The Bambi The 1942 original, through gorgeous animation, chronicles the adventures of the titular young deer and his woodland friends, a rabbit named Thumper and a skunk named Flower. Unlike previous choices for Disney’s remake list, Bambi isn’t known for being a powerful musical or plot epic. It’s a simple coming-of-age story whose most famous aspect is the tragic death of Bambi’s mother at the hands of a human hunter. The film sees Bambi warned of the dangers of the forest as he comes to understand the world’s greatest joys and tragedies.
Following in the footsteps of The Lion King and the jungle book, the film will use photorealistic CGI to animate the creatures at the center of the story. In other words, the heartbreaking death of Bambi’s mother will be even more realistic, poised to scar more children for life.
