The Twisted Childhood Universe (TCU) (also referred to as the Poohniverse), [1] is a British film series and shared universe of independent slasher horror films. It was conceived and created by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, and produced by the filmmaker's Jagged Edge Productions film studio. The films center around characters from children's media reimagined as murderous villains.

Contents

The franchise's first installment, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey , was met with a negative critical reception and a more mixed fan reception, though it turned a profit at the box office. The movie's quality was called into question, with criticisms directed at the script, acting, cinematography, and lack of humor; it also received five Golden Raspberry Awards. In response to this, Frake-Waterfield stated he is determined to raise the standard with the future films in the franchise. The franchise has grossed over $13 million worldwide.

Development

In 2022, after Winnie-the-Pooh entered the public domain, Jagged Edge Productions began production on a horror adaptation. [2] Upon releasing the first promotional images for the film, the movie became a viral Internet sensation. [3] After the movie's limited release, it was ultimately deemed a financial success, recouping $5 million from its small budget of $100,000. [4] Upon the monetary gain, Jagged Edge Productions announced plans to produce a sequel with a higher budget, while also stating a then-unnamed cinematic universe featuring characters from various children's stories was in development. [5] [6] [7] [8] In February 2023, it was also stated the characters in each of the individual movies will ultimately share the screen in the form of a crossover. [5] [9] [10] [11] [12]

In March 2024, Jagged Edge Productions officially announced the franchise will be titled "The Twisted Childhood Universe" while also announcing a full slate of films, culminating in a cross-over movie. [13] [14]
