Just a few days ago, Pukhniverse released the first trailer for his next film, Bambi: Reckoning. The film, a twisted version of the children’s story of a fawn, will tell a terrifying tale involving a mutant deer bent on revenge. The idea is as crazy as it is fun for horror and monster fans. But the film belongs to the aforementioned cinematic universe. A very special saga that began very recently, but is designed to give a lot to talk about.
Non-horror moviegoers may have never heard of Pukhniverse. However, everyone knows Winnie the Pooh, Bambi, Peter Pan or Pinocchio. These legendary characters from children’s stories and films have marked generations. And now the company Jagged Edge Productions decided to give all his stories a dark new approach. It all started last year 2023 when a movie called Winnie the Pooh: Honey and Blood.
The film received a lot of attention due to its dark premise. The film followed some Winnie the Pooh And pig anthropomorphic animals abandoned Christopher Robin when he goes to university. Their owner’s selfishness completely upsets them and turns these two creatures into terrible killers with a huge thirst for blood. The B-series slasher idea became possible because the copyright of the original book about the friendly yellow teddy bear went into the public domain in January 2022.
The film is, as expected, terrible. Entertainment without any meaning, perfect for fans of bloody, cheesy serial killer movies. But aside from living up to those expectations, it turned out to be a surprise, becoming a box office success. Its budget was only $100,000, but it grossed nearly $5 million. For this reason, the studio did not hesitate to take the next step: creating a franchise. He Pukhniversealso called The distorted universe of childhood (TCU), the process was underway.
The future of the Pukhniverse Universe
Once the idea for the saga emerged, he had no choice but to start working on the next films. While it was announced, as it could not be otherwise, Winnie the Pooh: Honey and Blood 2. The success of the original film led to the inevitable sequel, which will hit theaters on August 23 this year. But in 2024 Pukhniverse there will also be a second film, the aforementioned Bambi: Reckoningwhich will premiere on December 5th.
Not only that, although there are no dates at the moment, two more films have been announced for 2024. On the one hand, there is Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, which will ruin everyone’s favorite story of the boy who never grew up and lived in Neverland. On the other hand, this Pinocchio without stringsa new version of the doll that wanted to become a real boy.
Two more parts of the saga are announced in 2025. First, Winnie the Pooh: Honey and Blood 3, the third installment in what appears to be a stellar monster of a franchise. And finally, Poohniverse: Monsters Gather, a parody that pokes fun at Marvel’s Avengers even in its poster. A priori, that’s all, although it is possible that other films will appear in the future if the success continues.
