Winnie the Pooh turns murderous in ‘Blood and Honey’ horror movie - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Pooh, Piglet, Kanga, Roo, Owl, Eeyore and Christopher Robin all became public domain on Jan. 1 last year when the copyright on A.A. Milne’s 1926 book,“Winnie-the-Pooh,” with illustrations by E.H. Shepard, expired.

Pooh — newly freed from copyright — is now violently terrorizing a remote house of young women.

The filmmakers already announced they were making a sequel before the first one was even released.

I'll probably watch it out of curiosity.

For something kid-themed turned into R-rated horror I did enjoy The Banana Splits Movie.

This is the part of the story (below) that confused me. Wouldn’t Disney, DC Comics (whoever it is that owns them nowadays), Warner Brothers all have their respective properties locked up legal-wise?

>>>In the next 10 years, some of the most iconic characters in pop culture — including Bugs Bunny, Batman and Superman — will pass into public domain, or at least their most early incarnations.

Many have next Jan. 1 circled. That’s when the original version of Mickey Mouse, from “Steamboat Willie,” becomes public domain. It will be open season on the face of the Walt Disney Co. — or at least that early whistling variety of Mickey.<<<

How in the world can they make a horror movie out of Winnie The Pooh when it's been an iconic book in history? This thing with turning books into horror movies I cannot figure out why they do it. As we saw with the computer game American McGee's Alice which is a horror game based on Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll people seem to think that making horror movies based on popular books and fairy tales seem to be huge in movie trends today. I don't know how this new Winnie The Pooh movie will do but I have a feeling it will flop when it debuts in theaters. I mean what will be next a horror film of Goldilocks And The Three Bears with the three bears terrorized by an evil Goldilocks? Or a scary Peter Pan?

Yeah, I'm not sure how that works, maybe just the books themselves are public domain, but anything actually made my Disney can't be copied.

Making fairytales in to horror movies has been around for decades. We've had a horror spin on Goldilocks already in the 80s anthology film Deadtime Stories, which also featured a horror slant on Red Riding Hood. And Red Riding Hood was made into horror before that with the Angela Lansbury movie Company Of Wolves.

Then again, most fairytales were already dark and horrorfying before they became Disney-fied.

Yeah, totally !

I just watched a trailer of this Pooh horror movie , looks pretty intense

, wouldn't mind seeing it but it's not playing at any theaters near me !

I do want to see that other bear movie " Cocaine Bear" ! That looks pretty cool, dark humor ! Hoping to see it next week. That is playing near me !

Torgo, what are your thoughts on " Cocaine Bear"? Seems like something you might like ?

opus · 12-30-2023, 12:36 PM

I finally saw it. I honestly don't know what to say about this one

opus · 01-02-2024, 06:05 PM

Sequel a-coming

Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey director says sequel will have at least 5 times the budget

Also coming for you is Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse horror movie trailer drops after character enters public domain

Watch the unhinged trailer for "Mickey's Mouse Trap."

opus · 03-09-2024, 11:56 PM

Woo hoo! Worst picture!!

Blood and Honey won an impressive (if that's the word) five Razzies: Worst Picture, Worst Screen Couple for Pooh and Piglet, and Worst Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel, with Rhys Frake-Waterfield winning Worst Director and Worst Screenplay.

I liked the first one as cheesy and cringy as it set out to be. Ill definitely be giving the sequel a watch, as the masks are better looking.

Torgo · 03-10-2024, 02:12 PM

Now you'll have this to look forward to:

Bampire, a Horror-Comedy Based on Bambi, is Coming Soon
