[Entertainment Channel/Comprehensive Report] The copyright of the original children's book series of "Winnie the Pooh" created by AA Milne officially entered the "public domain" in early 2022, and the public enjoys the rights of secondary creation.

British director Rhys Waterfield seized the opportunity and launched the bloody Winnie the Pooh movie "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" in the same year.

Unexpectedly, it was reported that the film was canceled in Hong Kong and Macau, and the outside world speculated that it might have something to do with Pooh's insult to China.

"Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" was originally scheduled to be released in Hong Kong this Thursday (23rd), and it also had a pre-screening earlier.

Unexpectedly, the film was about to be released, but the film fan professional suddenly announced that due to "technical reasons", it would cancel the scheduled event on the 21st, and then the film company issued a statement announcing the cancellation of the release in Hong Kong and Macau, without further explaining the reasons for the cancellation.

As soon as the news came out, people could not help but suspect that the CCP authorities were behind it.

During Chinese President Xi Jinping's tenure, he was often insinuated with jokes about Winnie the Pooh by the outside world. Gradually, "Winnie the Pooh" became a taboo term and was banned on Weibo.

In addition, Hong Kong's new censorship law "Film Censorship Regulations" will be launched in 2021. If the content has concerns about endangering national security, the government has the right to withdraw the film license, and even ask for a ban on distribution. Based on the above reasons, it seems that the cancellation of "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" is unreasonable. There are traces to follow.
