Smile with tears, don't forget the original intention

This is a story that leaves fairy tales and returns to reality and embraces fairy tales again.

At the beginning of the film, Robin grows up, leaves the tree hole country, and goes to boarding school. The friends had a farewell party, and Robin told Pooh that the best thing in the world is to have nothing to do, to be happy with nothing, and to do anything with nothing.

But after that, Robin, who grew up after his father's death and even went to war, never had the chance to do nothing again. He finally grew into the adult he hated in the past. He was busy with work and neglected his family. Even the bedside readings for his daughter were history. Book.

In the face of sudden layoffs, Robin had to give up the vacation with his wife and daughter. In the face of his wife's questioning, he said that only by work can he support his family and make the family happy. He also said that he supervises his daughter's studies and sends her to a boarding school to receive a good education in order to have a good job in the future. He said he had come here too, and had forgotten how much he hated boarding school in the past.

The completely realistic Robin forgot his agreement with Pooh, but the cute furry children still guarded the tree hole country, missing Robin and looking forward to the boy's return.

Robin met Pooh who strayed into London because he couldn't find a companion. Although time has passed, Pooh still recognizes Robin when he grows up. There is a bit of wishing you have the same eyebrows here (laughs).

On the way to send Pooh home, Robin turned from irritable to irritable, but Pooh is always the little cutie who silently guards Robin and comforts Robin with his cute theory, he can even send it for a Robin Balloons feel happy.

Robin's experience of returning to Shudong Kingdom can be said to be a small climax of the story. Pooh told Robin that every time Robin came to play, the tree hole country was always sunny, but this time it was rainy. This finally made Robin realize the change in his mood.

In the end, Robin recalled his childhood, and returned to work after reuniting with Pooh and his friends in Shudongguo.

However, when he found out that his daughter was missing, he chose to leave the meeting despite the crisis of being laid off.

Seeing Pooh again in London, Robin's irritability is gone, and there is only the relief of his daughter's loss and the welcome of his old friend.

At the end of the story, Robin remembers that doing nothing is a happy self, and he uses his "child philosophy" to persuade the board of directors to create paid vacations, thereby promoting the sales of suitcases.

The whole film is warm and humorous, with a unique and interesting narrative approach to family and friendship.

There is a small interlude in the film that touched me deeply. Robin grew up to be the head of the luggage manufacturing department, which faced layoffs because of poor sales. But when Robin asked his wife, "Where's my suitcase?", the wife's answer was, "Maybe it hasn't been built yet."

This also reflects from another point that the male protagonist who is busy with work has completely ignored the "family trivia" around him. It was Pooh's arrival that made him realize his mistake.

This movie is suitable for the whole family to watch, it is really a rare family movie. Forget the hustle and bustle of the city, return to the fairy tale kingdom, and pick up the forgotten philosophy of children.

Since the author is reading the original Japanese alphabet in English, there may be some discrepancies in the translation, please forgive me.
