This new Winnie the Pooh movie is NOT one for the kids to watch. The beloved kids character Winnie the Pooh and his friend Piglet have gone to dark in this horror film with Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. After the original book became public domain in the United States back in January, Disney no longer held exclusive film rights to the characters first depicted in the book, just the appearance. This paved the way for this controversial film, which some upset due to its concept involving a character that had garnered a reputation for being a “beloved childhood icon.” If you can make grisly Grimms Brothers work like Cinderella and the Little Mermaid into kid friendly stories why can’t you do the opposite, in my humble opinion.
The plot of the controversial horror film is … During his childhood, Christopher Robin befriended Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, and their friends, playing games and also providing them with food. As he grew, these visits grew more infrequent, as did the food supply, causing Pooh and the others to grow increasingly hungry and desperate. When Christopher went to college, the visits stopped completely, causing Pooh and Piglet to become completely feral and unhinged, resulting in Eeyore and the others getting killed and eaten at some point. Now, Christopher has returned to the forest alongside his new wife, hoping to introduce her to his old friends. Feeling betrayed, this results in them going on a murderous rampage for human flesh as they antagonize a group of university girls who are occupying a rural cabin.
Here is the trailer for the horror film, again not for kids and is age-restricted on YouTube:
