Bambi II

[theradicalchild]

Not based on Felix Salten's literary sequel to the original Bambi on which the first film was loosely based, this is a midquel set during the winter and early spring of the first film with Bambi bonding with his father the Great Prince of the Forest as voiced by Patrick Stewart. Often Tastes Like Diabetes but is definitely one of the better direct-to-video Disney sequels.

I enjoyed Bambi II but I've always been a fan of the classic Disney animation style and they measured up to it in this one.

I haven't forgotten going with my family to see the original film at the Mel Theater in Melvindale, Michigan where we lived back then. I must have been like about 3 years old, and I started sobbing when Bambi's mother was killed. My dad carried me out of the theater and made me wait in the car with him until it was over and the others came out.
