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...

I like this movie. We get the see Bambi's rival Ronno when a kid. I wish there was a Bambi 3 with Bambi and Faline as a loving father & mother and their kids maturing each day. I like it. I highly reccomeded it

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.
