How can they get away with this?


The Milne estate, or Disney, or somebody owns the rights to these characters. I find it hard to believe they'd license this sort of treatment.

Winnie the Pooh is in the public domain now.

That was my first thought, when I saw the poster.

reply

Pooh in public? Gross!

reply

Don't knock it till you try it!

reply

lol, well there is a poster on the Filmboards site who has talked about doing that. I guess I'm not up on all the hip new trends :(

Apparently, this bear *does* sh*t in the woods...

reply

lol. That reminds me of an interesting question I once pondered: If the pope shits in the woods and nobody hears it, is he a bear?

reply

No-one cares about Pooh these days, and he's seen as a pariah since the Chinese President has been compared to him.

Besides, who cares about a character named after FAECAL EXCREMENT???

Who hurt you as a child?

reply

You seem to know more about AMJF than even AMJF. Did YOU hurt AMJF at some point?

reply

I asked him a question. Asking questions means I know nothing about him and want to learn. See how that works?

reply

Now you're dropping a scoop of disingenuous on your shit pile!

Your original question carries an assumption that someone 'hurt' AMJF as a child. This means you seem to know something about AMJF, enough to assume AMJF was a hurt as a child and you are now merely seeking the answer as to who hurt AMJF.

Do YOU see how that works?

Of course you do.

reply

My assumption is based on his comment. But I wanted to confirm so I asked. See how that works?

As for you, based on your pointless disruption of this thread, I assume you didn’t get enough attention from your mamma as a child? She didn’t breastfeed you enough?

reply

Well, if we're going to wield the magic gibberish of Freud, you clearly are the master of projection.

I'll allow you the last word and then I'll consider this exchange concluded.

This whole chain was like one smartass failing to outsmart another smartass.

What could Pooh and Xi Jinping possibly have in common? Is the latter a big fan of honey?

reply

They say Pooh and Xi Jinping look alike, there's a meme about it.

reply

A certain amount of time after an author dies, their characters go into the public domain, which means other authors or whoever have the right to produce work featuring those characters.

This is what has happened with Winnie The Pooh.

reply

Maybe Disney now is venturing into horror films? How cool would it be if Disney purchased the rights to the Friday the 13th franchise and in each movie, Jason would wear a different Disney characters mask

reply

Winnie the Pooh is in the public domain, but Disney owns the image of WtP as presented in their animations.
