00:00This adorable Disney character is now the terrifying star of an upcoming horror movie.
00:05Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey depicts the beloved teddy bear and piglet as they turn
00:09rabid after being abandoned by their best friend Christopher Robin.
00:12The movie has made headlines since it was announced earlier this year, with many wondering
00:16how turning the children's figures feral was legally possible.
00:19Well, that's because the original Winnie the Pooh book by A. A. Milne has since lapsed
00:24into the public domain, meaning filmmakers can use the character's name and story as
00:28long as it doesn't include elements invented by Disney later.
00:31Thus, director Reese Waterfield was able to create a tale where Pooh and Piglet plot revenge
00:35on Christopher Robin for leaving them behind in the Hundred Acre Woods.
00:39Another cartoon character, Steamboat Willie, will enter the public domain in 2024, so don't
00:43be surprised if Mickey Mouse makes his slasher film debut in the near future.
