TheGuardian.com - The screening of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and
Honey, a British slasher film due to be released in Hong Kong this week, has been cancelled, its distributor said on Tuesday, without giving a reason for pulling it. VII Pillars Entertainment said on its Facebook page that it was with “great regret” that the scheduled release of the film on 23 March had been cancelled. It did not give further details.
Chinese censors have in the past targeted the film’s main character, originally conceptualised by the English author AA Milne, due to memes that compare the bumbling bear to President Xi Jinping.
