Winnie the Pooh is a beloved anthropomorphic teddy bear created by author A. A. Milne and illustrator E. H. Shepard that has left a lasting impression on many people. Winnie the Pooh first appeared in a poem by Milne in 1924, but Disney acquired the licensing rights to the name and likeness in 1961, creating one of the most successful franchises to date. Disney also removed the hyphen from the title, saving everyone precious time when writing about “Winnie the Pooh.”
In January 2022, Milne’s “Winnie the Pooh” entered the public domain, and Disney no longer had exclusive control over how this “silly old bear” was portrayed in the media. Writer/director Rhys Waterfield took advantage of this opportunity by deciding to make a live-action slasher film called “Winnie the Pooh. Blood and Honey”. Waterfield is well known for his deep knowledge of campy horror-comedy films, having served as producer on such films as “The Legend of Jack and Jill,” “The Spider in the Attic,” “The Curse of Bloody Mary,” and “Van Helsing’s Wrath.” He is currently in post-production on several films and has collaborated many times with the casts of his own films.
Director Waterfield specifically reinstated the hyphen in the film’s title because this is based on Milne’s 1920s “Winnie the Pooh,” and he does not want it to be confused with a Disney film for children. The film is produced and distributed by ITN Studios and Judge Edge Productions. There are bound to be many questions. Please keep reading to find out everything we know so far about this upcoming children’s nightmare movie. Oh, the hassle.
What is “A Tale of Blood and Honey”?
In the 100 Acre Wood, Christopher Robin has fewer visits and adventures as he gets older. When Christopher Robin goes off to college, Pooh, Piglet, and their animal friends are left alone without food. The pain and despair of abandonment cause them to revert to their animal natures in order to survive. Winnie the Pooh and Piglet run amok as a bear and a wild boar in a world where there seems to be no longer friendship, no surprises, and no possibility.
Christopher meets a girl, falls in love, and decides to take her back to the forest to introduce her to his childhood friend. At this time, however, they do not realize that they have already become savages. Will they really notice him and return to being adorable creatures again? I doubt it. Frankly, it is probably best for him that Piglet and Pooh do not remember his thoughtless betrayal and abandonment.
In addition to Christopher Robin and his new fiancée returning to the woods, a group of college women has rented out an isolated cabin in the woods. Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, who go berserk at the sight of Christopher Robin, make the easy women targets. Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, who have become violent at the sight of Christopher Robin, make the girls their targets and terrorize them like in a slasher film. Will one of the heroes find a way to defeat these rabid animals, or will the 100-acre forest be doomed?
Is there a trailer for Winnie the Pooh? A Tale of Blood and Honey
Yay!” On August 31, 2022, we watched the official teaser trailer! It is everything excited fans have been asking for. Watch the trailer below!
Filming for the film ended in May, and it was reportedly shot in just 10 days. When some stills from the footage were released, there was an immediate response on the Internet. Now that they have seen the trailer, several viewers have pointed out some extremely dark details. When Christopher Robin and his fiancée are looking for Pooh and Piglet, they see a makeshift gravestone in the background that reads “Eeyore R.I.P.” in red. Did he die of starvation? Or did he suffer from his trademark depression? Or did something more sinister happen at the hands of his former comrades? ……
Who’s In the Cast of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey?
The cast is limited, as this is the debut feature from indie filmmaker Rhys Waterfield. Winnie the Pooh will be played by relative newcomer Craig David Dowsett, who will also appear in the comedy horror film “The House That Zombies Built,” which is currently filming. Piglet is played by Chris Cordell. Like his co-star, he is no stranger to the genre of twisted horror-comedies about childhood stories. His first feature film was The Curse of Humpty Dumpty, followed by The Spider in the Attic, produced by Rhys Waterfield.
Amber Doig-Thorne, who co-stars with Craig David Dowsett in The House That Zombies Built, will be the lead Screaming Queen. Natasha Tosini of “Quarantine Leap,” Maria Taylor of “Perfectly Frank,” Natasha Rose Mills of” May Kelly of “Graphic Designs,” and Danielle Ronald of “Curse of Bloody Mary” will participate.. Christopher Robin will be played by British actor Nicolai Leung. This will be his second film with director Rhys Waterfield, following “The Magic Christmas Tree. Christopher Robin’s fiancée Mary will be played by Paula Koiz (Tooth Fairy: Queen of Pain).
When is the release date for “Winnie the Pooh”? When is the release date for “Blood and Honey”?
The possibility of a release date of October 20, 2022, is being discussed online. However, no confirmation has been obtained on this, so take that information with a grain of salt. A U.S. release date might include a streaming option along with a theatrical release. It is also possible that “Winnie-the-Pooh, Blood and Honey” (originally titled “Winnie the Pooh”) will be released theatrically. Blood and Honey could be distributed directly to streaming services and skip the box office altogether. The official trailer only says “Coming Soon,” so one can only hope that the film will not be released until next month or later.
On a positive note, Waterfield has indicated since the first images were released in May that, they hope to move forward with post-production as soon as possible. Based on the timeline since filming was completed, we should definitely see the first “Winnie the Pooh” horror film by Halloween.
