Disney, Marvel Studios and their Avengers better watch out, Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble is coming and it’s not going to be a pretty sight. The heroes of your childhood will take a hit.
In the collective unconscious, Disney evokes childhood, innocence, purity and all these things. With harmless characters in the foreground who act more as models. Even if there are obviously villains within Mickey’s firm like Cruella. On the other hand, heroes like Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan or Bambi would not harm a fly. But that was before the birth of the Twisted Childhood Universe (TCU). The connected universe that transforms extremely gentle beings into killing machines. And now here comes Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble.
An anthology Poohniverse crossover, watch out Avengers!
What would happen if, overnight, Winnie the Pooh and Piglet turned into bloodthirsty psychopaths? The horror film Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey already answered this question, and it’s not just an isolated delirium after a night of too much drinking. This year alone, there are other horror feature films with Peter Pan Neverland Nightmare, Pinocchio Unstrung, Bambi: The Reckoning and Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey 2. A mess of projects that prepare for the release of Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble . Basically, the Avengers of this Twisted Childhood Universe, who completely twist the Disney heroes.
Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble will be directed by Rhys Jake-Waterfield, already responsible for the Winnie the Pooh films, and will arrive in 2025 without further details. “It’s going to be real carnage. We are heavily influenced by Freddy vs Jason and Avengers. We would like to see a horror film where the bad guys come together and team up to attack the survivors. We already have some incredible sets in mind that I think will really shock people.” says Rhys Jake-Waterfield (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Which heroes can form the Avengers of Horror? Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, Bambi, Tinker Bell, Pinocchio, Tigger, Piglet, Sleeping Beauty and The Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland will be in Poohniverse Monsters Assemble. And if all these nasty characters will unite to liquidate the survivors, there will also visibly be carnage within the group itself with “epic monster vs. monster sequences”. It’s hard to believe everything we write, but it’s true. What a wonderful time! Incidentally, we notice that the production went so far as to reproduce the Avengers font for the film poster.
