More like "Oh, bother", no?

Say what you will about Disney, but they used to be psychotically protective of their IPs. A few years ago, this would've never been made because, as they used to say, they cared about the 'integrity' of the characters. This is why, for example, they never allowed the Disney Princesses to interact in the DP merch, because they wanted to ensure people understood the characters were meant to come from different universes. I thought that was pretty dumb, though......maybe they had a point? Now we're getting a Winnie the Pooh horror movie right after a Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers movie that mocked and smeared many Disney IPs, including Peter Pan/Bobby Driscoll. I guess they just don't care anymore, if they ever really did. I'm not some huge Disney fan, but I respected their influence in animation. But I guess profits from Disney+ and virtue signaling brownie points matter more to their current staff.

Poor old Pooh-bear is now in the public domain, as of the first of this year. Disney only controls "their version" of it now.
"Oh, bother" indeed.

Eh. It wouldn't surprise me anyhow. Disney or not. It's still dumb post-modern Hollywood crap. I love that stuff like this is what passes off for 'creativity' nowadays. The world's d00med. |

On the plus side, someone's long-awaited Pooh/Rabbit slash fiction can finally be monetized, how awesome is that?
Poor Eeyore gets the worst of it. Last I heard, he got nailed in the ass.

Funnily enough me and my friends were talking about which characters would be the most racist and it’s pretty much agreed it’s Rabbit. You know that he would say “boy” one too many times.

It's less offensive than people who say "funnily enough".

Aren’t a couple of characters Disney exclusive? Like wasn’t only four of the characters from the actual book? Or am I getting things mixed up with the real toys?

I've actually seen that godawful Pinocchio horror movie. Thanks for bringing that sh*t back into my memory.
The sh*t you'd see on Saturday afternoon premium cable, man.

Heh, if A. A. Milne was hesitant about letting Walt Disney put his own stamp on his creation, just imagine what he'd think of this.
I guess it's like Pride & Prejudice getting the "& Zombies" treatment.

Though I'm disappointed it's just a horror movie with some guy in a mask. Now... if it had been some kind of clever and artfully macabre animated thing, with an art style that's reminiscent of the illustrations from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, it might have intrigued me...even if that still would have been rather messed up to do to Pooh. (But now I want the Scary Stories book art version of Disney.) edit: Dammit... The Horror Acre Wood. I want an animated thing. Why can't I at least draw like Stephen Gammell. lol Last edited by IndigoErth; 05-25-2022 at 04:30 PM. |

Kind of weird how this is the first Pooh movie made after the character became public domain. Like sure, I get making a horror movie about normally child-friendly characters, you'd just figure the first post-copyright Pooh movie would be a more... "Earnest" adaptation? I don't think when the Wizard of Oz went PD the first thought was "Let's make a movie where Dorothy slits the Wicked Witch's throat and drinks her blood".

Probably just applies to the general character and concept, not individual works that belong to whoever (such Disney) that created them.

Looked it up. Tigger still has a couple of years of copyright as he was in the sequel book.
