Best movie of this year hands down!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Banbi 2 isn't the adaptation of the novel "Bambi's children" by Felix Salten (and that's a huge letdown for me) and doesn't tell the subplots which the first movie hadn't while the book did. The production value is amazing and very faithful to the first movie, some visuals are very suggestive too, but the story is so thin, so underhelming that won't give you a reason to keep watch the movie. I don't know if the writers created this movie to redeem Bambi's father (careless and almost absent in the first movie) but I think they failed. Even at the end of the movie Bambi's father still looks like a careless and non-paternal dad.Final verdict 5/10 (mediocre) Unless you are deer lovers or die hard Disney's fans, you'll find Bambi 2 a skippable and forgettable movie.

I believe it has been a good 8 years or so since I last got around to watching this, do not be fooled - this is a movie that should be watched with your heart, I tell people this constantly who nay say and give it poor ratings due to it having less action than the first, this movie had a tremendous impact on me, I started seeing the love in other people thanks to the influence this had on me, words don't do it justice, this is the best movie ever made, and I'm not even sure if I've seen it all or at all, maybe a trailer... No I don't think so, for if I had not seen this masterpiece how could I so confidently say it is superior to the first movie? Exactly.

Plotwise I like this one better than the original! I love the father-son relationship between Bambi and his dad! I love how we get to see the more vulnerable side of The Great Prince, because we never saw any of that in the original movie. The score in the first movie was breathtakingly beautiful and it was better (and scarier), but the music that plays in the background when Bambi is with his father is so beautiful! I liked how they reused "Let's Sing a Gay Little Spring Song" and "Love is a Song" but I would have liked it to be used a little more. I really liked the two songs that were sung in the background in this movie, some have complained that the songs are too popish and modern compared to the songs in the original Bambi, but that is to be expected, it was 2006 not 1942. But they could have done a lot worse and the songs only serve as background music for time-skip sequences (don't know any better word for it". During the first song we see the landscape change as spring comes closer and the animals wake up from their winter-sleep and during the second one we see Bambi and his father bonding. The animation surpasses that of any other Disney sequel and so much thought and research was put into this. Unlike most other Disney movies with sequels Bambi actually left room for one. This sequel explains a lot of things that were never explained in the first one. Like what happened to Bambi after his mother died? Who took care of him? And who was the stag that Bambi fought for Faline? If you watch the second fight with Ronno in the sequel and then watch the fight in the first one you will see that it is exactly the same, so is the way he tries to force Faline to follow him instead of staying with Bambi. It is a great sequel! If you haven't watched it yet you should!

I know a lot of you hate these sequels(Or prequels), but seriously, this one was great! It explains what happens between after Bambi's mother's death and before he grows up, and focuses on Bambi and his father, The Great Prince Of The Forest.I found it entertaining, not wandering off the original's storyline too much, and overall really good. It's better than you expect it to be.I don't know why people hate sequels and prequels so much. To be honest, I think most people don't give them a chance. But you should give this one a chance, it's not disappointing.I'm really fond of the songs. And did I mention the voice-work is great? Obviously not like the original voices, but hey, that can't be helped!
