Chinese authorities banned Winnie the Pooh movie
The movie "Christopher Robin", which tells about the grown-up friend of Winnie the Pooh, will not be shown at the Chinese box office. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the country's authorities did not issue a Walt Disney movie in a rental license. No reasons were announced, but anonymous sources claim that this happened as part of an unofficial "fight" against the images of Winnie the Pooh , as this is how opposition-minded Internet users call the President of the People's Republic of China. Previously, the website of the popular American television channel HBO was blocked for the jokes of its host John Oliver that he allowed himself to address the President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping. In particular, he mentioned the practice of removing online references to Winnie the Pooh as an example of censorship existing in the country. However, the actions of the Chinese authorities can be explained in a simpler way: the quota for foreign movies that exists in the country. Ewan McGregor, Hayley Atwell, Chris O'Dowd, Toby Jones, Jim Cummings, starred in the movie "Christopher Robin", Peter Capaldi, Mark Gatisse, Brad Garrett, Sophie Okonedo, Adrian Scarborough and other actors. The picture was shown in USA since August 2, 2018. The Topic of Article: Chinese authorities banned Winnie the Pooh movie. |
