Hi guys, I know I haven't been on lately, but school just started here last Thursday and I have been REAALLY busy! (Espcially since I didn't read two books over the summer like I was supposed to), but I couldn't pass up an anniversary. Today is the 61st Birthday of Bambi! Personally, I think Disney missed their opprotunity with a 60th Anniversary Platinum, but of course, that would have meant Beauty and the Beast wasn't out yet, and I don't think I could handle that! Let's hope they don't wait to do a 65th Anniversary DVD!

Happy Birthday Bambi! 61 one year since his mom was shot for the first time. i think now she has been shot worldwide more than a billion times

Thanks, MMB, now I know what happens in Bambi!

I'm Sorry, i thought everyone here has seen Bambi but now i remember that Disney lock their movies in moratorium depriving us from a emotional milestone for us, our kids and our kid's kids.

Wow...Bambi is 61? Amazing

Of course, Bambi will come out of moratorium in time for Bambi II: Bambi's London Adventure.

I think Disnsy should do their own version of Bambi Vs Godzilla. But of course they can't use Godzilla can they?...

How about Bambi vs Chernabog?

good idea 2099net!

i heard that one time SNL made fun of Disney sequels by making a little preview of Bambi 2 where in the movie Bambi finds out that the man who shot Bambi's mother was actually Osama Bin Laden

Does Bambi get to do the Matrix move?

I dont think anyone owns the rights to Godzilla. Hes likely in the public domain along with King Kong and all the other cheesy 1930's stop-motion monsters.

The first Godzilla movie was released in Japan in 1954. He was a man in a suit, with some animatronics for facial movements. I think that he is still legally owned by Toho Studios in Japan.

Oh no. Toho own Godzilla as Maerj says, and let me add they are fanatical about controlling their Godzilla property. Remember on the Monsters, Inc. commentary they state that they couldn't even get the rights for a Godzilla roar for their giant monster joke when Mike and Sully are walking to work.

Ever wonder why the UK and US don't get the Oringal Japanese soundtracks and cuts of any of the Godzilla movies available for sale? It's because Toho will only licence out dubbed versions to non-Japanese countries, as they are worried the Japanese will import US or UK discs, as they are typically cheaper then Japanese DVDs.

So, I guess we won't ever see the original Japanese cut of the first Godzilla movie then, huh? That's too bad. What did Toho say when the idea was proposed for the Godzilla movie made by those guys who did Independence Day? I think that I am one of the few people who actually enjoyed that movie! Or at least one of the few who will admit it.

The official story is they they were excited by the vision the American studio presented to them when asking for the licence. I suspect the real story is they thought of all the money - after all lots of promises were made by Columbia/Sony regarding the success of the movie. So if that was the reason I don't blame them.

Still I rather enjoy it too. People can cite plotholes left, right and centre but it doesn't take away from the fact that Godzilla (USA) was a fun movie with a giant lizard trashing New York. Logic was never going to be a factor in the film.

That said, I don't think it had the 'feel' of a Godzilla movie. They seems to be making a hybrid of Godzilla and Jurassic Park. I'm upset a sequel will never be made - I really want to see Godzilla (USA) in a stand-up, knock-down fight with another monster (Imagine a CGI Mecha-Godzilla or King Ghidorah - KG especially would be awesome.)

I heartily agree with you there! Or a Jurassic Park/Godzilla cross over movie might be fun. I'd love to direct that!! I would have them eat as many people as possible, blow up half the planet... it would be magnificent! Moohahahahaaa!
