Now online is the first clip from Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, unveiling the bizarre origin of this twisted rendition of the beloved Disney character.
The initial clip from the horror sequel, Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey, has been unveiled by Fathom Events (via Bloody Disgusting), shedding light on the peculiar genesis of this unconventional portrayal of the beloved Disney character. In the snippet, an elderly man informs Christopher Robin that Pooh seemingly emerged from the Earth itself. While lacking context, the scene offers a glimpse of a youthful Pooh emerging from the soil.
In an interview with THR, director Rhys Frake-Waterfield addressed Pooh’s revamped appearance and teased what fans can anticipate from the sequel as a whole.
“Number two is better than number one in every single aspect. Because we’ve gone into this knowing on what platform scale it’s going, whereas in the first one, we didn’t really have much of an idea. We obviously didn’t expect it to go to the masses it did. This time we’ve gone into it knowing that will happen, so a lot more time can be dedicated towards it. I’ve not really worked on anything else this year. And that’s why all areas are now a massive jump up compared to the first.”
“For example, the look of the creatures is quite an important thing,” he continued. “Before we had a mask bought online, some cleaning gloves from the shop downstairs and a red lumberjack shirt from Amazon. The whole monster was about £630 ($770). But this time we have people doing the prosthetics — it’s a company that has worked on Harry Potter’s Voldemort and Star Wars. And they’ve been in charge of the redesigns of the creature. And that’s why Pooh looks a bit more scary. There’s an extra level of detail there. “
Here’s the official synopsis: “Deep within the 100-Acre-Wood, a destructive rage grows as Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Owl, and Tigger find their home and their lives endangered after Christopher Robin revealed their existence. Not wanting to live in the shadows any longer, the group decides to take the fight to the town of Ashdown, home of Christopher Robin, leaving a bloody trail of death and mayhem in their wake. Winnie and his savage friends will show everyone that they are deadlier, stronger, and smarter than anyone could ever imagine and get their revenge on Christopher Robin, once and for all.”
Fathom Events will bring Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey II to U.S. theatres beginning on March 26, but it’s only playing for three days: March 26, 27 and 28.
