'Winnie The Pooh' Is Now An R-Rated Horror Movie After Becoming Public Domain—And Oh Dear

'Winnie The Pooh' Is Now An R-Rated Horror Movie After Becoming Public Domain—And Oh Dear
Jagged Edge Productions

Disney's Winnie the Pooh, the beloved bear from the Hundred Acre Wood is being reimagined as a murderous beast out for blood in a new slasher movie.

The stories of the anthropomorphic teddy bear based on the creations of English author A.A. Milne hit the public domain five years ago, and director Rhys Waterfield is one of the first to depict the "willy nilly silly old bear" as a bloodthirsty cubby all stuffed with rage.


As far as we know, the basic premise for Waterfield's Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey is that when Christopher Robin leaves for college, Pooh and Piglet turn feral and go on a killing spree.

Abandonment issues, much? Oh, bother.

Twitter had some thoughts on that.









Gay Twitter also had some thoughts about Pooh being an LGBTQ+ icon since the character became public domain.







In an interview with Variety, Waterfield shared:

"Christopher Robin is pulled away from them, and he’s not [given] them food, it’s made Pooh and Piglet’s life quite difficult."
“Because they’ve had to fend for themselves so much, they’ve essentially become feral.”

Waterfield continued:

“So they’ve gone back to their animal roots. They’re no longer tame: they’re like a vicious bear and pig who want to go around and try and find prey.”

According to Variety, the film was shot in ten days in England and just wrapped a month ago.

Waterfield has not disclosed the budget for the film but noted audiences “shouldn’t be expecting this to be a Hollywood-level production.”

Jagged Edge Productions–which Waterfield runs with co-producer Scott Jeffrey, made the film–and ITN Studios will distribute it.

There has been no official release date set.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
