There’s not much more to this opportunistic public domain experiment, which feels as though it’s puffed out its runtime to match the social media hype and deliver something greater than a skit. Little do they know they’re about to be mutilated and killed by two beloved cartoons. Soon after, a woman named Maria (Maria Taylor) decides to rent a house in the woods with five friends to get over a traumatic event that happened to her back at home. Courtesy Everett Collection Maria (Maria Taylor, center) thinks a vacation in the woods will be a relaxing way to unwind with friends. Mary (Coiz) and Christopher Robin (Nikolai Leon) are in love - until they encounter Winnie the Pooh. Pooh (Craig David Dowsett) and Piglet (Chris Cordell) - who look like hulking masked vigilantes from “The Purge” - capture despondent Christopher and strangle Mary to death with a chain. When he returns five years later with his new wife Mary (Paula Coiz), the couple spot turned-over honey pots covered in blood and a grave marker that reads “Eeyore RIP” (Pooh and Piglet ate him when they nearly starved). We learn in an animated prologue that when Chris left home for medical school, Pooh and Piglet were not only upset - they became feral. “What happened to you?!” an anguished Christopher Robin (Nikolai Leon) screams.
Or, how about when he decapitates a person and then tosses her noggin onto the dashboard of her friends’ car? The windshield wipers are on. The honey-loving rascal later impales a character with a long knife through the mouth. AP The audience watches as a character’s skull is crushed by Winnie the Pooh’s car. Now that Winnie the Pooh is in the public domain, artists are free to do whatever they want with him. Winnie then drives a car over another woman’s head - and the queasy skull crushing is presented in full gory view. There’s the time Pooh bashes a woman’s head in and then tosses her into a wood chipper.
He’s every bit as violent and undeterred as the serial killer from “Halloween,” only cuddly and yellow. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh stories entered the public domain, which means anybody can do anything with them (so long as they avoid certain Disney trademarks) free of charge.Īnd so, we get the demented “Blood and Honey,” made on the cheap and starring a Pooh bear who’s been re-conceived as a woodland Michael Myers.
