Winnie the Pooh horror movie

Iconic fictional character Winnie the Pooh is taking a sinister turn with upcoming horror film titled "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey".

Winnie the Pooh now in the public domain It is not the same as the Disney-licensed Winnie the Pooh character who famously wears a red shirt. Not the same as Disney's Winnie the Pooh

The first look at surprise horror movie 'Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey' has left fans without a single bother left to give.

The last time we saw a live-action Winnie the Pooh movie, the end result was the whimsical and sickly sweet Christopher Robin, which drew plenty of praise from critics and earned close to $200 million at the box office. Either way, we can at least guarantee that absolutely no bothers were given when it came to reinventing a classic in the most unexpected possible fashion. Plot details remain under wraps for now, but we’re expecting the unexpected given that we’re talking about the honey-loving bear and his associates being turned into violent murderous maniacs.

Pooh and Piglet go on the prowl in this dark and disturbing take on the beloved AA Milne characters.

The Disney version of the character, however, remains in copyright. What sets Blood and Honey apart from other home invasion horrors, however, is the presence of a group of killers that are versions of Winnie the Pooh characters. As those latter two titles suggest, they have a number of titles based on public domain characters, which might explain where the idea for the film came from. However, images that show the costumes in detail seem to suggest the latter. Per the IMDB credits, these are the only two Milne characters in the movie. One image, for example, sees a character called Zoe (played by Danielle Ronald) heading down a staircase to a window.

Between 1961 and 2022 Disney was the sole owner of the rights to A.A. Milne's beloved characters, and the only company allowed to publish TV shows, movies, and ...

Now that Winnie and the gang have passed into the public domain, pretty much anyone can have a go at bringing him to the screen. But why try and perfect Disney's family-friendly take on the character when you can simply turn Pooh into a blood-curdlingly terrifying serial killer? There's even one shot of someone in a Piglet mask looming behind an unsuspecting victim, suggesting this murderous bear won't be acting alone.

The nation's beloved bear has turned into a disturbing blood-quenching maniac. That's right, Winnie the Pooh is making a return – in the horror genre.

Directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey shows a jolly honey-eating bear gone bad. Jagged Edge Productions have teased fans with a string of photos from the movie. The nation's beloved bear has turned into a disturbing blood-quenching maniac.

On Wednesday, May 25, news broke that our beloved childhood character Pooh will star in the horror movie Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey.

According to Jennifer Jenkins, director of the Centre for the Study of the Public Domain at Duke University, the rights to the Winnie the Pooh stories and characters after 1926 still belong to Disney. Previously, the rights to Winnie the Pooh were held exclusively under Disney licensing, which gave the character a red T-shirt and is the version recognisable to most.

The adorable bear has only been in the public domain a few months, and he's already picked up an ax.

Just as A.A. Milne intended, Winnie the Pooh will be the star of his own horror film thanks to the character entering the public domain.

Essentially, he has the shape of a human, but a face that kind of resembles a horse. Is it possible we could see the character appear in Thor: Love and Thunder? “Tom Cruise‘s upcoming Paramount film Top Gun: Maverick is slated to become the actor’s largest film yet. “Strange things can start to happen when beloved characters slip into the public domain, and the upcoming horror movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey sure is a testament to that. The upcoming horror movie – which is of course not related to Disney in any way, shape, or form – turns the anthropomorphic yellow teddy bear into a monstrous murderer. Lest you think he would slow down, he’s now adding an adaptation of Speed Racer to his packed schedule.”

The first images of Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey took the Internet by storm.

“And we wanted to go between the two.” “So they’ve gone back to their animal roots. “Because they’ve had to fend for themselves so much, they’ve essentially become feral,” Waterfield shared.

Winnie the Pooh is getting the horror movie treatment in the upcoming film Blood and Honey – and the terrifying first look is here.

Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey doesn't have a release date just yet. Then, the bear sits in a fancy car in another photo, while a woman is tied up with a hammer disturbingly close by in another still. In the pictures, windows are daubed with what looks to be blood spelling out the words "GET OUT," while Winnie and a disturbing-looking Piglet lurk menacingly behind a woman in a hot tub in another image.

Horror film Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey feels like a concept the studio's been sitting on since 2010.

Because the film is based on the 1962 version of Winnie that’s in the public domain, that means supporting characters who are still under copyright—like Tigger—won’t be showing up in the movie. Thanks to the upcoming horror flick Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey, you’ll finally get to see that beloved fictional character you grew up with live in a dark and gritty setting where he slices people up for a laugh. Now that early stories of A.A. Milne’s creation have entered the public domain after being previously owned by Disney, someone’s decided to test this theory by splicing Winnie into a movie where he’s a serial killer.

In Blood and Honey, the adorable bear has only been in the public domain a few months and he's already picked up an ax.

Winnie the Pooh just entered into the public domain and this is the first project we're getting from that. Absolutely terrifying.

Creative freedom with Winnie the Pooh is good! It’s just a Winnie the Pooh movie. Some of our best childhood fables come from figures in the public domain. There have been tons of fictional characters we’ve come to love through the public domain. For so long we’ve seen Winnie the Pooh as a Disney work. Or if you want to see Piglet looking like a somehow even more feral version of the Arkansas Razorbacks logo? But the kicker is everyone else can make their own versions of Pooh now, too. This allows independent creators to take works that we’ve all come to love and make their own beautiful adaptions of them. It essentially means that anyone can pick up the work and use it. And not playful Winnie the Poohs either. “The indie horror title is currently in production by director Rhys Frake-Waterfield. Quite a staggering directorial debut if you ask me. It was just an image I saw on Twitter…of Winnie the Pooh.
