• "Something's Wrong with Piglet" (15:40, HD) is the making-of for "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey," featuring interviews (conducted via video conference) with producer Scott Jeffrey, writer/director Rhys Frake-Waterfield, and actors Natasha Tosini and Danielle Scott. The viral sensation of the picture is identified, with a simple IMDB posting turning the production from a no-budget feature few would likely see into a major event. Such attention sent the production into a panic, with Jeffrey and Frake-Waterfield suddenly desperate for additional money to make the endeavor more cinematic, ending up with a roughly $60,000 budget. More details are added about the shoot, which had the filmmakers scrambling to complete shots, and Jeffrey mentions the project was substantially darker at one point, with investors demanding more of a slasher film. The endeavor was ultimately completed over multiple shooting periods, using cast and crew new to the industry, including Tosini, who shares her casting story, along with Scott. Some BTS information is shared, and there's a somewhat strange tone to the conversation, with the interviewees downplaying the seriousness of the picture, reinforcing its comedic intent. Plans for a sequel are shared, with Rhys-Waterfield promising a more macabre, polished continuation with additional beloved literary characters used to destroy all humans.
