The twisted “Poohniverse” expands with Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey II, now playing in U.S. theaters through tonight only, and a third installment is on the way soon.
Variety confirms this morning that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 has been given the green light, with Jagged Edge Productions officially ordering up the third film.
Variety notes, “According to the producers, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 will have a bigger budget than the previous films and will introduce new characters from the original Winnie-the-Pooh stories, including Rabbit, the heffalumps and the woozles.”
We also know that in addition to Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3, the team is conjuring up horror movies based on Bambi, Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty and more.
The end game? They actually do have one in mind! As we recently learned, all these individual movies will pave the way for Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble in 2025.
In that movie, all the monsters team up to take down the world. Naturally.
The good news for the team is that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey II has won over even some of the harshest critics of the first film, with most agreeing it’s a huge step up in quality.
Paul Le wrote in his review right here on Bloody Disgusting, “This flawed but enjoyable sequel defies expectations — albeit low ones — and outperforms its predecessor on most levels.”
“On top of a better story, Blood and Honey II benefits from higher production values,” Paul’s review continues. “The detailed creature designs and suits are more convincing than before; they don’t just look like actors in masks anymore. The extra funding also allows for elaborate set-pieces, including a rave-set mass murder and a brief but exciting chainsaw sequence.”
Tonight is the final night to see Blood and Honey II in theaters, as the Fathom Events run was for March 26 – March 28 only. So if you want to see it on the big screen, get out there tonight.
