Christopher Robin appears in all of the Disney animated adaptations except for ''[[Welcome to Pooh Corner]]'', ''[[Boo to You Too! Winnie the Pooh]]'', ''[[Springtime with Roo]]'', and ''[[Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie]]''. But in most of the cartoons, he is only a supporting character, sometimes only appearing in a few scenes or episodes; in ''[[Pooh's Heffalump Movie]]'', he only appears during the credits. His personality is virtually the same as in the books, but he attends [[day school]] instead of [[boarding school]]. Christopher Robin's bedroom, but not Christopher Robin himself, appears in live-action opening sequences. In the world within his storybooks, his house appears just as it does in [[E. H. Shepard]]'s illustrations. An English boy living in the [[Ashdown Forest]], Christopher Robin has brown hair. He wears a yellow polo shirt with white collar and trim on his short sleeves, blue shorts, white socks and black [[Mary Jane (shoe)|Mary Jane shoes]] (or sometimes red sneakers). On several appropriate occasions, he plays a [[snare drum]]. ''[[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'' re-imagines him as an American boy living in the suburban house 100 Acre Road whose backyard connects directly to the Hundred Acre Wood. His mother also appears in the series and Robin is apparently their surname in that continuity. Some of these elements were reused for ''[[The Book of Pooh]]'', but the animals are once again characters in Christopher Robin's storybook. His hollow tree house does not appear from both series. Christopher Robin has appeared on the television series ''[[House of Mouse]]'' with his friends in cameo appearances. While he does not appear in the [[Kingdom Hearts (series)|''Kingdom Hearts'' video game series]], in this continuity the ''Winnie-the-Pooh'' book belongs to [[Merlin (Disney)|Merlin]] and Christopher Robin's role is played out mostly by [[Sora (Kingdom Hearts)|Sora]]. He only appears in two episodes of ''[[My Friends Tigger and Pooh]]'' but in the whole series, he is absent and is replaced by his younger friend Darby, a feisty red-headed girl who is the main protagonist and hosts the series. His appearance was updated for [[Winnie the Pooh (2011 film)|the 2011 film]]. He also appears with the same appearance as a playable character in the video game ''[[Disney Magic Kingdoms]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qmt5zmNj0M&ab_channel=DisneyMagicKingdoms |title=Update 69: Bambi {{!}} Event Walkthrough|author=''Disney Magic Kingdoms'' ([[Gameloft]])|publisher=[[YouTube]]|date=April 7, 2023}}</ref> In the ''[[Doc McStuffins]]'' crossover special "Into the Hundred Acre Wood!", Christopher Robin visits Doc's toy hospital searching for Pooh, who has been admitted as a patient.

Christopher Robin has a cameo appearance in the 2023 short film ''[[Once Upon a Studio]]'', where, together with his friends, he tries to help Pooh when he is stuck in a photo frame, and being part of the [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]] characters who gather to take a group photo.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Reif |first1=Alex |title=Disney's "Once Upon a Studio" β List of Characters in Order of Appearance |url=https://www.laughingplace.com/w/disney-entertainment/disneys-once-upon-a-studio-list-of-characters-in-order-of-appearance/ |website=Laughing Place |date=October 16, 2023}}</ref> ===Portrayals=== Of the nine main characters, Christopher Robin has the most voice actors.
