What happened to Christopher Robin?

Okay, I know Darby is the new kid on the new Pooh show. But, exactly who is she? Why does she play with Pooh and friends? What happened to Christopher Robin?

My Friends Tigger and Pooh is a new show on Playhouse Disney. If I am correct, Darby is his cousin.

Okay. We saw this a couple of times. My DD has just grown out of Playhouse Disney and into Hannah Montanna. We couldn't figure out where Darby came from and what had happened to Christopher Robin. Thanks!:mickey:

I always figured that Darby was a friend of Christopher Robin's who was entrusted with the job of keeping Pooh and pals company while he's away.

Wasn't sure myself about Darby glad to know the answer now.

I read someplace that she is Christopher Robin's sister and that he is away at school. Don't know if that is true.

Christopher Robin has appeared on a couple of shows, but I don't recall the show explaining it.

I just thought it was kind of weird that Christopher Robin disappeared. And, it would be nice if Disney would have him at the parks along with the other 100 Acre Woods characters. After all, Darby or not, they are still his friends.

According to Wikipedia:

My Friends Tigger & Pooh is a computer animation television series, based on Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne. The television series features Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends, including two new characters: a 6-year-old red-haired girl named Darby and her dog Buster. Although Darby appears to be the main human friend of Pooh and the gang, Christopher Robin still appears sporadically.
