I heard about this rare Pooh story where Christopher Robin grows up and he forgets all about poor Pooh and all of his stuffed animal friends. They say it's a very sad story.
That's bullock. Sure, in real life, CR tries to forget how his father used him as his way to get famous, but in the animated world, CR still cares deeply for his stuffed managerie.

For some reason I have heard of this too.

Bah... that's as phoney as the Doraemon "ending" that was a knockoff of St. Elsewhere..... If they had something in a book, or at least a short story by A.A. Milne, I'd see it./.. but it sounds hokey to me.

That said, I still wanna find out where I can here Jim Cummings's Dick Dastardly... Somehow, i'd figure Charles Adler would be the replacement....

Well, the real Christopher Robin himself wrote a book on how he fruitlessly tried to escape his childhood fame (The Enchanted Places gave an account of his childhood and of the problems that he had encountered because of the Pooh books). Incidentally, in many a writers' collumns following his death, the following was noted:

...The real Christopher, only hinted at in Us Two and Market Square, remained unfamiliar and unrecognised, though burdened with the fame that rested uneasily on his reluctant shoulders. By making him a household name in millions of homes throughout the world, A. A. Milne had "filched from me my good name and had left me with nothing but the empty fame of being his son."

It is painful to imagine what the world will be like without Christopher Milne, but Christopher Robin of the stories and verses will live on in the homes of countless generations of millions of families the world over for all time. He would prefer to be remembered as Christopher Milne to a few close friends, rather than as Christopher Robin to the rest of the world.

"So they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on top of the Forest, a little boy and his bear will always be playing."


And ironically, despite her father wanting to escape his fame, it is Clare Milne, Christopher's daughter, who is often in an off-and-on legal battle between Disney, the Sleishingers (American distributors), and the Milne estate (which Clare owns).
