"Oh, bother".Pooh when Rhys Frake-Waterfield flanderized both him and Piglet in Blood and Honey.

Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet are the main antagonists of the infamous 2023 British independent slasher film *Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey* and it's sequel Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 that serves as a horror retelling of A.A. Milne's original 1926 book which entered the public domain in 2022.

While they were good characters in the original book and Disney version, they got awfully flanderized in their horror re-imagining film.

## Why They Intentionally Deserve to Be Abandoned

### Both

1. Similar to Ren and Stimpy from *Ren and Stimpyː Adult Party Cartoon,* Bobby Generic from *Never Before Seen Bobby's World Video*, Fleegle, Bingo and Drooper from *The Banana Splits Movie*, The Grinch from *The Mean One*, Cinderella from the upcoming *Cinderella's Curse*, Bambi from the upcoming Bambi: The Reckoning, and Peter Pan from the upcoming Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare, Pooh and Piglet both got derailed from being wholesome children's characters to becoming reimagined as evil bloodthirsty horror movie villains.
2. They ruined the vacation of a group of college girls that were renting a cabin in a 100 Acre Wood by killing them all one by one and even killed Lara by **squishing** her head using a **car.** The original and Disney versions of Pooh and Piglet would never do such a thing.
3. They are psychopaths, as they show no remorse for killing everyone except Christopher that were in the 100 Acre Wood because he left them for college to become a doctor. **Just because somebody leaves you for college doesn't mean you should start killing people.**
4. They incompetently don't even know how to defend themselves as they never even build their own homes and worst of all, **they, alongside Owl and Rabbit ate Eeyore and then selfishly blamed humanity for their own crime after that.**
5. The film tries so hard to paint both Pooh and Piglet as tragic villains, but they end up coming off as being too lazy and incompetent to try and fend for themselves, only relying on Christopher Robin to bring them food.
6. Their costumes are extremely ugly, unfaithful, unconvincing and nightmarish, giving that they're just two guys in masks.
7. Given how much attention the film got due to its premise, it is most certainly that the reputation of both the original book and Disney versions of Winnie-the-Pooh has become completely ruined.
8. Both Craig David Dowsett and Chris Cordell did bad jobs portraying them.
9. They are one of the reasons why *Blood and Honey* has received a poor reception.

### **Pooh**

1. First off, he got flanderized as he went from a silly bear who loved honey and cared about Christopher to an evil bloodthirsty bear who is obsessed with nothing but human blood and killing people for no motive or reason at all.
2. He is mostly responsible for Lara's death since he was the one who drove the car that squished her head.
3. His design looks ugly, lazy and unfaithful. His mask in particular looks stupid and at the same time looks like he wants to ridicule Xi Jinping, China's president.
	* Most of the time his mask has the same goofy smile in almost all of the movie and the scenes where he does change his facial expressions are also laughably uncanny.
4. He never gets his comeuppance for killing millions of people like Lara and gets away with it making him a karma houdini unlike Piglet who gets killed by Alice for killing Mary.
5. His smile is stupid and it's his only show of any emotion, he doesn't show any other emotion.
6. He is shown to be a creep to the girls as well, as for example, in one scene, he attempts to remove Maria's bra. **That is extremeley sussy, disgusting, weird, perverted and creepy.**

### **Piglet**

1. First off, Piglet has also gotten flanderized, as he went from a cute little pig who also cared about Christopher into an absolute killer hog who is also obsessed with killing people.
	* In fact, his flanderization is worse than Pooh's.
2. He is responsible for Christopher's wife, Mary's death.
3. His design is absolutely terrible as his mask looks more like a distorted version of Pumbaa from *The Lion King* and doesn't look ANYTHING like his original design. His design got worse in the second film as he now looks like some obese guy cosplaying as him.
4. He doesn't talk in the movie and instead he only makes pig sounds, which is unusual since in the original book and Disney versions he could talk. (Though to be fair, he and Pooh made a pact not to speak again at the beginning of the movie after eating Eeyore.)

## Redeeming Qualities

1. They were much better characters in the original book and Disney version and have massively redeemed themselves in the new Disney Junior series Playdate with Winnie the Pooh as they go back to their original and classic personalities. The same goes with the rest of the cast. But sadly they reverted to their flanderization in the second film.
	* They are also thankfully not canon to the Disney and book versions of themselves. As those versions remain likable.
2. Unlike Pooh, Piglet gets his comeuppance for killing Mary, Christopher's wife as he gets killed by Alice.
3. You can hilariously laugh at how bad they are giving the "so bad, it's good" vibe.
4. Speaking of Pooh's design, it massively improved in the second film, as he now makes facial expressions.
5. Because of their awful flanderization and them killing people, they are clearly made to be hated.
