Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 Sequel is Coming to Shiver Your Timbers
The beloved classic tale Winnie the Pooh, known for its innocence and sweetness, took an unexpected turn with the release of its horror spinoff Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, filled with blood and violence, where the funny, sweet lover is presented as the goriest, bloodthirsty character. Now the horrific tale of the bear has been announced for its second adventure. The director has also confirmed a much darker, more violent narrative than the previous story, perhaps introducing more menacing characters into the tale.
Winnie the Pooh’s sequel, Blood and Honey 2 confirmed
The previous slasher spin on Disney’s classic tale, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, was hit with a foreseen success that has led to its gory, outrageous sequel. Given that the horrific debut made an astounding $4.9 million worldwide with a microbudget of less than $100,000. Despite his 3% Rotten Tomato score, the movie was relatively well-received by the audience.
The director, Rhys Frake-Waterfield, confirmed that the upcoming thriller will be crafted on a much larger scale than the initial one. Also, he is expecting to release the violent flick in February as a counterpart to Valentine’s vibe.
“Blood and Honey 2 will have five times the budget of the first one, but it could be substantially more than that as well, which would do absolute wonders for the film.“
The dark twist in Blood and Honey sparks the sequel
In, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, Disney’s sweet and loving characters, Pooh and Piglet, are portrayed as wicked and vile criminals seeking revenge against Christopher Robin, who is depicted abandoning them, leading them to transform into ruthless savages. At the end of the movie, we see Christopher Robin manage to kill the bear in a highly violent way by crushing him between the car and setting it on fire.
However, Pooh rises from the flame, indicating that it possesses supernatural qualities, igniting not just one but more sequels. Additionally, in the ending, Pooh utters his very first word to Robin, “You left”, after refusing to spare Maria’s life. This also suggests a sequel with more vocals and a maniacal Pooh bear.
Blood and Honey 2 introduces Tigger and chainsaw-wielding Pooh
However, the cast of the movie is not fully confirmed. As per the reports, not many characters will return to the sequence. The character of Pooh will be played by Craig David Dowsett and will be introduced with a new chainsaw. There’s a small chance that Chris Cordell could return as Piglet too.
As per the official X account of the movie, Nikolai Leon will be reprising the role of Christopher Robin. The prominent character from Disney, Tigger, who was absent in the prequel, is likely to be introduced in Blood and Honey 2. Apart from the primary character, Blood and Honey 2 will probably include additional human characters who are slated to fall prey to Pooh and Piglet.
