Despite being a viral sensation, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey was torn apart by critics, and writer/director Rhys Frake-Waterfield is now responding to the negative reviews. The 2023 movie served as a slasher horror take on the eponymous children’s book character, made after A.A. Milne’s 1926 book entered the public domain. Produced on a budget of $100,000, the movie was a box office smash, grossing over $5 million, but was critically panned, landing a dismal 3% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
