Bambi: The Reckoning 4K 2025 Ultra HD 2160p

80 years ago, humanity suffered collective trauma as a result of watching the seemingly harmless cartoon “Bambi.” The retraumatization happened in 2020, when Dwayne Johnson took on the role of the iconic fawn for the comedy show Saturday Night Live. And it seems that future generations will need another 80 years of therapy — the studio has launched a film adaptation of the cartoon. The director is still unknown, but it is known that Disney will follow in the footsteps of The Jungle Book and create a photo-realistic animated film that is barely distinguishable from live action. Other details are not yet known.

User Review

The Universe of Twisted Childhood continues to grind children's fairy tales into something terrifying, and Felix Salten's Bambi is next in line. We've seen Winnie the Pooh as a mutant, Peter Pan as a maniac, and now we have Bambi as... um... a mutant. We see the story of a beast that takes revenge on people for destroying his life. The general idea is interesting, of course, but the execution is completely flawed. Throughout the film, I couldn't shake the feeling of resentment for Bambi — for the talentless people he had to work with, even if they were computer-generated. What I mean is that the acting of the human actors is terrible with a capital T.
We have a mother who is ready to burst into hysterics; a son who walks around with a face as if he has shit himself but is too embarrassed to say so; a vegetable of a grandmother who is indistinguishable from the furniture; a whiny father who pretends to be a tragic actor; evil hunters who squeeze out of themselves an interest in events; a standard faceless set for a slasher, whose murders evoke no emotion. This whole company is so poor in terms of character development that after twenty minutes of watching, I literally begged Bambi to kill them to put them out of their misery. Seriously, where did they even find these people? Only Bambi tries to stir them up in any way, but it's like kicking a corpse to wake it up.

Aside from the acting, I'm also indignant about the script. We are not given any important details about the circumstances of the events, except for the traditional animated introduction. We just know the general picture: some corporation dumped “other” waste into the water, which the forest animals drank, and that's why there's all this fuss. Everything is too superficial, and the film offers us a story as bland as its characters — except for Bambi, of course.
Overall, I am very disappointed with the film. They had to make such a boring film after the exciting Winnie the Pooh 2 and the more perfect Peter Pan: Nightmare on Netland'. Well, we can only hope that the upcoming ‘Pinocchio: Loose’ by Robert ‘Freddy Krueger’ Inglund will not repeat the same mistakes.
