ABOUT GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN:
GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN gives a rare glimpse into the relationship between beloved children's author A. A. Milne (Domhnall Gleeson) and his son
Christopher Robin (Will Tilston), whose toys inspired the magical world of Winnie-the-Pooh. Along with his mother Daphne (Margot Robbie), and his nanny Olive (Kelly Macdonald),
Christopher Robin and his family are swept up in the international success of the books; the enchanting tales bringing hope and comfort to England after the First World War. But with the eyes of the world on
Christopher Robin, what will the cost be to the family?

Carter Burwell said about the score:
"One of the riskier decisions
Simon Curtis and I made with the score was to withhold the main theme until the middle of the film, when A. A. Milne begins to write and his friend Ernest Shepard begins to illustrate "Winnie The Pooh". We did this to make that moment especially noteworthy, to make it the turning point of the story. Before that point, the music plays many things - the trauma of war, the transition from city to country life, the awkward relations between
Christopher Robin and his parents. But then Pooh changes everything."
