On a budget under $100,000, a ten-day shoot for the film took place in the Ashdown Forest of East Sussex, England, which serves as inspiration for the Hundred Acre Wood, the setting for the stories. It was produced by Jagged Edge Productions in association with ITN Studios, and went into development after the 1926 Winnie-the-Pooh book entered the public domain in the United States on 1 January 2022. The film was first announced on, where it drew widespread attention due to its premise involving a character that garnered a reputation as a beloved childhood icon and was met with divided reactions. It follows Pooh and Piglet, who have now become feral and bloodthirsty murderers, as they terrorise a group of young university women and an adult Christopher Robin when he returns to the Hundred Acre Wood many years later after leaving for college.

Shepard's Winnie-the-Pooh books and stars Craig David Dowsett as Winnie-the-Pooh and Chris Cordell as Piglet, with Amber Doig-Thorne, Nikolai Leon, Maria Taylor, Natasha Rose Mills and Danielle Ronald in supporting roles. The film serves as a horror retelling of A. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey is a 2023 British independent slasher film written, directed and produced by Rhys Frake-Waterfield.
