We've been watching more movies because of my difficult pregnancy, and I would recommend this well before the original Bambi. I believe my daughter is able to take the frightening chase scenes, she probably doesn't think what would happen if the dogs caught the fawn, so it doesn't bother her.

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...

Something to watch "with" your kids. The subject matter gets a little deep, what with single parenting, foster parenting, and bullying. Oddly incongruent with the original and being an avid Disney fan, I was frustrated by that. My 3 year old loves it because it's funny. My 6 year old likes it because it's funny...but sad in places.

Magnificent!
An amazing love story between father and son joining together to do wonderful things. If you have seen the first Bambi you would know about all the tragic things that happens to the poor deer. Many horrible things happened to him again. With Thumper, Flower, and Bambi's Dad, Bambi learns lessons and enjoys jorneys. This story is a must for any young child, I even enjoied it. Thank you I hope this helped you make good movie choices.
