New Horror Movie “Mickey vs Winnie” Puts a Slasher Spin on Your Childhood
The horror movie genre has your childhood locked firmly in its sights with the latest crossover storyline – Mickey vs Winnie.
Truly, this was bound to happen when Disney relinquished its hold on Mickey’s copyright in January 2024. iHorror is beginning production on “Mickey vs Winnie” “a groundbreaking horror slasher directed by Glenn Douglas Packard . This isn’t just any horror slasher; it’s a visceral showdown between twisted versions of childhood favorites Mickey Mouse and Winnie-the-Pooh. ‘Mickey vs. Winnie’ brings together the now-public-domain characters from A. A. Milne’s ‘Winnie-the-Pooh’ books and Mickey Mouse from the 1920s Steamboat Willie cartoon in a VS battle like never before seen.”
As hard as it may to imagine these childhood friends as anything but familiar, sweet faces, the plotline is spooky and strong. Beginning in the 1920’s the film introduces us to two escaped convicts who unfortunately stumble into a curse where (of course) a darkness takes hold of them. In perfect horror troupe form, the story then picks up one hundred years later with a group of pals who just to explore a nice day in nature. Nature being the cursed forest (of course). Thus unfolds a terror-filled adventure chock full of all the blood spillage and horror that you didn’t even know Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh were capable of.
Director Glenn Douglas Packard shared: “Mickey vs Winnie” as a tribute to horror fans’ love for iconic crossovers, which often remain just a fantasy due to licensing restrictions. “Our film celebrates the thrill of combining legendary characters in unexpected ways, serving up a nightmarish yet exhilarating cinematic experience,”.
