Yeah. It started a trend, didn't it?

Calling it now: The Mean One will die by way of his heart exploding when it grows three sizes too big. ;)

These things are going to be the true legacy of The Asylum-level "films", aren’t they…

Says in theaters December 9th. Guess they won't be releasing it free online as originally reported.

It could do far more emotional damage than the original ever did!

Except, of course, that--as the header notes--Pooh and Bambi are public domain, and the Grinch, let alone Jim Carrey's Grinch, is not.
Bambi can get away with the Brit-Asylum producers taking down their pants and doing neener-neener dances at lawyers, but other fans are going to run into a bit of problems...You don't mess with Audrey Geisel's estate.

The thing is, these all look like SNL parodies.

Missed opportunity not having Thumper say "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all".

Animated film in the works about kid versions of pooh aimed for families in the works for theatres followed by a tv show--and not by disney.

I’ve definitely seen baby Pooh character images, I think maybe on a poster, though not in actual animation. I’m sure they must have merched something like that though…
