Ewan McGregor Brings Winnie The Pooh To Life In Christopher Robin Teaser

The boy from Winnie the Pooh is all grown up and he looks a lot like the guy from Trainspotting.

Disney revealed the first teaser for Christopher Robin starring Ewan McGregor as the adult version of Pooh's best human friend, and it seems engineered to maximize the warm and fuzzies.

The movie catches up with Christopher Robin long after his adventures with Pooh, but life outside of the Hundred Acre Wood is much more complicated. Now a World War II veteran, he works for a company that sells luggage and lives with his wife (Hayley Atwell) and young daughter. However, his boss (Mark Gatiss) isn't making things easy for him. That's where Christopher Robin's old stuffed pals come in.

Here's the official synopsis: "In the heartwarming Christopher Robin, the young boy who embarked on countless adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood with his band of spirited and lovable stuffed animals, has grown up and lost his way. 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."

Directed by Marc Forster (Finding Neverland), Christopher Robin looks a little reminiscent of Steven Spielberg's 1991 classic Hook, which centers on a grown-up Peter Pan, but mixed with a little Drop Dead Fred.

"The movie is so full of joy and emotion and also of scenes that I think are very timely," Forster told Entertainment Weekly. "[Pooh] is still as relevant today as he's ever been. Perhaps even more so."

The all-star voice cast includes longtime Pooh actor Jim Cummings as Winnie the Pooh, Chris O'Dowd (Bridesmaids) as Tigger, Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond) as Eeyore, Toby Jones (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) as Owl, Nick Mohammed (The Martian) as Piglet, Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who) as Rabbit, and Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda) as Kanga. 

Christopher Robin will arrive in theaters on Aug. 3. Check out the poster below.
