“Through instagram I have received messages saying ‘how dare you?’ or ‘why are you doing this to Winnie the Pooh? Well, it’s not for children and they are different things, maybe there are people who adored Winnie when they were little, they grew up, they started to like other things and now we have this version that is totally different”, detailed the creator.
Both the cast and the creators and producers were physically at the presentation, which took place south of the Mexico Cityfrom the film produced by Scott Jeffrey based on the 1926 character. This in order not to find legal conflicts with Disney after the company lost the rights to the characters in February of last year, so Pooh entered the public domain.
“We had to base it on the original so it looks a little different, that’s why he doesn’t have the red shirt and our Winnie luckily decided to wear pants,” Jeffrey said jokingly.
