The Winnie The Pooh Horror Movie Nearly Made It Through China’s Censorship Ban, Until It Didn’t

Pooh Bear in Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey

The horror movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey has been a curiosity ever since it was first announced that the A.A. Milne character was going to be adapted that way after entering the public domain. While the general consensus is that Blood and Honey isn’t very good, it’s at least understandable why some people might want to give it a look, just to see what the talk is about, but fans in China won’t have that chance as the movie has been pulled after initially getting the go-ahead.

China keeps tight control on what foreign movies get released in the nation, but Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey was set to open on 30 screens in Hong Kong this week. THR reports that now the movie has disappeared from schedules. Moviematic, an organization that had planned a pre-release screening for Tuesday night announced it had been canceled for technical reasons.
