In an interview with Variety, director Rhys-Waterfield said the response to these first images has been “absolutely crazy.” He added: “Because of all the press and stuff, we’re just going to start expediting the edit and getting it through post-production as fast as we can,” said Waterfield. “But also, making sure it’s still good. It’s gonna be a high priority.”
Rhys-Waterfield explained that in the film Pooh and Piglet are “the main villains… going on a rampage” after being abandoned by a college-bound Christopher Robin. “…he’s not [given] them food, it’s made Pooh and Piglet’s life quite difficult. Because they’ve had to fend for themselves so much, they’ve essentially become feral,” Waterfield clarified. “So they’ve gone back to their animal roots. They’re no longer tame: they’re like a vicious bear and pig who want to go around and try and find prey.”
Rhys-Waterfield also said that balancing the line between horror and comedy was the biggest challenge. “When you try and do a film like this, and it’s a really wacky concept, it’s very easy to go down a route where nothing is scary and it’s just really ridiculous and really, like, stupid. And we wanted to go between the two.”
