“Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey”looks like it might be the worst movie ever made. That said, I plan to preorder tickets and be there opening night. pic.twitter.com/SOo7MhXWbt

Some people said bluntly that they did not like what they saw in the trailer, but that they still intended to see the movie anyway.
prevnextCreativity
THAT is what's important. Even if this movie turns out to be terrible, this director gets to say "I made the FIRST Winnie the Pooh movie when he came into the public domain & it's a slasher flick."
And EVERYONE is talking about it. Mad respect to Rhys thinking outside the box.

Many commenters felt that the quality of this movie didn't matter quite as much as the spectacle of its creation and release. They hoped that Frake-Waterfield would get plenty of accolades for his creativity.

Some viewers thought that this trailer was an imperfect interpretation of the franchise – especially with other recent entries to compare it to.
prevnextStunt
ok I get it now
it’s a generic low budget horror with no real identity of it’s own EXCEPT for the fact it’s using Winnie The Pooh in an effort to drum up social media clicks
right? https://t.co/MlYoPRNO08

I hate Everything about this
It goes against everything Winnie The Pooh is and it doesn't suit it at all.
It was clearly made as a meme and that never works out. https://t.co/yoyQyZmgRr

Some criticized this trailer for using a beloved children's classic as a stunt to draw attention on social media. In many cases, these commenters did not address the issue of the public domain or wrote it off as a small concern.

the winnie the pooh movie actually makes me so mad lmao i’m so sick of shock horror that’s nothing but taking women, objectifying them, and thenbrutally and grotesquely murdering them. it’s uncreative but also just sick torture porn and ik the ppl behind it are men

It’s looks like every other shitty slasher flick…except the killer’s wearing a Winnie the Pooh mask instead of a Michael Myers or hockey mask 🙄 https://t.co/xEqHby0C81

Many critics were also against slasher films in general, feeling that the genre was tired and unimaginative.

Of course, commenters quickly became obsessed with other well-known characters and franchises becoming public domain to allow more movies like this to exist. Some proposed their personal favorites.
prevnextAlternate Pitches
"what if winnie the pooh killed people" hot topic ass premise. make a movie where he's depressed after his divorce but finds fulfillment through coaching high school basketball instead

Finally, some fans were interested in an adult Winnie the Pooh movie but thought that there were more interesting approaches than this one.
