Summary
The upcoming horror film sequel, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, will feature a terrifying version of Tigger, a classic character from the beloved children's series.
Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield was able to craft his unique rendition of the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh characters following their entry into the public domain in 2022.
The forthcoming release of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 in February 2024 will perfectly align with the expiration of Tigger's copyright, granting the filmmaker the opportunity to incorporate this iconic character into the film.
New images released by IGN offer audiences their first glimpse at the portrayal of Tigger in the horror film sequel, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2. Departing from the beloved children's characters created by A. A. Milne, this low-budget slasher production reimagines them as savage killers who have turned feral as a result of being abandoned by Christopher Robin. Despite receiving criticism, the first movie managed to generate $5.2 million in global box office revenue, an impressive feat considering its meager budget of $100,000. The announcement of a sequel came in January 2023, and the film is slated for release in February 2024.
The IGN images also reveal the inclusion of another iconic character from the Winnie-the-Pooh series: the anthropomorphic tiger known as Tigger. This chilling depiction of Tigger, shown with a bloodied face, is distinctly different from the beloved version portrayed by Disney that most audiences are familiar with. One of the images captures Tigger in the midst of a pile of feathers stained with blood, possibly hinting at a fatal encounter with Owl. Take a look at the images below:
