Pooh & Bambi books going Public Domain

[Ben]

And probably shot and ready for release by the end of the weekend…!

[gaastra]

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

[Daniel]

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

[Ben]

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

[Daniel]

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

[gaastra]

Bambi horror film is next.

Oh deer…

[Daniel]

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.

"It's 'cos I like thumpin'…"

[Daniel]

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

[gaastra]

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.

Kinda surprised Disney never did that themselves.

[Ben]

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…

[Daniel]

Fisher Price definitely sold baby plushies.
