A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh entered the public domain this year, which means that making a film adaptation requires no royalties to the author’s estate.
The result of this legal change is Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. Entertainment Weekly reports that this new film imagines a murderous Pooh and Piglet hunting down and slaying humans who stray into the Hundred Acre Wood.
The trailer suggests that many years have passed since Christopher Robin abandoned his childhood stuffed animals. Now he is returning with his fiancée. They venture in the Hundred Acre Woods to find that Pooh and Piglet resent his departure and mean to express their rage with blood.
