Forget the cute teddy bear and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood. Although everyone has in mind the Disney version of these charming characters created by AA Milne, with the 96th anniversary of his creation Winnie the Pooh has become public knowledge. Rhys Waterfield wasted no time and directed ‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey’, a horror film in which the protagonists better have honey to reassure the bear.. Here is his first trailer.
In ‘Blood and Honey’, Winnie the Pooh was abandoned by Christopher Robin when the boy leaves for college. Far from getting on with his life, the bear teams up with his faithful friend Piglet to set out in search of Christopher … to hunt him down. And if more are killed along the way, all the better.
Behind the creepy new versions of Pooh and Piglet are Craig David Dowsett and Chris Cordell, while Nikolai Leon plays Christopher Robin. Rhys Waterfield also signs the screenplay for this slasher which still does not have a release date in our country.
What does Disney have to say about all of this?
Although anyone can now use Winnie the Pooh in their creations, those with the mouse will keep an eye out so that no one steps on one of their most successful characters. So, movies like “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” can use the bear, but not the most characteristic elements of the Disney version like his red shirt. They also cannot use other characters from the AA Milne saga of books that were created later because they remain protected by copyright law for up to 95 years after their first appearance. But with Pooh and Piglet it is enough to make a very brown mess.
