Six years after the release of 'Avengers: Infinity War,' a new film is making waves in the world of cinema with its ambitious crossover concept. 'Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey,' a low-budget slasher film that reimagined the beloved character Winnie the Pooh as a feral serial killer, garnered attention for its unique take on the classic children's story. Despite its modest production budget of under $50,000, the film managed to earn an impressive $5.2 million at the box office.
The creators behind 'Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey' have now unveiled their latest project, 'Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble,' set to be released in 2025. This new film will bring together a dark and twisted version of various beloved children's characters, including Winnie the Pooh, Bambi, Tinkerbell, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Tigger, Piglet, The Mad Hatter, and Sleeping Beauty.
The film aims to create an 'Avengers-like' team of villains from popular childhood stories, offering a fresh and chilling take on these iconic characters. The poster for 'Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble' features Winnie the Pooh wielding a bear trap while riding a menacing Bambi, setting the tone for the dark and chaotic narrative that awaits.
Actor-producer Scott Chambers, a key figure in the production, expressed the team's excitement for creating a villain-centric crossover event, drawing inspiration from the horror genre. The film is part of the Twisted Childhood Universe, a cinematic universe crafted by Jagged Edge Productions, which includes standalone films for characters like Bambi, Peter Pan, and Pinocchio.
'Poohniverse' promises intense and thrilling sequences as the monstrous ensemble faces off against survivors from previous films, with internal conflicts adding to the chaos. The cast includes familiar faces like Christopher Robin, Wendy Darling, and Tigger, with more announcements expected in the future.
With 'Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble,' Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios are set to deliver a unique and chilling cinematic experience that pushes the boundaries of traditional storytelling.
