* {{Made of Iron}}: Pooh appears to be particularly indestructible seeing as how he not only comes out practically unscathed from having the four rednecks attack him, including having a crowbar thrown at him, he also very much survives getting crushed in between two cars, having only even been unconscious for a short time, and is able to resume to his murderous plans straight away.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Pooh and Piglet may be sadistic, bloodthirsty serial killers, but they still genuinely care about each other as friends. When Pooh hears Piglet's screams of pain as he is being bludgeoned to death by Zoe, he halts his pursuit of Maria and Jess to come to Piglet's aid. When Pooh discovers that Piglet is already dead, he is distraught and furiously kills Alice to avenge him. It's also shown that Pooh and Piglet cared for Eeyore, as they mourn him in the opening flashback and gave him a proper burial, and even keep his dismembered tail as a TragicKeepsake.

this is explained and shown in the film: after Eeyore, they started to eat humans


* WritersCannotDoMath: The exact timeline of the movie is a bit confusing. Christopher Robin left the 100 Acre Woods to go to college at 18 years old and when he returns to the 100 Acre Woods, he's 23 and engaged. In the meantime, Eeyore is eaten by the others because they suffer a harsh winter that forces them to commit cannibalism to survive. The movie states that it's only been 5 years since Christopher Robin left. The question is, how were Winnie the Pooh and his friends able to survive for 5 years without having to resort to cannibalism a second time? Why didn't the winter happen a second time?

** The original Piglet was a very timid and easily scared creature. In this film, however, he has grown into a fearless, relentless brute.

** Despite all this, the design of the Pooh mask does pretty obviously take cues from Disney's version, particularly the eyebrows and general shape of his face. Piglet's mask on the other hand looks more like a generic boar.

** In the original novels and Disney adaptations, the inhabitants of the Hundred-Acre Wood were certainly dysfunctional and a little dim, but they knew at least how to take care of themselves when Christopher wasn't around. They had houses, farmed and gathered, and kept warm during winter. Contrast with these versions who depended on Robin to feed them at all and resort to eating another in their friend group out of desperation, and then become animalistic murderers.
