Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey is not a Robot Chicken sketch. It is a real movie that is currently film. Its director released photos of the film to get some social media buzz, and they are getting it. Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield confirmed that he is making an R-18 Winnie the Pooh movie on his Instagram. I’m not entirely sure what he’s smoking. He wanted to ruin your childhood by making a horror movie starring a beloved character. Fans of the huggable bear are not happy, and it caused some outrage on social media. The plot is simple, Winnie the Pooh and Piglet lost their sanity after Christopher Robin abandoned them.
Winnie the Pooh fans are livid!

How did this happen? Well, four months ago, Winnie the Pooh entered the Public domain. You can make your version of characters from this franchise as long as they don’t look like the Disney version. Most of the Disney Princess based on fairy tales are public domain too. Disney has exclusive rights to the likeness of their version but not the original character. That is why we have Cinderella movies that Disney does not make.
Winnie the Pooh was created by an English author named A. A. Milne. He based it on the playtime of his Son, Christopher Robin. His son has a playful imagination with all of his stuffed toys. Yes, All Pooh characters are based on his plushies. The picture below is a colorized photo of the real Christopher Robin, together with Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet. Disney never created Winnie the Pooh, and it’s just an adaptation of the books. Books become public domain 70 years after the author’s death.
Families can keep the ownership and royalties if they renew it. Clare Milne, the daughter of Christopher Robin, never got married because of her cerebral palsy because her parents are first cousins. She has no heir for the rights of the books.

What in the moist barrels of damn! The director of this rubbish thinks this is a good idea?
Xi Jinping’s acting debut? A teen slasher with Pooh Bear and Piglet as the killers? Nothing is sacred anymore if the thing becomes public domain.
There goes my childhood. If Christopher Robinson didn’t marry his cousin, He would have got grand children and the copyrights of Pooh will not expire.
I am speechless. Yikes, What a terrible looking movie!
To be clear, the books became public domain; but, it does not mean that you may simply utilize the Disney rendition. Every single damn time a significant piece of media becomes public domain, at least one of these sleazy nightmare cash grabs appears. The Horror Pooh have a deformed face and he doesn’t have the Red Shirt so he is not the Disney Version.

The Public Domain version of Pooh is just a naked version of the Disney Pooh. Yeah as long as he doesn’t have the red shirt, You wont be in trouble.
