What you need to know:
From the Twisted Childhood universe comes “Poohniverse”, an epic crossover with the characters of our childhood in Twisted mode.
We have the MCU (from Marvel) and the DCEU (from DC), which focus on the most iconic characters among comic book superheroes. But what would you think of a film universe that focuses on it? the most endearing characters of our childhood… but with a perverse, violent and twisted twist?
In reality, it doesn’t matter what they or we think about this idea, without sounding too aggressive, because it is already a reality. It says Twisted Childhood Universe (abbreviation: TCU) tries to put together an epic and villainous crossover with the cutest characters from cartoons, films or comics that we consumed as children.
That said, we’ll see Pooh, Pig and other characters in this story like Tigger rush into the killing. But it won’t just be them. The idea is to add names like that of Bambi, Sleeping Beauty, Tinker Bell, Peter Pan, Pinocchio and many, many more. Here we explain how it could be.
It all started with Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey
As we remember, It premiered in 2023 Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey by Rhys Frake Waterfield. The film showed us this a Pooh and a pig who are completely deranged after Christopher Robin’s abandonment. When this guy went to college, he left these beings with no love and no food, who reverted to their wildest instincts.
His wild instincts included sacrificing and eating Igor, but that wasn’t enough. Thus They go on a hunt against Robin and his girlfriend, but also against everyone to approach the (no longer) idyllic Hundred Acre Wood.
The film was put together after that the release of the intellectual property rights of Winnie the Pooh. This means that everything related to these characters has been be in the public area, and therefore everyone could use them as they wished.
And why don’t we turn them into homicidal maniacs with severe trauma related to abandonment and unfulfilled promises? Frake-Waterfield put together a very low budget film that became a worldwide box office success.
And when we say “very low,” we’re not exaggerating. Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey The film cost about $50,000 and grossed a total of $5.2 million at the box office. By any standard, this is a real success by any measure of the industry (as terrible as the film was, cough cough).
The second part of Blood and Honey
The film was so successful that a second part was given the green light: Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2. So what happens in this film other than Pooh and Piglet being hungry for blood? The twist is that Tigger and Owl join them.
The thing is, it wasn’t enough for damn Christopher Robin to abandon them to their fate, but by going into the forest, he revealed the existence of these beings to the world. But since these creatures are crazy, Their revenge extends beyond their home and now they seek to take over Ashdown, the town where Christopher Robin comes from.
The twisted childhood universe
With the success of the first film Blood and honey and the premiere of the second, The Twisted Childhood Universe (TCU) has already begun to take shape. But as I said, it won’t just be about the abandoned animals of the Hundred Acre Wood. But with everyone.
It’s prepared the production of at least three films of the children’s characters alone:
Bambi: The Reckoning
Bambi: The Reckoning The planned release date is fall 2024. The film follows a mother and her son who have to flee from “a killing machine” called Bambi. As it is, Bambi kills everything in his path…
Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare
Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare will begin filming this summer. So we can expect it by the end of 2024, especially for the Halloween dates.
This film introduces us to: a Wendy desperately tries to free her brother from Peter Pan’s clutches. But it’s not just Peter Pan that’s bad. But We will see a drug addicted Tinkerbell. And what are your medications? The same Fairy dust, which she injects like heroin.
Pinocchio: Unstrung
Pinocchio: Unstrung Production will begin in summer 2024 with the hope of being released by the end of this year. There’s no director or screenwriter yet, so it’s not clear what it will be about… but We think we can get an idea now.
Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble
And now yes. As you may have noticed, all of the films are the Twisted Childhood Universe (TCU) those on the radar will be released before the end of 2024. This is due to the release of Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble.
The reference is very obvious, but it doesn’t hurt to explain it. In 2019, the conclusion of the most important and successful phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was released Avengers: Endgamewhich brought together ALL the superheroes who had appeared in various films over the course of 11 years.
You already know: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye as the most important along with the Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, The Wasp, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Falcon… all of them. They gathered to fight Thanos after he wiped out half of the universe’s population in one move.
In one of the film’s most moving scenes, we see the captain receive a signal from Falcon, who up to that point had died in the blip. When Steve Rogers turns around, sees all the superheroes and says: “Avengers unite“. Here we leave you the scene:
For Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble We will see how the cutest characters become maniacs. Are Pooh, Pig, Bambi, Tinker Bell, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Tigger, The Mad Hatter and Sleeping Beauty.
They will team up to destroy the world, but they will also try to destroy each other. The first idea comes inspired? in the avenger while the second one comes out the franchise of Freddy vs. Jason That made them fight Jason Voorhees and Freddy Kruger from Friday the 13th And A Nightmare on Elm Street.
