February 7, 2006: Disney's Bambi II (2006) is released on DVD and VHS.

This is the last Disney film to be regularly released on VHS as future releases on the format would be sold exclusively on the Disney Movie Club.

Unpopular opinion but I actually like Bambi II better I think? Idk.

The original is beautiful to look at and really relaxing and comforting, but it's a little bit nothingy and watered down from the original novel in a way that completely changes the story. In the book, the way Bambi left Falene because he was totally enamoured by the Old Stag really spoke to me (ace, lesbian, seeking out elders and mentor figures for a lot of my life). And though the sequel is a bit too kid-ified for an adult without nostalgia to sit through, the sequel DOES recreate this dynamic in a way!!

Plus I like Patrick Stewart as the Great Prince, I like how much winter we get, I like how the meadow scene is actually really unsettling (it haunted me forever as a kid and it still gives me the creeps), I think it's visually pleasing. Also I like how the movie was obviously influenced by the second generation Winnie the Pooh movies (which I like and watch a lot) with random sort-of contemporary songs by a female singer sprinkled throughout. The style of the movie holds it up; it's very watchable as a Disney sequel.

Bambi: The Great Prince of the Forest —Aesthetic

The Great Prince of the Forest's Character & Personality

The Great Prince is the protector of the forest and Bambi's father. Unfortunately, he's the widower of the Great Princess of the Forest. After his mate's death, Great Prince tried to appear strong for the sake of his son. However, he would get upset at the meer mention of her. Great Prince is a highly dignified deer who sometimes treats his child harshly without realizing it. Although he has an intimidating appearance and presence, he has a loving heart, especially towards his family. Thus, Great Prince loves his son more than anything. In fact, he admitted he was a lot like his son as a fawn.

Bambi II (2006) dir. Brian Pimental. 7.5/10

I wouldn't recommend this movie to my friends. I wouldn't rewatch this movie.

I want this owl to meet the owl who found Tod a home in Fox and the Hound. Just like with the Fox and the Hound 2, this is too modern of animation for my liking, but we're all still cute.

The father figure we didn't know that Bambi needed.

Thumper's sisters loving him is so cute. Dad and son enjoying each other is so beautiful. This is a great sequel. I like the addition of it.

Lmao at the possum things acting dead.

So I want to take a moment to appreciate Bambi II

Not only do they use scenery, places, and characters referenced on the first film bit they also use significant dialogue

When Mena is caught in the trap she aays the exact words that his mother said to him before she died like come on you guys omg

I love these movies

How DARE they deprive him of his lovely lashes in the sequel

So... Ronna is... a trauma survivor, right?

In Bambi II, Ronno knows what a deer call is and how to describe it--and that's possibly secondhand info, but where did he hear about it? Maybe another deer witnessed a hunter using a deer call and survived to spread the word, yeah. But also--Ronno has a notch in one of his ears, which could very possibly be man-made.

I kind of have a headcanon Ronno did encounter a hunter, but maybe he was kidnapped or taken in for a short time like Gobo in the book. It probably wasn't pleasant, because he only exhibits trauma symptoms. He probably either wasn't going to be a pet or wasn't going to warm up to a family.

The movie is already about healing from trauma, so I'd love looking at it with Ronno acting as a Bambi foil as well as representing the uglier ways someone heals from trauma (overdramatization, low empathy, selfishness, picking fights, acting "tough" but also being a crybaby, claiming to be grown up but also being behind maturity-wise. That last one is clearly apparent; it's suggested that Ronno is a little older than the other kids by his antlers alone. So why's he the least mature out of all of them.).
