There isn't an official trailer for the movie as of now, and the release date has yet to be confirmed.
Not the same as Disney's Winnie the Pooh
For clarification, "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" is not a Disney production.
The film takes artistic license from the original Winnie the Pooh character created by English author A. A. Milne in 1926.
It is not the same as the Disney-licensed Winnie the Pooh character who famously wears a red shirt.
Winnie the Pooh now in the public domain
On Jan. 1, 2022, Milne's Winnie the Pooh universe, which includes the plot, dialogue, setting, events, and characters, had entered the public domain.
This means that anyone can use the original iterations of Winnie the Pooh for any creative work, such as movies, musical and plays.
However, according to Jennifer Jenkins, director of the Center for the Study of the Public Domain at Duke University, the rights to the Winnie the Pooh universe post-1926 still belongs to Disney.
The character Tigger is also not in the public domain as he was introduced in 1928.
