Garbage, of course, but ultimately f*** the Mouse.

In November 2022, two other horror films were announced: Bambi: The Reckoning and Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare based on Bambi, a Life in the Woods and Peter and Wendy, respectively.[12][13][14

I'm almost convinced Disney is putting out this movie and that Pooh movie themselves simply so they can use them as evidence as to why copyrights shouldn't ever expire lol

Apparently there's another one coming too...

‘Steamboat Willie’ Horror Film Announced as Mickey Mouse Enters Public Domain

'Steamboat Willie' is about to be adapted as a horror film, now that Mickey Mouse is in the public domain.

Edgy takes on Disney IPs? That takes me back to the early days of the internet.

And they have been cancelled as the US congress passes a law to extend copyright to 200 years and the Supreme Court votes unanimously to grant Disney an injunction against these pirates.

Really though, doesn't surprise me. Like I said you won't see them at Cineplex but there's a massive cottage industry that cranks out all these low budget slasher films, so they're well positioned with cast crew & writers to immediately jump on the new Disney public domain. Like just look at the lead character's (Mickey) Simon Phillip's imdb page, just an endless parade of mostly 4/10 star thrasher/thriller flicks.

The public loses on both fronts here.

1. Disney is allowed to keep their greedy hands on copyrighted material when they are a company that has been largely build on public domain.

2. We get absolute trash like Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey.

I can't wait for the Tigger movie

You won't have to wait long. That's him in the upcoming Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey 2. He couldn't be in the first "movie" because he was still protected by copyright, due to not being introduced until the second book.

Im waiting for Itchy and Scratchy movie.

I have a friend who is involved in this genre of movies. Disney is not pleased lol.

Have they had to change anything because of Disney? I would imagine their lawyers are looking for anything they could sue for to keep this stuff as distanced as possible.

For one, any reference to "Mickey Mouse". I'm not sure how "Mickey's Mouse Trap" will survive litigation with regards to the title. Mickey Mouse it trademarked by Disney.

Here's a good article which explains it:

"New versions of Mickey Mouse remain under copyright. Copyright applies to creative characters, movies, books, plays, songs and more. And as it happens, Mickey Mouse is also trademarked.

"Trademark law is entirely about protecting brands, logos and names — like Mickey Mouse as a logo, or the name Mickey Mouse," McLeod says."

For movies which are not in public domain, basically any character that is referenced has to have the word "parody" after it. That's not just within the movie itself, but any press or discussion about such character as it pertains to the production.

I can't wait for the Tigger movie

It'll be a Highlander crossover.

"The wonderful thing about Tiggers!"

(Pumps shotgun)

"Is there can only be one."

I like low budget B horror movies. My wife and I got a kick out of Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey. I've heard Peter Pan and Bambi are two of the next movies to be coming from the Horror world. Bring on more of these famous cartoon character horror movies. Good for a laugh
