Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey has been universally panned – but as our favourite characters enter the public domain, we should brace ourselves for more ✒️ _emilybootle
Extreme adaptations in this vein are closely related to “fan-fiction”: fans use their favourite characters as jumping off points for their own stories. Amateur fan-fiction online – which is subject to copyright law but, due to being difficult to moderate and relatively unimpactful, rarely actionable – tends to be even more liberal with the source material, often involves a sexual scenario you wish you’d never heard of.
Natasha Tosini, and from left, Chris Cordell, and Craig David Dowsett in a scene from ‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey’ villain Voldemort having sex with the Pokemon character Pikachu; another details the sexual relationship between the Giant Squid – again, from– and Hogwarts castle. For creators of these adaptions, of course, there’s a great appeal: characters you already know and love taken intoNot all post-copyright adaptations have been so crude.
Yet unless you are a particular fan of Sherlock, you may feel we have reached saturation point. And as more and more iconic figures come out of copyright – Superman, Batman and Spider-Man are all due within a decade or so – more and more bastardisations of them will crop up as creators attempt to put their spin on much-loved stories.
