Not really enough to justify it as while the personalities are different, Christophe robin was friend with the animal creatures in said wood and we haven’t seen how the rest of the individual characters will be like

The Twisted Childhood Universe is a British [[SlasherMovie Slasher]]-Horror movie franchise by the independent Jagged Edge Productions. It consists of adaptations of public domain children's media characters where the characters themselves are the killers.
The series began in 2023 with the release of ''Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey'', which was announced very shortly after the [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh original book by A.A. Milne]] entered the PublicDomain. Despite being critically maligned, the film's [[NoBudget near nonexistent budget]] and widespread online publicity by people who couldn't believe someone would make it resulted in it being a financial success, inspiring creator/director Rhys Frake-Waterfield and his associates to plan several more movies set in the same SharedUniverse (with the ironic exclusion of their first movie) based on other public domain children's works like ''Franchise/PeterPan'', ''Literature/{{Pinocchio}}'', and etc.
The released and planned future films include:
* ''Film/WinnieThePoohBloodAndHoney'' (2023) [[note]] Retconned into an in-universe RippedFromTheHeadlines movie in its sequel[[/note]]
* ''Film/WinnieThePoohBloodAndHoney2'' (2024)
* ''Bambi: The Reckoning'' (2024)
* ''Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare'' (2024)
* ''Pinocchio: Unstrung'' (2024)
* ''Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble'' (2025)
* ''Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3'' (TBA)
!!Tropes shared across the films:
* AdaptationalBadass: The films take characters who were noncombatants in their source material and twist them into killing machines. These include Pooh and company, plus Bambi.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The Twisted Childhood Universe takes public domain children's media protagonists and transforms them into serial killers. Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Owl have undergone this trope in the ''Blood and Honey'' films, and Bambi, Peter Pan, and Pinocchio are set to follow suit.
* BloodierAndGorier: There wasn't that much violence in the source material, whereas these films, being horror films first and foremost, crank up the gore to the next level.
