Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey is a horror remake that caused a sensation and started a series of horror remakes dedicated to many animated characters, but the director reveals the only animated character that will not get the remake
Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey, the horror remake about the bear from the Hundred Acre Wood, started a new way of making horror cinema reinterpreting the old animated characters of our childhood in a horror way. In fact, after Winnie The Pooh, Bambi will also be a horror film, riding the wave of its predecessor. Directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, the cute and clumsy bear Winnie was transformed into a ruthless killer. Abandoned by his human Christopher Robin, Winnie The Pooh begins to slowly transform into a killer seeking revenge for his abandonment. The first chapter was a great success at the cinema, so much so to announce a sequel with a much higher budget. However, the director wanted to clarify that there will be only one character who will not receive a horror reinterpretation.
Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey, no horror remake for this character according to the director
After the success of the slasher horror film, the horror remake of Winnie The Pooh will have a second chapter with other characters from the Hundred Acre Wood. Made after the rights to Winnie The Pooh entered the public domain, the film grossed 5.2 million dollars. In a recent interview with IndieWirethe director reflected on how well the idea of works turn famous animated characters into killers. He has also expressed his desire to make a horror version of baby mouseeven if to do so he would have to fight against Disney to obtain the rights to the character and he has no intention of doing so.
It would have gone the slasher route. Try to imagine the film on the steamboat with the fog invading the city. It would have been similar, with Mickey coming to town with the fog rolling in. Then he takes revenge and tears people apart. It would have been fun, but we decided we’re not going to do anything with it.
Even if we won’t see Mickey Mouse become a serial killer, the horror remake of Winnie The Pooh still started a horror genre that inspired other films, such as The Mean Onethe film that reinterprets the figure of Grinch who hates Christmas and becomes a murderer. In addition to Bambi, we will also see a horror film on Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. So it seems that they won’t stop at the little yellow bear, expect many more films of this type!
