    Thanks for watching and liking, guys! :) I have some notes after reading your responses!
    1. SORRY I mispronounced "Cambridge;" I've honestly never heard someone say the name out loud (prolly because I'm uncultured) and went with a midwest US pronunciation :|
    2. The jump cuts were the most efficient way to tell this story from a production standpoint. If you're not a fan of the style I apologize, but considering how much information I would have had to memorize to avoid the jump cutting and how long the recording process would have taken... I have no regrets.
    3. Some people were annoyed I was calling Christopher Robin "CR"... I thought this would be less annoying than repeating "Christopher Robin" 200 times, but some guy said he gave me a thumbs down for it... Idk man you can't please everybody ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯
    Appreciate all your love and support! Now I've gotta ask... are you excited for the Christopher Robin movie? :)

      Incest used to be pretty normal back then, royal families around the north, and in places like Egypt, nobles wanted to keep the bloodline “pure.” It is pretty sick. Inbreeding can cause genetic based recessive disorders, and fluctuating facial asymmetry it can even cause loss of immune system functions, and increase cardiovascular risks. So basically if you don’t wanna end up babysitting a vegetable don’t roll around in the sheets with your family members.😉

    His father was pretty damn smart actually if you think about it, as an adult we cannot just magically remember what it was like exactly to think as a child, so a lot of stuff we create may not be appreciated by children, so his technique of essentially learning from his son's fantasy world games and using that as stories for his book was very smart, since it's from the mind of a little boy's fantasy imagination, it's obviously going to be enjoyed and understood by other little boys and girls also.

    As much as I feel sorry for Christopher Robin, I do think the Pooh Stories were a healing method for his father. His father was in both wars and the First World War especially messed him up as it did to so many men. I’m glad he wrote the stories which children and adults alike treasure and still read and watch to this very day. This series is one of my all time story series, it’s simplistic and compelling and the vibes it gives off is one of love and cheer.

      Speaking as someone with this condition, Cerebral Palsy isn’t hereditary, it’s basically a brain injury occurring during or after birth due to various different complications (e.g a bleed on the brain, or lack of oxygen). “Inbreeding” wouldn’t have caused the disability itself, but I’m not sure if it would have had an impact on the development of the foetus or early pregnancy.

    • @zedek_
      @zedek_ Před 5 lety +18

      That he was bullied as a child was sad.
      The resentment he felt as an adult is absolutely whiny and ridiculous, especially when he says he enjoyed the fame as a child. Boohoo, his dad stood on his shoulders, and somehow robbed him the ability to make a name for himself? How?!
      He's still free to go make something of himself. The fact of the matter is, like most people, Christopher Robin would likely not have amounted to much beyond being a regular salaryman. His current position of fame actually makes it easier for him to go make something of himself.
      So for me, I guess it is sad, but more because I always thought of Christopher Robin as a sweet person, rather than someone who whines and self-victimizes as an adult.

    I'm not saying Christopher Robin didn't have any troubles, it sounds like he did, but what was so sad about it? He seemed to have a decent life, and aside from bullies/low self esteem (which wasn't made out to be that bad here), his story's not sad. He must have been frustrated of being in his father's shadow, and maybe I just missed something, but I'm not following the video and everyone in the comments saying CR had a sad life. If you thought differently, please enlighten me.
    Certainly didn't need to heed Jon's warning about needing tissues, haha.

I think he snuck him in his trunk or something. Anyway, the bear became the mascot of their platoon, but he was forced by the higher ups to donate him to the zoo, because apparently you can’t have a bear in the trenches at Ypres.

    Anyway, Pooh was one of my childhood. Pooh, Pokemon, Barbie, Disney Princesses, Teen titans (and other things that i forgot about and other things i remembered but is lazy to type all of it.) were my bloody childhood!! And when i saw this video. My heart just broke of how sad and miserable CR Milne is!
    A beautiful book with a shadowy past :(
    If only the people who bullies him would be reversed. They should compliment him for being part of a beautiful and rich book. Heck, maybe the bullies' who bullied CRM read the book but doesn't want to admit it. Or the bullies' great grand kids watched Pooh. Or the bullies are just jealous cause CRM is getting richer and richer everyday!

      it hasn't been a taboo for that long,

      marrying your cousin hasn't been a taboo for long
      even today most religious groups allow it, with only laws of the land and recent social changes making it taboo
      it's not particularly uncommon, and emotions tend not to have a built in mechanism of saying relative = bad

    It's a damn shame to think that boy got bullied over being the inspiration for the most famous children's cartoon of all time. If those brats were only here today to see what it's turned in to. Several entire generations grew up being entertained by Pooh and his friends. And I don't know why, but when I listen to the song return to Pooh Corner from loggins, it gets me choked up, teary-eyed. I believe it to be the pure love that c.r. experienced alongside his friends and the overwhelming thought that it's only a fairy tale.. children don't get to experience that kind of life, with pooh, eeore and so on. Our imagination is robbed from us at such an early age and all of it, the entire world we create simply vanishes, never to have a trace of its existence, and yet, miraculously captured for all of us to share was c.r.'s adventures, and what a lovely story he's created..

    I had a Winnie the Pooh that I carried around everywhere when I was a child and I still love Winnie the Pooh lot of good memories.

      What I hate about that are:
      Pooh bear's gluttony and is just like America and Israel who loot, pillage but in Pooh bear's case, honey in everyone's home and the bees.
      Piglet who is a coward and inadvertently causes trouble and not to mention kidnapping Roo and posing as Roo at Rabbit's behest as well as goes along with Pooh bear no matter how wrong or how silly he is.
      Tigger who never listens to reason and just jumps into conclusion.
      Rabbit? While I understand why he's so quick to anger, but sometimes his things just goes out of bounds.

      Maybe to you, but sometimes it's best you see things from a different perspective.

      You gave a political, completely unrelated, negative perspective just for the sake of doing it, like some redditor.
