In the latest featurette from Disney’sChristopher Robin, Ewan McGregor sits down with his animated co-stars to get some real answers about starring in the film together. The behind-the-scenes featurette is titled Welcome to the Hundred Actor Wood and it’s a humorous bit of promotional material for the upcoming movie, which hits theaters on August 3rd. Disney fans have already had their hearts melted by the recently released trailers and TV spots, so it’s nice to get in some extra laughs beforeChristopher Robinhits theaters.
Ewan McGregorstarts hisChristopher Robininterview off withWinnie the Poohand asks him if he’s anything like his character on the big screen. Pooh is clearly confused and asks, “like who? What was the question again? I was thinking about lunch.” Next up is Piglet who reveals that he just says yes to everything as to not offend anyone, which is perfect for his character and makes it easy to see why he and Winnie the Pooh are such good friends.
Next up in theChristopher Robininterviews, Ewan McGregor asks Tiger about his motivation and how he finds it. Tiger is very matter of fact about his answer when he says, “you gotta think like a Tiger, act like Tiger, and it helps to be a Tiger,” which throws McGregor off guard. However, the most surpising part of the interview series comes from Eeyore, who claims that his onscreen character is much happier than he is in real life. Eeyore says that is character is all laughs in his deadpan voice.
