10 Most Horrifying Changes Of Animated Characters To Live-Action
8. Rabbit And Owl (Christopher Robin)
With their live-action Winnie the Pooh adaptation from last year, Disney faced perhaps the most difficult transformation from animation to live-action they had ever faced; what would Winnie the Pooh and the crew of the Hundred Acre Woods look like in real life?
The answer wound up being, make them look like plush dolls of animals rather than actual animals, which is at least an inventive choice. It establishes an entirely different visual aesthetic for the film and you have to admire the film sticking to its guns.
Except when it doesn't.
Inexplicably, while all the rest of the Hundred Acre Wood characters (Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga, and Roo) are all given these plush designs, Rabbit and Owl are designed as real-life animals. The result is not only an incredibly odd choice that actively takes you out of the movie but also brings about these odd and disturbing implications.
Were the other characters once real animals? Are there actual bears, pigs, tigers, or kangaroos in the Hundred Acre Woods as well? If so, where are they? If not, what did Rabbit and Owl do to them?
