2GOLD 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 Someone said on the imdb message board that on the new Bambi DVD coming out, there is a preview for a Bambi sequel. Can anyone confirm this? Yup, a direct-to-dvd release. Disney does this all the time, so I'm not one bit surprised. I think it's titled, "Bambi and the Great Prince of the Forest" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 Yes, I was right. Premise: The new film is a 'midquel', the story taking place in the middle of the first Bambi movie. It is your basic teenage angst tale, dealing with Bambi coping with his Father, the Great Prince, and his finding of a new mate while an orphaned Bambi comes to terms with his Mother's death. -- Animated News That's right boys and girls, Bambi was too damn fun! WE MUST SEE A DEER SAD! We must see the story of a single father DEER and how Bambi will handle when his father finds a new mate. That's right, it's a freaking "Daddy gets new mate, Bambi sad" story.

Placebo Effect 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 Has there ever been a GOOD direct-to-DVD sequel? Ever? Beyond Re-Animinator was very cool, although that can be defined as more of a labor of love rather than a cash-in like most DTV sequels are. I dug Hellraiser: Inferno, as did many horror reviewers. Sniper 2 & 3, when you consider the first one's shortcomings, aren't bad. Nothing great, though. Leprechaun Back 2 Tha Hood was good fun, but not necessarily a GOOD movie. In general, yes, direct-to-video sequels are terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slayer 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 I wouldn't blame the animators. Marketing execs say "Since we're at a loss for new ideas, what old movie can we sequelize?" and then hand the orders down from there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 Has there ever been a GOOD direct-to-DVD sequel? Ever? I think Toy Story 2 was originally intended to be an OAV.

Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 Disney poops on everything good they've done with direct to video sequels. The 2nd and 3rd Aladins were rancid, looked like Saturday morning cartoon animation. And The Prophecy 2 and 3 were straight to video and great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 "Toy Story 2" was indeed supposed to be DTV, but somewhere in the script process they realized they had some theatrical release material on their hands. I'm not that concerned with Disney's second rate DTV sequels--they are harmless cash-ins in that medium. What concerns me is when they don't have any good ideas for theatrical releases, and things like "The Jungle Book 2" and "Peter Pan 2" get bumped up to the silver screen.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 Well, there is ONE positive about this movie. Patrick Stewart will be the voice of the GREAT PRINCE OF THE FOREST aka Daddy of Bambi. But seriously, Bambi having to deal with his dad getting a new mate? An angsty deer movie? Someone at Disney needs to put down the crack pipe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ted the Poster 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 Undoubtedly. Fuck this movie. If I want to see Patrick Stewart do voice work, I'll pop in my Nausicaa DVD. The Mulan sequel is mediocre. That guy may sound very similar to Eddie Murphy, but it just isn't the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CBright7831 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2005 Come to think of it, Bambi's father always came off as a scary asshole to me when I was a kid. Probably because of his tone of voice and lack of emotion (even when he announced to his son that his mother had died). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
