EVERYTHING IN BOTH CANONS MUST SOMEHOW BE IN CHRISTOPHER ROBIN’S HEAD. This raises many more questions than it answers, but it does logically follow.

Oddly presumptive, declarative sentence. Anyway, this fact might open up a whole new can of worms. I certainly wouldn’t want to interact with my parents’ imaginary friends.

You do know that in the storyline, Darby is Christopher Robin’s daughter.

I have to disagree… I think that the 100 Acre Wood does exist outside of CR’s mind. The actual question is whether it exists outside of A.A. Milne’s mind. After all, he and CR are both “characters” in the book and he’s the one who tells the stories about what happens in the woods.

I’m no Darby fan, but she isn’t the product of a vast liberal conspiracy. Rather, someone noted that the entire population of the 100 Acre Woods is male – except for Kanga who doesn’t count. (Kanga is a mother/adult figure and kids don’t identify with her.)
So someone thought they’d give girls a presence in the 100 Acre Woods.

Yanno, every take I’ve seen on this gets it wrong.
(smug, check; self centered, check; egotistical, check – k, I’m still me)

Disney now owns the rights to Pooh et al.
Including CR.

They’ve used him in the past, and can continue to do so.

They use Darby for the very obvious reason that, like most liberals, they think boys suck.

Try finding books or stories for kids released in the last 20 years that center around a main character BOY.
Why do you think Harry Potter shot to the top ?

It was the first new storyline to come along in ages that was GOOD, and that had a GUY as main character.

Most new works , cartoon or written, feature a girl who may or may not have a boy sidekick or occasional companion- but make no mistake, the GIRL is in charge and on top.
Even HP points out that the smartest kid in the school is .. a girl.

In today’s brave new world, women (I am one) have managed a wondrous achievement.

We’re succeeding at every level of education from pre-k up through advanced degrees at a significantly higher rate than men, yet we’re still considered the under served gender, educationally.
Everything focuses on including girls, and EXcluding – or ridiculing …boys.

Even in the 100 Acre Wood, poor ‘ol Christopher Robin must make way for the PC Darby.
