As sweet as honey but without the stickiness, “Christopher Robin” is a gentle delight — for children, and for former children. Like “Paddington 2” earlier this year, and like “Mary Poppins” and so many other movies before it, it takes place in a magical version of England.

After a brief prologue in which young Christopher Robin says goodbye to his beloved stuffed animals — he’s off to boarding school — we zip away from the original time period of the A.A. Milne Winnie-the-Pooh books, and to a grown-up Christopher (Ewan McGregor), a remote husband and father who’s found that life in midcentury London is somewhat more stressful than in the 100 Acre Wood.
