Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey producer Scott Jeffrey has offered an update on two upcoming horror remakes starring classic Disney characters. The slasher film starring Pooh became a financial success despite earning negative reviews from critics. It earned $5.2 million at the box office against a budget of $100,000, leading to the ongoing development of more dark takes on beloved children's franchises.
We were actually meant to be shooting Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare but we weren’t quite ready with the script. I was meant to direct Bambi but switched to Peter Pan as it’s more my style. I’m pushing Peter Pan until April, and Bambi starts shooting in January. So we’re very much prepping right now. It’s going to be wild.
Jeffrey went on to confirm Pooh, Peter Pan, and Bambi's horror renditions all take place in the same universe. This means the success of the first Blood and Honey film paved the way for a cinematic universe featuring horrific versions of childhood icons. While this idea only includes Disney characters for now, it's possible other recognizable faces will become killers in the future.
