I have not been too enthusiastic about what I have seen of the recent crop of horror movies adapted from characters recently introduced in the public domain, like Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse because (particularly in the case of the former) they seem to forget why people loved them in the first place.

Now, as I understand it is not a profit-making venture, which is good because Spider-Man doesn’t come into the public domain till 2057 or 2058 and Sony (which has the motion picture rights) might not be too happy about it otherwise.
