Unfortunately, my buddy had to take it back (its one of those screener ones with the crap flashing all over), so, I still have mine on order, and when it comes can't wait to watch it again and see all the features. 10 more days

..Zol and Isidour, you guys being the bambi fans you are, I know you'll like it.

You mean 900 words...
And you know as far as watching all the clips I've seen doesn't give me a clear sense of the movie. I'm left to assume. But from what I've seen I still stand by what I said earlier.

I finally preordered it. Got that premium shipping and what not. Oh yeah, I'm definitely feeling it.

MTC wrote:Now on this I hope you're right! Maybe with Lassiter at the helm this just might fall into the realm of possibilites. God knows it'd be a much better film than this one and it would return the "franchise" to what made it so great to begin with. OMG, did I say "FRANCHISE"???? EEEK!

Yeah now that they dug into it they'll probably make a whole Bambi saga. Like Bambi 623: So Very Tired!!!.

Even though i've seen it already (I had to give it back though, and it had all that "THIS IS A SCREENER" flashing all over it the whole film) I am still psyched about getting it..10 days

Everywhere I flip on TV I see Bambi II previews, and I wonder, why I am I gettin so excited to see the film AGAIN!?! I must just be a freak...

now today I just watched the weirdest thing in my whole life...just before Jerry Springer show was transmited today I saw the spot of Bambi 2...yeah, I know it´s kind of dumb, but hey, first you see the international icon if innocence and just then the very icon of...whatever Jerry Springer is about...but is kind of weird

Dang it, I still haven't seen a commercial yet. But it's coming out in less than 8 days so I don't really mind. It's just that I haven't seen one yet.

Isidour · Post by **Isidour** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 8:56 pm

so you haven´t seen Thumper singing to Bambi
"You cannot jump...Yo´re afraid"?

Isidour · Post by **Isidour** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 12:05 pm

there is no way the original Bambi was kiddified, it was one of the most intense movies ever made and I have seen a crapload of horror movies.
Sure it had cute moments for kids, but nowdays it would be Rated R for intense sequences of terror.

Zoltack · Post by **Zoltack** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 6:41 pm

You thought Bambi was intense??? Yes it has it's tense moments but certainly not enough to be rated R. Go watch Underworld: Evolution... you'll get my drift, I mean seeing how we're talking about intense movies...

Isidour · Post by **Isidour** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 7:11 pm

well...maybe it would be nc-17 if it was made by the book(and I mean the real book)

bambifan56 · Post by **bambifan56** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 7:32 pm

Yea, with Gobo talking to the "Friendly" he and gets shot and is dragged away by man, or the scene where Faline is calling him it really is man(Which was my favorite part of the book.

)

Are you kidding? Have you ever read the book??? Believe me, it's ALOT darker than the film ever was! The chapter about a fox being hunted by a pack of hounds and confronting them before being killed in rather graphic detail ain't exactly Winnie-the-Pooh! Or how about the death of Faline's brother Gobo (she had a twin brother in the book) at the hands of a hunter? Come ON! There ain't a snowball's chance in whatever that you could include scenes like these in a "family" film without scaring the daylights out of the kids and having the Hays office in hissy fits about the content! You gotta give Uncle Walt lots of credit.......he managed to tone down the content and yet keep a few of the more serious bits from the novel. Example: the pheasents huddling in the grass as the hunters approach. The two leaves hanging from the branch at the beginning of Winter.....in the book, they're having a conversation and from what I read someplace, Disney wanted to do it that way but had decided not to due to time constraints. The fight with Ronno (Bambi and Ronno knew each other, by the way), the bit where Bambi is shot, and of course the death of Bambi's mother. There are no characters like Flower and Thumper in the book but there is a rabbit that Bambi befriends and eventually sees being killed during the same hunt that takes the life of his mother. Simply put, the subject of death at the hands of Man is an intregal and as said graphic part of the book......most definitely not the type of stuff you could ever include in a family film without giving the kids nightmares for life!

or the good-bye that Bambi gave to Gobo in winter, when he can´t help him

Zoltack · Post by **Zoltack** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 8:24 pm

Well if they went with the book it would be PG-13 tops even though the book was really graphic.
Like... WARNING SPOILER

the fox getting mauled by the hound.
the prince in the meadow.
when you know who (starts with a G) dies.
when Bambi gets shoot.
when the rabbit is caught in the trap.
when Mrs. Rabbit dies.
when one of the squirrels die because of the ferret.
when the man dies and Bambi and GP are watching him.
when the screech owl tares up that field mouse.
Ronno is lame because he got shoot in the leg.
when Bambi impales Ronno with his antlers.
if I missed anything please feel free to add, I haven't read that book in a while.

Now in the movie...
Bambi gets shot...
A couple of pheasants get shoot
of course Bambi's mother gets shoot

Not as much death in the movie as there is in the book. But it would certainly not be rated R. And lets not forget the foul language, like when the jay calls Bambi a little freak... priceless.

Bambi being unable to help Gobo when Bambi´s mom dies

Think we've made our point...........could you imagine someone creating an animated film of Bambi that was adapted and I mean REALLY adapted from the book with all those elements intact? I'm not talking about sensationalizing the violence in the book for the sake of it, I'm talking about a beautifully rendered, full on animated movie that would retain the realism of the book and be a visual feast to the eye the same way Walt's version was except minus the cutesypoo. Draw the characters in a more natural manner till it looks like a moving painting rather than a "cartoon" and show that a film with mature content could be done sucessfully in a 2D environment. The mind boggles at the very idea, don't it?
