Eeyore is dead and Piglet is a killer in the new trailer for Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey
Entertainment Weekly ^ | 8/31/22 | Clark Collis

So what exactly happened to Christopher Robbin to elicit such madness? "Pooh and Piglet experience a drastic drop in food as Christopher grew up and over the years became increasingly hungry and feral," Rhys Frake-Waterfield explained. "They had to resort to eating Eeyore and then Christopher returns with his wife to introduce her to his old friends, and when that happens they get enraged when they see him, and all of their hatred that they've built up over the years unleashes and they go on this rampage."

Really? Turning a classic children's story, into a cheesy 1980's slasher movie.

Blame Disney.

They didn’t renew the copyright on these characters.

Probably “too white” and “too male” of a story for them to do so now.

I’m surprised this and far, far worse has not been done to those characters before. Maybe a copyright agreement has now expired, leaving the storybook subjects unprotected against any kind of interpretation.

Hollywood Writers, Producers and Directors are bored people these days. They feel that they need to add tremendous amounts of violence or gayness to all heroes. I am waiting for Bambi to kill off a dozen hunters in their lodge while they are asleep!

What have we come to?

Disney couldn't renew the copyright, so can't blame them for this. The copyright period expired. Finally!

Copyright periods are too long anyway. Initially, they were for seven years. Then they were extended to 14 years.

Around 1909 they were extended again to 28 years, renewable for another 28.

In 1972 they were extended to, I think, life of the author plus something, or 75 years for hired work.

In the 1990s they were extended yet again to nearly a century.

Public domain is a good thing. Copyright terms should be shorter.

Piglet better be careful. Donkey meat is an acquired taste, but everyone likes bacon.

No, they ask for copyright extensions all the time.

They have also amended the copyright law multiple times as well to extend copyright lengths, at the lobbying of companies including Disney.

Reminds me of something straight out of SNL’s “Mr. Mike’s Least-Loved Bedtime Stories”.

Some film makers, playwrights, entertainers get a perverse thrill up their spine when they can take something that is thought of as clean and pure, then debauch or somehow soil the image in the public’s mind.

There is a market for parody and satire, but some topics are better off left as is.
You don’t need to add double servings of violence or sex to every single thing.
