Winnie-the-Pooh Blood and Honey 2 is a 2024 British Slasher horror film directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield. It is a sequel to Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023) which itself is a horror adaptation of A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard's Winnie-the-Pooh books.
Plot[]
Following the events of the first film, Christopher Robin flees from the Hundred Acre Wood and returns to his childhood town of Ashdown to seek help. The corpses of Maria and her friends are recovered from the woods, but Christopher is believed to be responsible and the incident is dubbed as the "Hundred Acre Massacre".
Now an outcast after being framed for the murders, Christopher goes to his hypnotherapist Samantha to deal with his childhood trauma when his twin brother Billy was kidnapped and never seen again. He also deals with repudiation from Ashdown's residents, except for his childhood friends Lexy and Finn; nobody believes in his story about Winnie-the-Pooh's and Piglet's killing spree.
Meanwhile, in the Hundred Acre Wood, Pooh and Piglet are recovering from the events of the first film. Due to a few people who believe in Christopher's story, they are forced to hide with fellow creatures Tigger and Owl, who then slaughter a group of university students in a recreational vehicle. Some hunters ambush the creatures and kill Piglet, which leads Owl to convince Pooh to attack Ashdown instead of simply waiting for more hunters to come try to kill them.
Christopher loses his job as a doctor when he confronts the only hunter who survived and returns with Samantha for another hypnotherapy. He also meets Cavendish, the hospital's janitor who also tries to deal with his own personal trauma. Cavendish reveals that he worked for Dr. Gallup, a scientist who forced him to kidnap kids around Ashdown for experiments with animal genes. He would experiment the kids day and night to make sure the transformation work. He thought they died and buried them in the Hundred Acre Wood and ended up back as half-animal, half-human hybrids with an enhanced healing factor.
When Cavendish commits suicide out of guilt, Christopher learns that Billy was among the victims and was resurrected as Pooh. He decides to warn the town about the creatures' inminent attack, but faces ridicule and skepticism. Pooh, Tigger, and Owl embark on a murderous rampage through Ashdown and kill several residents on the way, including Samantha and Finn.
Pooh kills Christopher's parents Alan and Daphne and kidnaps his younger sister Bunny. Lexy takes Christopher to a rave party at a warehouse, where the creatures slaughter all the partygoers. Christopher and Lexy manage to injure Tigger and learn that Bunny was kidnapped. They return to the Hundred Acre Wood and fight Pooh with a chainsaw, who easily subdues them both. When Christopher calls Pooh by his real name, Billy, and tries to remember his childhood, Pooh sets out to kill him for abandoning them, leading to Eeyore being cannibalized in the past.
Christopher kills Pooh with an axe before he reunites with Lexy and Bunny. Footage from the creatures' killing spree on Ashdown are reached to the police, leading Christopher to be vindicated from the murders and the police starts mobilizing their force to hunt down the crossbreeds. Owl, having survived, along with Tigger recovers the bodies of Pooh and Piglet, and promises to find a way to revive them with the help of Rabbit, Kanga, and Roo.

Trivia[]

- Waterfield confirmed that the film will have a bigger budget than the last one and will have a bigger cast.
- Rabbit is confirmed to be appearing via a Twitter reply.
- Kanga, a character left out of the first film due to Rhys not wanting to oversaturate too many characters from the books, she was confirmed to appear in the film by the Twitter as well to a reply based around the "Kanga with Hair" meme.

- Eeyore could appear in a flashback prior to his death as Scott Jeffery's Q&A also teased it with a "Maybe."
- The first teaser poster for Winnie-The-Pooh 2 was released in January 2023 (days after the premiere in Mexico), being an art made by Instagram user Brian Guzmán, being a number 2 in yellow with blood stains. and the phrase "Friends will gather... To take revenge" which Scott Jeffrey and Rhys Frake-waterfield saw, decided to make it an official poster for the sequel because they loved the concept. Until recently that was the official logo but a few days ago we had a new version also made by Brian now being a number 2 or "II" formed from claw scratch shapes.
- Kanga, Roo, and Rabbit might appear later in the film due to not being present in the trailer and some marketing or a a post-credits scene as either as sketches or uncredited actors.

The creatures of Hefflalumps and Woozles will also appear in the third film.
