Oops.

I think the filmmaker missed a great opportunity with the sequel title though.  Should something more like "Winnie The Pooh: Tigger Kills Too"

Referring to the original book, I was told it was Winfred the Excrement.  Much more genteel and refined.

Apparently, some of the kids wanted this movie, and the teacher, understandably or not, had no real reason to research it for suitability.  I won't "give her a pass" on it, but I can at least understand her original position... which was "no position."

I generally hate the "Hallowed Evening" time of year because of all the TVHeads going bonkers over horror-type programming.  Some of it goes overboard, and overboard begets yet more overboard stuff as the years go on.

Also, its root as the hallowed evening before All Saints Day and that ir's a cross-quarter day (Samhein) in the pagan "Wheel of the Year" is all forgotten.

There's enough natural horror in the world today without creating more for "entertainment."  Oh, you know... like beheading babies and the like.

Quoting yourself for special effect, or just bored, Terry?  :rofl:

She actually, this was before Trump became the left's fascist boogeyman.
I think it was more what the word Tigger rhymes with that had to do with it.

Kind of a side note to the above is that my brother suggested naming one of cats Tigger. I said said I ain't hollering that out the door.

I don't know if it speaks well of me or ill, but I've never put "Tigger" and its rhyming reference together.

Go ahead, K Frame.  You know you have to. LOL
