The anticipation of a thing is often more exciting than the thing itself. Disney — in particular — does its darndest to achieve high-energy hype for its films as they prepare to hit theaters.
Christopher Robin, set to make its official debut in the United States on August 3, is the latest on that illustrious list, and Disney fans young and old are excited to see the live-action antics of some of animations most cherished characters.
Yesterday, the movie’s lead (human) actors, Hayley Atwell and Ewan McGregor, aswered Twitter questions in the lead up to the Christopher Robin premiere:

Just before his own interview alongside Atwell, MacGregor “interviewed” the rest of the cast:

In my neck of the woods, there are showings on Thursday evening, Aug. 2! So, you can look for a review shortly thereafter…
But in the interim, tell us: Are you excited for Christopher Robin? Will you got to see it this weekend?
