The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Bambi II is an in-between-quel set amidst the events of the first film, we see young Bambi alone without his Mother, his Father The Great Prince of the Forest watches over him until a suitable mother is found.In a time when Disney sequels have been spewed out left and right most of which are annoying and just plain bad.
It'd be easy to assume Bambi II would fit into that mess, however it does not.Alexander Gould voicing Bambi is perfect, he sounds exactly like the original actor.
Patrick Stewart voices the Great Prince, I wasn't sure if that was a good choice or not but it turned out to be great! Stewart's voice acting is dramatic yet humorous when needed.Bambi II balances humor and drama much like its classic predecessor.
Really the only part of the story I didn't like was the bully who one-upped Bambi all the time. He was pointless and clichéd.The kids will love it and you should too!

I only just found this on Sky Cinema (download) about two weeks ago and I've already watched it 10 times! I think it's absolutely charming and heart warming. Not only that but the actions and reactions of all the little creatures, especially Bambi, were so beautifully observed and drawn from real life, I was quite entranced. The entire story is also well drawn and I love how it picks up from the moment Bambi is calling for his lost mother and his father appears.So other than the obvious bits of anthropomorphism, which can be forgiven, little Bambi came alive again in all his unique charm and cuteness! Well done Disney and all involved. A great job well done.

Once upon a time...Walt Disney made timeless, beautifully animated classics for children, stressing the universal quality of the tale, and avoiding current references, cheap laughs (such as having animals fart) and in-jokes directed at adults. Well, folks, this wonderful films is a throwback to those days--its a grand, if often poignant, adventure in the woods, as Bambi learns to be courageous with the help of Thumper and Flower (back again, the former with four sweet, giggling sisters) and with his father.This is, indeed, more a film for the present (since Mommy was taken away in the original) a Sonny-Daddy bonding movie, but the animation is gloriously anachronistic, carefully hearkening back to the classic Disney look, immersing the viewers, be they children or adults, in the luxurious changing seasons, all the while telling a solid story.Some folks complain it isn't long enough, which I think is just another indication that we have become overstuffed and incredibly greedy--the original Bambi was a minute shorter than this, Dumbo just above an hour, and even Snow White only ten minutes longer. Do we need to SuperSize everything? Bravo Disney! If you had called this Prince Bambi instead of Bambi II, it would have cleaned up at the box office! Sensitive adults are advised to bring hankies.

I enjoyed Bambi II, just as I enjoyed the first one, which was great, but I think this sequel is slightly better, which most people may disagree with, but this is just what I think. I like how they put this movie right in the middle of the first one (hopefully not spoiling anything) and it's a good little kinda "intermission" sequel, and it possibly had the longest wait since the first one, which came out in 1942, this one just 2006. And most people would think the first one is better because it was amazing for it's time. Since I'm not that old I wasn't alive back then, but I still really enjoyed the first one when I saw it out on DVD. But this one still has some characters you just hate, (especially the porcupine) but most of them are enjoyable. It is good for the kids, and if you saw the first one back in the 40's, you'll probably think the sequel is OK. I'd recommend it for fans of the first one anyway. Thanks for reading this review on the 2nd Bambi.
