Here is Waterfield, who also co-wrote the slasher flick, response (from Variety.com) to fourth grader seeing his film:
It’s mad, isn’t it? I think it’s crazy. Because when you watch the film there is no way you can mistake it for a child’s film, literally in the first 10 minutes, crazy stuff’s happening. And [the characters] look scary. So I don’t know how — because they said it went on 20 to 30 minutes — I don’t know how it went on that long. I don’t know if the teacher put it on and just walked out and left them or if the kids tricked them or something. Hopefully we haven’t ruined these kids’ childhoods.
Waterfield already announced a sequel to the film which will premiere on Valentine's Day 2023. Tigger wasn't in the first movie because he wasn't in the public domain but he will be in the sequel since the character will step into the public domain on Jan. 1, 2024.
