First look at horror film ‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.’First look at horror film ‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.’ Disney fans will be left utterly blindsided by this complete 180-degree character arc, but that's because this new horror film is not associated with the multinational entertainment conglomerate at all. Winnie the Pooh was first created by A.A. Milne and illustrated by E.H. Shepard in 1926. It became a household name upon its adaptation by in 1961 to become one of the most renowned children’s entertainment franchises.

However, since the project was created before the historic Copyright Act of 1976, it has enjoyed a copyright of 95 years that expired at the end of 2021. By virtue of this, Winnie the Pooh entered the public domain on January 1, 2022, thereby removing Disney as the exclusive owner of the character and its story. The Pooh story is now up for grabs for anyone who wishes to present their own take on it. This is precisely what enables Rhys Frake-Waterfield, the director and writer of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, to wheel the sacred character into the bloody and gruesome world he has created. The R-rated independent indie horror film produced by Jagged Edge Productions is still under wraps, with little being known about it. I hope somewhere some Disney lawyer is tearing their hair out trying to scour “Winnie the Pooh - Blood and Honey” for anything infringing lolI hope somewhere some Disney lawyer is tearing their hair out trying to scour “Winnie the Pooh - Blood and Honey” for anything infringing lol However, Frake-Waterfield did reveal first-look images into Blood and Honey, which gave viewers a taste of what to expect — a throwback to the gory glory days of 90s horror cinema. The film's protagonist isn't the jolly anthropomorphic teddy we all remember, appearing to be a man donning a morbid mask of Winnie the Pooh instead. Another still shows the creepy Pooh hovering behind a woman in a bathtub, alongside another masked character, presumably his trusty side-kick Piglet. With bloody warnings of "Get out" painted across windows, macabre frames of Pooh wielding a deadly sledgehammer looming over a tied-up victim, and the classic horror-genre lighting, the images certainly deliver on creating a , chilling atmosphere. My new conspiracy theory is that the Winnie the Pooh horror flick is actually funded by Disney dark money to get everyone to loudly decry Public Domain as some kind of boogey-man than ruins IPs rather than liberates them.My new conspiracy theory is that the Winnie the Pooh horror flick is actually funded by Disney dark money to get everyone to loudly decry Public Domain as some kind of boogey-man than ruins IPs rather than liberates them.
