Bruce Campbell Voices Owl in ‘A Winnie-the-Pooh Christmas’ Animated Film
Bruce Campbell isn’t joining the Poohniverse (unlike Robert Englund), but he’s lending his booming voice to a new Winnie-the-Pooh movie.
Hear the Evil Dead star as Owl in the trailer for A Winnie-the-Pooh Christmas below.
The animated film hits VOD tomorrow, November 21, from Sharknado studio The Asylum.
In the heartwarming holiday adventure, Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends awaken to find all their Christmas gifts mysteriously vanished.
Determined to save the season, the friends embark on a whimsical winter journey filled with Heffalumps, Woozles, snowy surprises, and the kind of gentle mischief only the Hundred Acre Wood can deliver. Along the way, they discover that the greatest gift of all is the joy and love of chosen family.
Jimmy Gadd writes and directs the modern take on the classic characters created by A.A. Milne.
In addition to Campbell, the voice cast includes Angela Cole and Bianca Wallace.
A Winnie-the-Pooh Christmas kicks off a new slate of seasonal animated films from The Asylum, with A Very Winnie Easter and A Winnie-the-Boo Halloween already in development.
This isn’t Campbell’s first foray into voice acting, as the horror icon has voiced characters in the likes of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Cars 2, “Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure,” and several Evil Dead video games.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
