Bambi II |
| 2006 | |
| This
new tale is actually a "midquel" as it takes place in the middle of the original
film's story line, exploring Bambi's coming-of-age challenges. The saga begins soon after
Bambi's mother has died--and for viewers who shudder at the thought of having to relive
that traumatic movie experience, you won't. With gentle inferences to her passing, Bambi
(voiced by Alexander Gould, Finding Nemo) is left to the clumsy-though-well-meaning
care of his father, the Great Prince (voiced by Patrick Stewart) who faces the difficult
task of raising a son while silently mourning his own loss. Yet the weighty subject of
death is soon overshadowed by the wonders of forest life. Through skillful storytelling,
the film takes an early turn toward levity. After all, it's spring and Bambi's familiar
friends, Thumper and Flower, are ready to play. Especially charming are the scenes where
the forest animals give each other lessons in bravery and soon have a chance to test their
mettle in scuffles with a newcomer to the mix, a blustering bully named Ronno (voiced by
Anthony Ghannam). A strong soundtrack includes selections by Martina McBride, Michelle
Lewis, Alison Krauss, and Anthony Callea. There is even a nostalgic nod to the original
composer, Frank Churchill, with "Let's Sing a Gay Little Spring Song." The
film's strength, however, is in its well-crafted humor: simple one-liners and animated
antics that refrain from 21st century trends to cloak inappropriate innuendoes and double
entendres in G-rated clothing, hoping to pander to an adult audience. This is vintage
Disney; it panders to no one yet pleases all--delightfully worth the wait. The DVD's bonus
material includes a "making-of" featurette, Bambi trivia, and a mini-tutorial
with a Disney animator. Patrick Stewart, Cree Summer, Keith Ferguson, and Brian Pimental |
