Why doesn't WinnieThePoohBloodAndHoney feature a nightmare version of Tigger, too? 🤔 Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield: 'Tigger... isn't in the public domain. So he wasn't allowed to be used in the story.' 😯
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey creator explains why Tigger will not be in new horror film. The classic literary characters created in the 1920s by A.A. Milne, with illustrations by E.H. Shepard, became widely recognized through the stories' animated Disney adaptations.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Frake-Waterfield now explains his decision to leave Tigger out of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey. In an interview with SFX Magazine , he talks about directing the upcoming slasher film, its unlikely villains, and his own take on the original Winnie-the-Pooh book. He also explains the risks of infringing on Disney's famous representation of the literary characters:
When we were coming up with this we knew that we would have to be really careful about what elements we used. We couldn't be influenced by the Disney version at all, so I consciously didn't watch anything by them. I went through the book and I purposefully tried to make our Pooh and Piglet as distinct as I could. [...] Tigger, for example, isn't in the public domain. So he wasn't allowed to be used in the story.
Can Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood & Honey Live Up To The Hype? While Frake-Waterfield is already hyping a sequel, the new director may be at risk of counting his eggs before they hatch. The premise has made headlines due to the shocking nature of the idea of a murderous Pooh and Piglet, but the high concept alone can't speak for the overall quality of the yet-to-be-released film. For example, a recent slasher film starring Dr. Seuss' Grinch character, The Mean One, bombed with critics.
While it's too soon to say whether Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey will appeal to a wider audience, the hype is almost undoubtedly going to fill seats when it's released in theaters on February 15. As for a scary Tigger, a second installment may explore the source material further and embrace the crazy concept with even more characters.
