Is nothing sacred?
Apparently the copyright to Winnie the Pooh, held by Disney up until recently, has now expired.
So, what has the world done? Made a slasher movie of course. Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (wonder how long it took them to come up with that title).
Pooh and Piglet have been around for 95 years and now, it seems, they are pissed. Gone rogue on Christopher Robin.
Difficult to reconcile that this is what the world needs really.
Wasn’t the horror of Bambi and Old Yeller enough to bear? But, in those movies, at least there was a lesson. What lesson can ANY slasher movie provide?
I’m not sure how important Winnie the Pooh is to the latest generation of kids, but it seems sad that “Blood and Honey” could be become anyone’s memory and impression of the gentle Pooh Bear.
Funny may be back soon. Sorry Pooh, the world has gone mad.
