Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey eviscerated the 44th Annual Razzies Awards field when the winners were announced on March 9. The film – which answers the age old question “What does a bear do in the woods?” – swept all five categories in which it was nominated.
The big “winner” exists solely because the original author’s copyright on a beloved Children’s Literature character expired in 2023 – in other words, the film-makers could legally use someone else’s classic creation without even crediting them.

Does a bear shiv in the woods?
I used to attend the Razzies every year. It was a great, entertaining show. Then came the pandemic. I should start attending again. (Though I don’t think I could stand seeing that many clips from Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.)
Oh gee. I have heard of that movie but I don’t think it played in my area. Will skip it for streaming also.
