 (The 7th Level) | Christopher
Robin (1965)
Animal
Outfit: Blue shorts / Yellow shirt / Red sneakers/sandals Tagline: "Silly old bear!" Plot summary: The character of Christopher Robin was based on Christopher Robin Milne, the son of A. A. Milne, the author of the books upon which Disney's Winnie the Pooh movies are based. He was a bashful, shy boy who kept to himself. He had few friends, preferring to play with the imaginary friends he'd based upon his beloved stuffed animals. His adventures with Pooh, Tigger and the rest were the inspiration for his father's classic tales.
The animated Christopher Robin was a tad bit different. He was more outward, and a hardy adventurer, always on the lookout for fun and excitement, whenever he could find it; almost a Pan-like character, and the Hundred Acre Wood was his Neverland. In each adventure where Christopher was featured, he acted as a wise mentor to the bewildered Pooh, offering advice, comfort and love to his precious friends. (more) User Comments: Chris's parents must have been dirt poor, because he wore the same clothes to the Hundred Acre Wood every day. But even these clothes are far better than what he wore in the illustrations of his father's books. You see, A. A.'s wife wanted a daughter. When Christopher was born with wavy blonde hair, she neglected to cut it for many years and dressed her son in decidedly feminine outfits. This is why Robin appears to be wearing dresses in many of the original illustrations. Disney butched him up quite a bit, but the essential pansy nature of Chris still shines through in the fact that he's at least seven to eight years of age in the Disney films, and yet his best friend is a STUFFED BEAR. Of course, it was all his mother's fault. Had my mother dressed me in girl's clothes for half of my childhood, I'd probably love stuffed bears and trouncing around in a yellow rain slicker mumbling "Tut tut, I think I'm gay" too.
