What Parents Need to Know
About Bambi II
Parents need to know that this movie picks up right where Bambi left off. There are many references to the death of Bambi's mother and frightening scenes of hunting dogs chasing Bambi. Faline's mother is caught in a hunter's trap. A new character, Ronno, is a bully fawn who picks on Bambi -- "Isn't Bambi a girl's name?"

Good film, with a couple of hesitations
When I saw the previews for this direct to DVD movie, I was surprised at my interest level. The animation was better than your usual direct to DVD movie, and they got Patrick Stewart to voice Bambi's father. Overall I enjoyed this film, especially the father and son bonding. However, I'm not completely sold on it. An antihero character, Ronno exhibits some behaviors I'm not sure I'm ready for my 6 year-old to see just yet. He's very disrespectful to his mother, yelling at her when she asks him to come. Yet she does nothing to admonish him. He taunts Bambi for having a "girl's name", and the use of the phrase "momma's boy" is used in a mean way. Thumper the rabbit also says his mother is "not the boss of me", which isn't very respectful. Fortunately, she sets him straight and doesn't tolerate his disrespect. Despite these reservations, I still might keep the DVD for now and maybe wait until my son is older to watch it. The story, animation and music are well done. In the meantime, I'll just keep thinking about it...
