Christopher Robin Milne Christopher Robin Milne Christopher Robin Milne (21 August 1920 – 20 April 1996) was an English bookseller and the only son of author A. A. Milne. As a child, he was the basis of the character Christopher Robin in his father's Winnie-the-Pooh stories and in two books of poems. Christopher Robin Milne was born at 11 Mallord Street, Chelsea, London, on 21 August 1920, to author Alan Alexander Milne and Daphne ("née" de Sélincourt) Milne. Milne speculates that he was an only child because "he had been a long time coming." From an early age Milne was cared for by
Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day later in 1974, was nominated for the same Academy Award, but lost to "Closed Mondays".) The animated featurette also served as an inspiration for the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride in Walt Disney World in which the rider experiences several scenes from the cartoon, including Pooh's Heffalump and Woozle dream. The film's plot is based primarily on seven A. A. Milne stories: "In which Eeyore finds the Wolery and Owl moves into it" (Chapter IX from "The House at Pooh Corner") "In which Tigger comes to the forest and has breakfast" (Chapter II from "The House at Pooh
