, Toby Jones as Owl, Sophie Okonado as Kanga, Nick Mohammed as Piglet, and Brad Garrett as Eeyore.

When you listen to the voices of the famous furry friends from the Hundred Acre Wood, you may be surprised at the familiarity of the voices. Actor Jim Cummings has been voicing Winnie the Pooh in animated films for 30 years, and he and the rest of the cast echo the voices in the classic Disney film The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, which premiered 41 years ago on March 11, 1977. Back then Sterling Holloway created the familiar voice of Pooh fans think of today, Paul Winchell voiced Tigger, and Clint Howard (now playing in Solo: A Star Wars Story) was the voice of Roo (and Sebastian Cabot served as narrator).

Many of the visual effects come from Framestore, an effects company that has worked on several films with creatures and humans mixed together, including Rocket in Guardians of the Galaxy, the sorcery sparks of Doctor Strange, the Hulk in Thor: Ragnarok, the other superheroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Avengers: Infinity War, Colossus in Deadpool 2, the beasts in the Fantastic Beasts series, the future cities in Blade Runner 2049 (where the firm picked up an Academy Award), and magical things in the approaching Mary Poppins Returns movie.

This latest version of Pooh and Friends appears closer to the Peter Pan tie-in movie Hook–with an adult taking the lead role instead of kids–than previous Pooh incarnations. Take a look at a very happy trailer for Christopher Robin:
