Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey

Oh bother…

You know how you drive by an accident and you just can’t help but look. Welcome to Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.

I knew this was horrendous before I watched it. It had 3% on Rotten Tomatoes. 3%? I watched a Dan Murrell video about the first half of the year and he spoke on how bad this film was. I couldn’t help myself.

I rented Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey on Vudu and it was just terrible. It looked cheap, the acting was ridiculous, things happened that made no sense. There was really no story after the animated opening that was the best part of the film.

When Christopher Robin (Nikolai Leon) grew up, he left for college, deserting his friends in the 100 Acre Woods. They faced hardship and problems, not having food to survive, pushing them to make some unexpected choices (who knew Eeyore would be so yummy?). Eating their friend drove Winnie the Pooh and Piglet mad, sending them into a murderous, bloody killing spree.

Not sure what happened to Owl or Rabbit who were there at the beginning. Maybe I missed it.

There were so many characters that just showed up out of nowhere to give Pooh someone to brutally kill. None of them had any sort of development. Even Christopher Robin, who had returned with his wife, was nothing more than just a body.

The look of Pooh and Piglet was absolutely laughable. They also looked very little like the iconic characters as this could have been any type of unnamed characters. The killings were bloody and, of course, the lacking characters did a ton of stupid stuff.

The ending was also remarkably anticlimactic. It was just over. I had to go back and rewatch a couple of scenes because I did not know how it was now over… albeit mercifully.

Dan Murrell was right. Don’t watch this. I am ashamed to have contributed to the financial well being of this travesty. Don’t let my pain be for naught. Skip Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. You’ll be glad you did.

It was mostly in focus so….
