The director of the upcoming Winnie the Pooh horror movie has confirmed that he wants to make a “twisted” horror universe with other childhood characters getting turned into monsters. After Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey releases on February 15, there could be many more films like it to come.
Rhys Frake-Waterfield told The Hollywood Reporter that one of these will be a Peter Pan movie featuring a “heavily obese” Tinkerbell who is recovering from drug use. Another movie is Bambi: The Reckoning, which depicts the lovable baby deer as a killing machine. If Frake-Waterfield’s vision comes to life, we might see crossovers like Marvel does with its superhero characters.
“The idea is that we’re going to try and imagine they’re all in the same world, so we can have crossovers,” he said. “People have been messaging saying they really want to see Bambi versus Pooh.”
