Thanks to the upcoming horror flick Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey, you’ll finally get to see that beloved fictional character you grew up with live in a dark and gritty setting where he slices people up for a laugh. Details on what exactly this movie will entail are scarce, but according to director Rhys Frake-Waterfield, who also co-wrote and produced the film, Winnie (Craig David-Dowsett) and Piglet (Chris Cordell) will being “going on a rampage” after they were abandoned by a college age Christopher Robin. “Because they’ve had to fend for themselves, they become quite feral,” he explained to Variety. “They’re no longer tame: they’re like a vicious bear and pig who want to go around and try and find prey.”

I thought Disney owned all the rights to Pooh everything: the original artwork, the characters, everything Pooh (and company). What happened?

disney's copyright expired, so pooh entered the public domain.

According to an article in USA Today, legendary characters Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga and Owl are going to enter the public domain, and not be under copyright protection from Disney.

Disney acquired the copyright to Winnie the Pooh books and its characters in 1961.

The characters first appeared in books by A.A. Milne in 1926, and under the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998, a company’s copyright is protected for 95 years after its first publication.

Proliferation of gore is nauseating.

As if our youngsters need more disturbing mental images in addition to what already entered their psyche
It isn’t the guns we need to blame for the indiscriminate violence in the society

Frankly, I thought the Disneyfication of Pooh was intolerable.

Something tells me, the film isn't intended for youngsters. They're not the ones with the means to buy tickets, after all. Or most of them aren't.

The Disney that Walt created is long gone.

You've never heard of the Disney movie entitled Flesh? It's an adult flick about slicing body parts off the living and selling the meat to the highest bidding cannibal. Yummy, huh?

This isn't Disney's version of Poo. It's A.A. Milne's. The original.
