The low-budget horror film, based on the bear character Winnie the Pooh, won the Razzie Award as the worst film of the year, which is handed out annually on the eve of the Academy Awards for best cinematography.
The film “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey”, whose production budget did not exceed $250,000, caused a media sensation a year ago, leading to death threats from fans who were upset by the portrayal of the cute bear as a bloodthirsty killer.
The British film benefited from the expiration of the intellectual property rights to the “Winnie the Pooh” book series by Alan Alexander Milne, which means that neither the author’s heirs nor the owner of the film rights can file a lawsuit against Disney.
Despite its apparent escape from legal proceedings, “Bilad and Honey” will not escape the negative reputation that will attach to it due to its topping the “Razzie Awards” list this year.
At the Parody Awards, which “honor” the worst works and roles of the year, the work “won” the awards for Worst Picture, Worst Director, and Worst Screenplay.
The two heroes of the work, Winnie the Pooh and his companion, “Pilgrim,” were chosen as the worst couple on screen, and the film also won the “Razzie” Award for worst remake or sequel.
Despite the embarrassment they cause, these Razzie Awards are unlikely to bother director Rhys Fricke-Waterfield, as his film grossed nearly $5 million after its global theatrical release, thanks to the controversy it sparked, with a sequel scheduled for release later in the year. This month.
The winners of the “Razzie Awards” are announced on the eve of the Academy Awards, in a move intended to mock the festive atmosphere that prevails in Hollywood during the most prominent annual awards ceremony.
Jon Voight, a former Oscar winner, won the Worst Actor Award for the thriller film “Mersi,” which received severe criticism, while Megan Fox won the Worst Actress Award for the horror and thriller film “Johnny and Clyde.”
Fox, who has previously been selected for the “Razzie” several times, won the award for Worst Supporting Actress in the second part of the action movie “Expend4bles”, for which Sylvester Stallone also won the “Razzie” Award in the category of Worst Actor in a Supporting Role.
The Golden Raspberry Awards, the official name of the Razzie, were launched in a Los Angeles living room in 1981 by former film students and Hollywood film industry professionals.
