MITCH’S MOVIE MASH: ‘WINNIE-THE-POOH: BLOOD AND HONEY 2’ – HONEY IS THICKER THAN BLOOD

SPOILER ALERT: NONE, BECAUSE MITCHELL ACCIDENTALLY REVIEWED DISNEY’S 1966 WINNIE THE POOH AND THEY HONEY TREE
TRIGGER WARNINGS: YES, HONEY

The whimsical, wistful, but ultimately triumphant return of A. A. Milne’s beloved character Winnie-the-Pooh caught both myself and Ampersat Todd completely off-guard, coming into the film as we were expecting not a cuddly Pooh bear and his loveable throwback cast of anthropomorphic friends, but a cynical gory slasher film that would beride and ultimately dismiss the moral fabric of contemporary English society. Rather myself and my movie dog @Todd would recommend this sweet, endearing animation to all viewers, especially little kids.

Once we clicked PLAY on our Betamax antique home entertainment movie recorder, the hunt for honey was on! Winnie-the-Pooh spends most of the movie craving honey, something many movie reviewers can probably relate to, if you recall for example when all snacks and drinks were forbidden in U.S. cinemas following the outbreak of Covid-19 in 2020. Winnie-the-Pooh (who is just Pooh or Pooh Bear to his friends) makes the rounds of the Hundred-Acre Wood visiting different animal pals and trying to convince them to help him in several zany schemes to steal honey from the greedy bees, the ultimate of which lands him in a real jam! Yes, he gets stuck in a tree, wedged into a hole in fact, and the rest of the film is devoted to various Pooh rescue operations.

Needless to say, there is a happy ending, and Winnie-the-Pooh finally gets his honey! Yumm! The runtime is a little disappointing, REELING in as it does at a mere 26 minutes. It is a Walk Disney Production and also available wherever you get your blood honey.

5 out of 5 puppies.
