Lightly amusing but unremarkable. Go to Full Review

Even if we're going to concede that the narrative space filled by Bambi II needed the filling... surely there was a better story than this one. Go to Full Review

Certainly not perfect, but Bambi II isn't a bad DTV midquel. Go to Full Review

...Bambi II never quite comes off as anything more than a needless sequel. Go to Full Review

Playing it safe renders it mediocre, unaligned with its predecessor in spirit, though its thoughtful efforts in visual and musical homage shouldn't go unnoticed. Go to Full Review

Theodore P Dec 24, 2018 Mid-quels are hard films to put together. You have a beginning and an ending present in another film. You have characters already introduced and plots in motion even before you have started your new film. It does not help that there are 85 years between the two films. Not only do they have to find new actors to play the classic characters, but Disney had also changed its animation style drastically over that time. The animation in the original is beautiful. The use of multiple layered backgrounds gives the film almost a three-dimensional look and feel and the attention to detail on the animals themselves was astonishing. The sequel seems far too cartoony and the backgrounds seem almost photo-shopped on after the fact. This film was released around the resurgence of Disney animated films but simply does not have the impact that others in its era had on audiences. This film can be skipped and you will not feel like you were missing anything. Bambi II does not live up to its predecessor in any way and does not need to be viewed as a sequel. See more
Poe R Oct 25, 2018 just as good as the first one
Han S Jul 31, 2018 On its own as a movie it's okay. There's somewhat of a plot, animation is smooth as always (although sometimes the Great Prince's movements looked a bit awkward), the colors are vibrant, there's humorous moments, and it's appealing to kids. As a "sequel" (midquel) to the original, it's not that great. 64 years later, and the soundtrack is much more modern, there's a crap crap crap ton more dialouge, art styles don't exactly match, and sometimes the characters seem out-of-character. Compared to the first movie, it's just not the same at all. I think the originally planned name of "Bambi and the Great Prince of the Forest" was much more appropriate. This movie was not really needed. The father-son bonding was nice, and Ronno's younger self gave you some background to the stag fight scene in the original, but overall it doesn't really fill in much of the gap from the first film. I'm sure there was something else they could've done that would've been better. See more
Hermione R Apr 22, 2018 Not as good as the original, but not bad overall. A cute movie.
Draco L Dec 26, 2017 Heartwarming and Charming, easily better than the first film. It has a better story, better animation, and highly lovable characters. See more
Poe M Sep 18, 2017 As far as Disney DTV sequels go, it's one of the less painful ones to sit through.
