Banned Book Movie: “Winnie the Pooh”

Explore, Watch, and Discuss

Many different iterations of Pooh have been banned or challenged, and for wildly disparate and nonsensical reasons. Most recently the film Christopher Robin — that movie aimed at both children and adults who grew up with the material, was banned in China because some internet trolls compared the beloved bear to the country’s president. The book was banned in Russia in 2009 after a known political extremist was found to have an illustration of Pooh Bear wearing a swastika in his possession. Lest Americans feel left out, a parent group in Kansas set out to ban the beloved book around 2006 because talking animals are a “religious abomination” and an affront to God.”
