Woe to the fucking wicked.

No one is standing up for the wrongness of the heffalump movie?

Heffalumps and Woozles are supposed to be scary, dammit. There have to be things in the world that are scary. Having a cuddly heffalump really undermines their appearance in earlier stuff. Not everything can be just misunderstood.

Hey. New board.

Well, seeing as my familiarity with Winnie the Pooh begins and ends with the half-memories I have of the weird pseudo-live-action version I watched when I was some age less than 7, I didn't even know that.

(Yes, yes, I know. A. A. Milne is crying that I have no literary love for him. Someday.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Heffalumps and Woozles are supposed to be scary, dammit.

Wait, really? Maybe I read the wrong books. Or I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I'm the only one who remembers the song?

"The Heffalumps and Woozles. Beware! Beware!"

Hey. New board.

I gotta say, the Heffalump in that picture looks decidedly cuddly. And the only thing threatened in the song is the theft of honey. Hardly scary. Maybe the cuddle Heffalump in the movie DOES steal Pooh's honey!

And then Rabbit could be like "Dude. You totally shoulda bewared. He guzzled that shit and made you look a damn fool."

And Pooh would sigh and be like "Word, bunny. Word."

Then he'd put a cap in the Heffalump's ass.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think caps get popped. But I am out of touch.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

But with only three fingers, can he do the standard "horns" gesture that every bear in Da Hood knows?

Hey. New board.

Please. "Pop" is too strong a word for a kids movie. They'd replace it with the much nicer "put," obviously, so that the parents wouldn't get pissed.

Art Crawl!!!

Aren't Heffalumps and Woozles a Disney invention?
