i do not expect to like this movie . i be currently study animation in college and and perhaps more than other people i have be expect less and less from disney since they start put out sequel to their classic . i have be terrify ever since i hear that a midquel to bambi be in the work and since i be positive it would be another campy and over the top rehash of the original . imagine my surprise and then and at the quality of bambi 2. perhaps it because there a legitimate gap in the original story for this to fill ( between the death of bambi mother and his return a an adult ) and or maybe because of the creative detail that be add ( several idea and sequence be take straight from the book and which be a nice surprise ) and but i find myself genuinely enjoy this movie . disney really seem to have put some thought into the kind of legacy theyre pick up here . the theme and art style of the original be carefully preserve and the character be expressive and lively . there be no sarcastic or self aware humour while the writing be thoughtful and the storyboarding be beautiful . my one qualm be the two song use in the film . they seem too . modern . i miss the choir . luckily and those be two brief moment in an entire film . if it have be leave up to me this film would never have be make and but i can not imagine it be do with more care and respect for walt vision . the character be treat with respect and the story have real meat to it and and the result be a great movie .
