Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

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 personally don't remember seeing this film ever. I am 20, five months away from turning 21. I remember seeing Bambi 1 in 2002 or 2003, but I don't remember seeing this movie. (Sorry for not typing the correct word that isn't "sequel", but it says when I type the definition of the middle of a first film that it's a mispelled word.) I would like to see it, as no one is ever too old for a Disney movie. I don't own it either. I wonder what it is about. This is not a sequel or prequel to Bambi 1, it is a mid quel to the first Bambi. I don't really like to use "Sequel" when it's not a second, third, etc. movie in a movie series, because sometimes there's prequels and other films taking place in the middle of first movies. Anyway, I'd like to see it!

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.

I honestly wasn't expecting Bambi 2 to be as good as it was. I found it it sweet, funny and adorable. The original Bambi is not only one of my favourite Disney movies, but one of my favourite movies ever. I thought this a very worthy sequel, well it was more of a midquel really, if a tad rushed in places. I liked the fact that they focused on Bambi and his father, after his mother dies, and the story itself was very sweet and well crafted. The animation was beautiful here, not quite as splendid as its predecessor. I have seen sequels like FernGully 2 and Secret of NIMH 2 where the animation is dull, tacky and choppy. Here it was colourful, vibrant and fluid, just look at the wondrous backgrounds. And I absolutely loved the soundtrack, that alone contributed to the film's charm. Of course I do slightly prefer the original's music, but the soundtrack here was so pleasant to the ears. The characters were every bit as likable as they were in the first- Bambi if you forgive the fact his facial expressions were overdone at times, was still adorable and appealing, and Thumper is hilarious. If there is one thing I prefer over the original, it is that the sequel is funnier than the original. The original, while having some very funny moments was more of a tearjerker and a genuine one it was too. In the sequel, there are five or six funny bits in the first fifteen minutes alone. The voice acting was most impressive, special mention must go to Patrick Stewart, who was perfect as the Great Prince. My final verdict is that it isn't quite as good as the stunning original, but along with King Of Thieves and Enchanted Christmas, this is in the top 5 of my favourite sequels. A solid 8/10 Bethany Cox
