Bambi II is a 2006 animated movie directed by Brian Pimental and produced by DisneyToon Studios. The movie serves as a midquel to the 1942 classic film Bambi, picking up where the original left off and following the continuing adventures of the titular deer prince as he learns to become the leader of his forest after the passing of his father.
The movie features the voices of Patrick Stewart as the Great Prince of the Forest, Alexandar Gould as Young Bambi, and Keith Ferguson as Friend Owl and Brendon Baerg as Thumper.
The story takes place shortly after the events of the first film, where Bambi, a young fawn, is still adjusting to life in the forest with his mother. He is being taught important life lessons like the dangers of the forest and how to fight against predators. However, Bambi is still struggling to process the death of his father who was killed by a hunter. Meanwhile, the Great Prince of the Forest, Bambi's father, keeps his distance, believing that he is doing what is best for his son by allowing him to grow up on his own.
One day, the Great Prince realizes that he needs to train his son in case he needs to lead the herd one day. However, he is hesitant to begin the training, as he doesn't know how to approach a son that he never really knew. Friend Owl steps in and tries to help the Great Prince to understand how to approach his son.
As Bambi tries to come to grips with his new status as the Lord of the Forest, his adventures take him all across the woods. Along the way, he meets many of his friends, including Thumper the bunny, Flower the skunk, and other forest animals who help him learn more about himself and his place in the natural world.
One of the central themes of the movie is that of father-son relationships. The Great Prince has to learn how to connect with his son after being distant for so long. At the same time, Bambi is also struggling to come to grips with the loss of his father while trying to bond with someone who he barely knows. It is a touching and heartwarming exploration of the bond between father and son.
Overall, Bambi II is a charming and engaging story that will appeal to viewers of all ages. It is a piece of classic Disney animation that manages to capture the same magic and wonder of the original while still managing to tell an entirely new and unique story. A must-watch for anyone who grew up watching the original movie or who loves animation and storytelling.
Bambi II is a 2006 animated movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 12 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.1.
