The sweet honey bear Winnie the Pooh has been one of the most popular children’s characters for almost 100 years. Most recently, however, he appeared in a horror film as a nightmarish slasher monster who had to eat his donkey friend Eeyore and therefore took revenge on people.
Now there has been a new incident surrounding the film accidentally shown to a 4th grader in the USA became. Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey director Rhys Frake-Waterfield has already commented on this.
Winnie the Pooh horror director worries about schoolchildren
As Variety reports, a teacher did showed his young school class in the USA 20 to 30 minutes from Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. Maybe he only read the first part of the film’s title and then thought it was harmless entertainment for children.
In an interview with Variety, the director of the horror film says:
It’s crazy, isn’t it? I think it’s crazy. Because when you watch the film, there’s no way you can confuse it with a children’s film because literally crazy things happen in the first 10 minutes. And [die Charaktere] look scary.So I don’t know how – because they said it took 20 to 30 minutes – I don’t know how it took so long. I don’t know if the teacher turned on it and just went out and left them, or if the kids tricked him or something. Hopefully we didn’t ruin these children’s childhoods.
Winnie the Pooh horror gets sequel
Worldwide, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey grossed nearly $5 million at the box office, according to Box Office Mojo. That doesn’t sound like a huge amount, but the horror film does only cost $100,000 and has become a hit.
A sequel is therefore already a done deal. In the Variety interview, the director talks about, among other things, the fact that the budget for Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 was more than 10 times as high as for Part 1. The sequel will be released in early 2024.
