Why don't the simply make a movie showing Winnie and Piglet going into an elementary school and shooting up 19 children and two teachers? Won't get a viewer reaction much different from what we're seeing today. Except now the movie makers will REALLY deserve the reaction they get.

What’s up with that?

I'm not surprised that someone has done this to Pooh.



I don't doubt in a few years this trash will be available on you tube for kids to watch if they really care to.

It's not just Disney.
A brief explanation. https://www.bl.uk/romantics-and-vict...ans-in-fiction

I'm happy to see Pooh in the public domain, I wish more children's characters were, even if it means some people twist it up for their own sick minds.

Just some idiotic production company trying to make a name for themselves now that the Disney rights have expired.

I can't say I have heard of their other epic releases which include The Legend of Jack & Jill and The Curse of Humpty Dumpty.

Just don't watch it, and hopefully they will lose money and not make any more of this nonsense.

We did have Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, though.

I won't be watching either.

The Hundred Acre Wood in Winnie the Pooh is actually Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, and they have just planted some new trees as plans to regenerate the ancient forest.

Lots of famous children's books linked to different areas of the UK from Narnia to Lord of the Rings to Watership Down to Alice in Wonderland etc etc etc.

As for Humty Dumpty, I believe he was originally a large gun at Colchester Garrison rather than an egg, but that's nursery rhymes for you, and I think Jack and Jill has Italian origins.

In to the Woods was a good US adaptation encompassing different fairy tales, however I think I'll skip Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
