The classic Winnie the Pooh story is being reimagined as a brutal horror film titled Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. Fans have already been eager to see how such iconic characters as Pooh and Piglet will fare as bloodthirsty slasher villains. And while we’ve already had a few glimpses at their new incarnations, fans have now received their first look at Christopher Robin in Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey as well.
As shared via IGN, in addition to Christopher Robin, the new Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey images also reveal some fantastic looks at the film’s villains. This includes a shot of Pooh standing in front of a fiery blaze that should give certain shots from Halloween Kills a run for their money.
Here are the images including the new look at Christopher Robin:

It’s certainly interesting getting to see our first look at Christopher Robin in the film. It appears that the film’s “story is a sort of twisted version of Toy Story 3,” and that both Pooh and Piglet end up “going feral in the Hundred Acre Wood after Christopher Robin goes to college.” As such, the image with Christopher Robin we see here appears to be a flashback sequence. It’ll certainly be exciting seeing what will happen regarding the rest of the film’s narrative. These absolutely are not the friendly stuffed pals that fans will remember from the original storybook.
Rhys Frake-Waterfield both wrote and directed the horror film from a screenplay inspired from the public domain characters created by A.A. Milne.
The cast of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey includes Amber Doig-Thorne, Maria Taylor, and Danielle Scott.
Fans can look forward to seeing Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey in theaters for a special one-day event on February 15, 2023. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates on the highly-anticipated horror film as we have them.
