The Director Received Death Threats
Following the film release, the director Rhys Frake-Waterfield even received death threats from angry fans who started petitions to stop the filming:
“It’s crazy! We received petitions to stop filming. I received death threats. Some people told me they called the police. I want to get away from them as much as possible. I want Winnie the Pooh to be big, menacing and intimidating, and scary. I don’t want it to be small and cute.”

The copyright issue
The beloved adventures of Winnie the Pooh and his gang of friends have been under the control of Disney’s license for several decades. However, the legal protection for the first books written by Alan Alexander Milne in 1926 has expired, allowing the original character to enter the public domain. This fact has enabled the creation of the controversial horror adaptation “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.”
Despite this, the expiration of the copyright does not allow for any excessive alterations to the original character. Since Winnie the Pooh has evolved, only his initial version is in the public domain.
- As a result, it is impossible to separate the character’s red tunic, which is worn in Disney films, by the lustful teddy bear.
- Similarly, the horror film Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey does not feature Tigger, who only appeared in the later books.
In addition to copyright, which limits the unauthorized copying of creative works and has a finite lifespan, the new film also involves trademark rights. Disney’s license, which is renewed indefinitely, prohibits the release of any product associated with Winnie the Pooh that could be confused with the original.
The director Rhys Frake-Waterfield won the media battle and has announced plans for a sequel and horror films inspired by “Bambi” and “Peter Pan.”

In conclusion, the horror transformation of Winnie the Pooh from a beloved children’s character to a cold-blooded killer in Winnie the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023) has sparked outrage among fans and has already made a name for itself in the cinema world by attracting negative attention.
