Lightly amusing but unremarkable.
Even if we're going to concede that the narrative space filled by Bambi II needed the filling... surely there was a better story than this one.
Certainly not perfect, but Bambi II isn't a bad DTV midquel.
Maybe Bambi II is II much Bambi.
...Bambi II never quite comes off as anything more than a needless sequel.
Playing it safe renders it mediocre, unaligned with its predecessor in spirit, though its thoughtful efforts in visual and musical homage shouldn't go unnoticed.
This is solid proof that in times of such dire straits, like the direct to video Disney sequels, hope still exists. The endless patience has been worth it.
Bambi II doesn't entirely live up to the original, but how could it?
While it might have been interesting to see Bambi truly updated for the 21st century with up-to-date computer animation techniques, I rather liked the route they took.
I can't deny the movie is a delight to the eye and may be playful enough to entertain young children. For me, however, the original is enough.
I like Bambi 2 better than the first one.

Weak! They screwed the first one over!
I own nearly all the old Disney animated classic movies on VHS and have been watching them all my life. I don't know why, but the original Bambi was never one of my favorites of them, but rather one of my lesser favorites. I much prefer this sequel. Purists may scoff that Bambi is grown and has a family of his own at the end of the original and that this one should've picked up there, but I like that it picked up right after his mom died. It definitely works as an animated drama that I can relate to a lot. Many of us struggle all our lives with trying to impress our parents and make them proud, as Bambi does with his father, and what a joy to see them finally bonding. Excellent sequel that surpasses the original.
i loved it i thought it was sweet and charming this one isnt sad like the first one it puts a big smile on your face
